    analytics, with deep domain fluency in non-prime and alternative lending
  • Ensure analyses reflect how lenders actually evaluate risk, including loss exposure,
    fraud risk, approval and conversion lift, and earlyโ€‘life performance indicators
  • Act as the final interpretive checkpoint for customerโ€‘facing lending analyses prior to delivery
  • Review and approve analytical outputs for accuracy, relevance, and realโ€‘world defensibility

Customer Analytics Management

  • Own prioritization, scoping, and execution of customerโ€‘driven analytical requests
  • Lead, mentor, and develop Customer Analytics team members (current and future)
  • Establish repeatable analytical frameworks for common lending use cases (e.g.,

  • Set standards for analytical rigor, documentation quality, and narrative consistency

Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Partner closely with Sales, Client Success, Product, and R&D on lenderโ€‘specific
    questions and insights
  • Translate lender feedback into structured input for R&D, highlighting gaps between
    model output, lender interpretation, and realโ€‘world decision constraints
  • Influence product roadmap priorities and goโ€‘toโ€‘market messaging based on lender
    realities and market norms

Strategic Platform Ownership

  • Serve as the public and internal face of ValidiFIโ€™s data studies and lending analytics strategy
  • Drive conversations and recommendations around new or enhanced risk model
    features and capabilities
  • Ensure consistency, credibility, and defensibility across all lenderโ€‘facing analytical
    work
Qualifications:
  • 7โ€“10+ years of experience in lending, credit risk, fraud analytics, or financial risk
  • Direct experience supporting banks, fintech lenders, or nonโ€‘prime / alternative credit providers
  • Deep understanding of underwriting and credit policy design, fraud detection techniques, portfolio monitoring, and earlyโ€‘risk indicators
  • Familiarity with regulatory and compliance considerations relevant to lending
  • Ability to combine quantitative outputs with realโ€‘world lending judgment to produce
    conclusions that withstand scrutiny from both technical and business stakeholders
  • Strong ability to translate complex analytics into clear, lenderโ€‘ready narratives
  • Fluent in core dataโ€‘science concepts and metrics (e.g., AUC, KS, lift, stability, and model drift)
  • Familiarity with analytical languages such as R (and similar tools) is beneficial but not required
