You will partner heavily with various teams across Card (i.e. Card Finance, Business Lines, Corporate Strategy, CRM, etc.) to solve important business problems that will ultimately drive value to the company. You will be encouraged to drive insights, take risks, and seek out new responsibilities to create leverage for the team. We work to drive efficiencies, collaboration, innovation and outsized value across the Card organization through the various lenses we maintain as hybrid analysts (BA, DA, FA, Strategy, etc.) in our analysis and storytelling. On this team, you’ll have the opportunity to grow and develop your understanding of our Card business through analysis and access to data that you likely wouldn’t see in other financial analyst roles. Because we partner heavily with senior Card leaders to solve complex problems, strong influence, strategic analytical thinking and storytelling skills are a must.
