- Work with bank and lending partners to evaluate policy outcomes and recommend targeted underwriting or line-assignment refinements based on evidence.

- Lead growth and customer value management analysis across conversion funnels, activation, usage, cross-sell, retention, offers, and lifecycle journeys.

- Design experiments and challenger analyses; forecast acquisition, engagement, and portfolio outcomes and quantify trade-offs among growth, risk, and profitability.

- Connect findings to P&L drivers such as revenue, acquisition and servicing costs, contribution margin, customer lifetime value, and unit economics.

- Explore AI and machine-learning use cases in analytics and decision support with appropriate validation and explainability.

- Define metrics, automate recurring reporting, communicate actionable insights, and guide junior analysts.

What You Bring:

- Bachelor's degree from a Tier-1 college (IIT, BITS, NIT) or an equivalent quantitative background.

- 5 - 6 years of experience in credit-risk analytics, data science, or quantitative modelling for cards or other lending products, including hands-on model development.

- Proficiency in Python and SQL, statistical analysis, experimentation, forecasting, and visualization tools such as Tableau, Domo, or Power BI.

- Understanding of P&L and unit economics and exposure to AI/ML applications.

- Ability to guide junior team members and drive cross-functional analytical projects to completion.
