Quantify and manage trade-offs between disbursement growth, risk appetite, and profitability.

Experimentation

Design and analyze controlled experiments or policy tests (e.g., limit changes, approval threshold adjustments) to measure causal impact on risk and profitability.

Ensure changes to credit policies are supported by rigorous evidence and clearly understood risk implications.

Partner closely with the business team, product, engineering, accounting and operations to align modeling outputs with operational constraints and business objectives.

Support model governance, documentation, and audit requirements, including alignment with internal risk frameworks and regulatory expectations
