GreenSky seeks a seasoned credit risk professional to serve as the primary owner of near-prime and second-look credit strategy for its Home Improvement lending platform. This role spans strategy design through execution and sits at the center of unit economics, underwriting, servicing, and capital markets with direct responsibility for profitability and disciplined growth.

This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who wants to run a complex credit program end-to-end. The individual will define and maintain loan-level valuation frameworks, monitor early performance signals, design and execute test-and-learn strategies, and directly implement credit policies within GreenSky’s decisioning infrastructure. Success in this role requires comfort operating with white space, making judgment calls, continuously refining strategy as performance emerges, and working cross-functionally with others in the enterprise to execute.

The role will function as the primary owner for near-prime credit economics, operating independently while collaborating closely with senior leaders across Credit, Product, Servicing, and Capital Markets. Over time, the role may expand to include team leadership as the program matures.

Duties & Responsibilities

Loan Valuation & Credit Economics

• Build and maintain loan-level valuation models incorporating cumulative and non-cumulative loss, delinquency roll-rates, prepayment behavior, minimum payment dynamics, recoveries, and balance / cash-flow curves
• Translate performance assumptions into asset margin, risk-adjusted return, and profitability estimates
• Perform downside and sensitivity analysis to understand risk tradeoffs and economic boundaries

Performance Monitoring & Early Warning

• Monitor early-stage delinquency, roll behavior, and payment performance for near-prime and second-look populations
• Convert early performance signals into forward-looking loss and profitability forecasts, not just retrospective reporting
• Identify emerging risks and recommend timely strategy or policy adjustments

Credit Strategy & Test-and-Learn

• Design and execute test-and-learn frameworks across underwriting, segmentation, approval criteria, limits, and pricing
• Define success metrics, guardrails, and decision criteria to support scaling, refinement, or discontinuation of strategies
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Capital Markets, Legal/Compliance, and Servicing to ensure strategies are executable and well-controlled

Decisioning & Strategy Implementation

• Code and implement credit strategies within GreenSky’s decision engine
• Translate analytical insights into production-ready strategies, rules, and decision logic
• Support ongoing optimization through disciplined iteration and performance feedback loops

Borrower Communications & Servicing Strategy

• Collaborate on the design and testing of borrower communication strategies across multiple channels, including activation, payment reminders, and early-stage delinquency outreach
• Evaluate communication effectiveness using controlled testing methodologies
• Inform servicing and collections approaches for higher-risk segments

Leadership & Collaboration

• Operate independently with senior stakeholders across Credit, Product, Capital Markets, and Servicing
• Partner with others within risk including credit strategy and collections strategy to design and test new strategies
• Communicate complex analytical findings clearly to senior audiences
• Potentially manage and mentor junior team members as the function scales
