- Expertise in data analysis: Proficient in extracting insights from large datasets, with hands-on experience using tools such as Python, R, SQL, and other data analysis platforms to create robust risk detection strategies.
- Strong knowledge of credit risks: Deep understanding of commercial credit, including areas such as bank-based underwriting, financial statement analysis, and/or insurance premium setting.
- Data-driven approach to decision-making: Experience in developing data-driven strategies that address risks while balancing the impact on customer experience and operational efficiency.
- Effective cross-functional collaboration: Proven ability to collaborate with product, risk, and engineering teams to drive fraud risk initiatives.
- Educational background: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or Operations Research. A Master’s degree is preferred.
