Key skills for this role
Do you love diving into data, solving problems with tech, and learning how fintechs get funded by lenders? Are you equally skilled at balancing deep thinking with pragmatic execution, and always delivering on time? If you’re ready to take your strategic thinking, advanced analytic skills, and knack for digging into the details to the next level, while leaving your mark on a rapidly growing organization, we want to hear from you!
We are seeking a Manager of Risk Analytics & Modeling - Forecasting, to work under the direction of the Director - Risk Analytics, Data Science & Reporting to deliver accurate and precise time series models and forecasts that deliver the insights necessary to optimise planning and decision-making. The chosen candidate will also play a key role in building new forecasting capabilities, operationalising and automating forecasting processes, leading forecasting deep dives, and arming stakeholders across the business with the information and advice needed to win.
If bouncing between building predictive forecasts, responding to urgent leadership requests, and figuring out how to turn complex human behaviour into succinct algorithms excites you, then you’re the dynamic forecasting analytics and modeling manager we’re looking for! Just make sure to bring your communication “A-game” along with your drive, personality and aptitude for solving problems. Translating macroeconomic effects and microeconomic personal intermediated decision-making into accurate and precise predictions is no small feat and requires a ton of team-based continuous improvement.
