This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who wants to run a set of credit strategies end-to-end. The individual will define and maintain loan-level valuation frameworks, monitor early performance signals, design and execute test-and-learn strategies, manage pre-screen credit strategy, and directly implement credit policies within GreenSky's decisioning infrastructure.

Performance Monitoring & Early Warning

• Define success metrics, guardrails, and decision criteria to support scaling, refinement, or discontinuation of strategies
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Capital Markets, Legal/Compliance, and Servicing to ensure strategies are executable and well-controlled
• Own and manage pre-screen credit strategy, including criteria design, execution, and performance monitoring for prescreened acquisition campaigns

Decisioning & Strategy Implementation

• Code and implement credit strategies within GreenSky's decision engine
• Translate analytical insights into production-ready strategies, rules, and decision logic
• Support ongoing optimization through disciplined iteration and performance feedback loops

Borrower Communications & Servicing Strategy

• Evaluate communication effectiveness using controlled testing methodologies
• Inform servicing and collections approaches for higher-risk segments

Leadership & Collaboration

• Partner with stakeholders across Credit, Product, Capital Markets, and Servicing
• Partner with others within risk including credit strategy and collections strategy to design and test new strategies
