Over the course of each project, you will gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop and communicate recommendations to business stakeholders. To give you an idea of what to expect as a Strategy Analyst intern, here are a few project examples: Analyzing trends in fraudulent credit card applications and transactions in order to enhance our suite of models and tools. The goal: reduce fraud costs and minimize negative experiences for our cardholders. Developing a framework through which customers may benefit from having a different card than the one they currently have. The goal: enhancing the overall value provided to the customer while being mindful of the additional costs and credit risk associated with different products. Building a challenger model to an existing model that predicts how much customers are likely to spend on their credit cards. The goal: understanding if a simpler model could capture enough of the business value to justify retiring the complex model. Be ready to join a community of the smartest people you’ve ever met, who see the customer first, and want to use their data skills to change banking for good.
