Are you ready to take on a dynamic role as a Consumer Risk Portfolio Manager, overseeing a $20B residential Mortgage and Home Equity portfolio? If you're passionate about real estate lending, have a knack for data analysis, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we want you to join our team!

As the Consumer Risk Portfolio Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our lending policy based on Risk Appetite, regulatory requirements, market trends, and their downstream impact on our portfolio. You'll source and analyze data from various internal and external sources to quantify the impact of policy changes on new volume, delinquency rates, and credit loss. Using data tools like SAS, SQL, Power BI, and Excel, you'll delve deep into portfolio performance, extracting insights that will inform our product roadmap and policy actions. Your financial modeling expertise will be put to good use as you optimize risk and return on assigned portfolios.

This is a high-visibility role that requires cross-functional collaboration with teams including Product Management, Finance, Operations, Compliance, and Marketing. You'll have the opportunity to influence decision-making at the executive level by creating and presenting key takeaways from business and policy initiatives. If you're a talented and motivated individual with a passion for real estate lending, data analysis, and policy shaping, we want you on our team.

What we are looking for in an ideal candidate:

Lending Expertise: We're looking for candidates with experience in Lending Product Management and/or Underwriting. If you've worked in secondary marketing and have a deep understanding of real estate lending regulations and practices, you're a perfect fit.
Mortgage Knowledge: Understanding agency and regulator bulletins, as well as how macro trends impact customer behavior in the mortgage industry, is crucial.
Competency/SME Areas: Knowledge of the competitive landscape, lending limits, FICO/LTV/Reserves, PMI, Relationship Pricing, Total Customer Value, and behavioral segmentation is highly desirable. Experience with static pools and data curves is a plus.
Data Proficiency: Are you a whiz with SAS, SQL, or Excel? We need someone who can crunch numbers, analyze data, and build financial models. Experience with NPV, discounted cash flows, and P&L analysis is a plus.
Presentation Skills: Strong communication skills are essential. You should excel in creating and delivering presentations that convey key insights from business and policy initiatives.
