We are looking for a hands-on, data-driven leader to own and operationalize the credit risk decisions that power our business. As the Director of Credit Risk, you will report directly to the Chief Credit & Risk Officer and manage a lending portfolio that is rapidly expanding in scale and complexity.
This isn't a maintenance role. You will be joining an experienced team focused on “Getting Stuff Done (#GSD)” where data insights and a "design of experiments" mindset guide decision making. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, leading high-stakes strategies, and "getting your hands dirty" in the weeds of credit risk management.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute across multiple retail credit risk domains, including acquisition and client management strategies, credit risk modeling, loss mitigation / collections strategies, loss forecasts, and portfolio reporting and monitoring.
Culture matters deeply to us. You will have the support of experienced colleagues across the organization looking to drive results together. We will look to you to lead with expertise and curiosity, build strong collaborative relationships, and thrive in a team that values transparency, accountability, and a shared sense of purpose.
We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and physical ability.
Diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experience is fundamental to our business. We believe in fostering an environment where team members of all backgrounds can feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work every day. We aim to ensure all of our employees work in an environment that makes them feel valued, heard, and supported while they strive towards career pursuits and their personal and professional growth.
We are committed to providing accommodations for all candidates that require them and in all aspects of the recruitment, selection, and/or assessment process. If you are selected to participate in any part of the selection and/or assessment process, please inform us of any accommodation(s) that you may require.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
We’re flattered that you’d like to join our team, but only applicants selected to proceed in the hiring process will be contacted.
