• Use AI-driven tools and techniques to sharpen credit performance analysis, surface optimization opportunities, and streamline workflows, while setting a high bar for responsible, explainable use
• Implement credit strategy changes with rigorous testing and strong preventive and detective controls
• Maintain credit policy documentation and standard operating procedures in line with bank and regulatory standards
• Partner with Product, Business, Engineering, and Data Science to drive innovation and new product development
