Responsibilities
- Analyze financial and operational data to identify potential risks.
- Develop and implement risk management strategies.
- Monitor and report on risk levels and compliance with policies.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to assess risk impact.
- Prepare comprehensive risk assessment reports for management.
- Conduct regular risk audits and provide recommendations for improvement.
- Acquisition Underwriting: Evaluate incoming debt-sale opportunities by building loan-level and cohort-level collection and cash-flow forecasts and recommending bid pricing, expressed in cents on the dollar.
- Stratify portfolios by product type, balance band, delinquency/age, state (statute-of-limitations exposure), and account attributes to understand what drives value.
- Run seller data due diligence: completeness and fill rates, balance reconciliation to the tape, documentation/media availability, chain of title, bankruptcy/deceased scrubs, and prior placement history.
- Build return models — IRR, MOIC, NPV/discounting, hurdle achievement — and stress-test the assumptions that matter most.
- Translate underwriting assumptions into explicit, monitorable post-purchase expectations so we can later measure actual vs. underwritten.
- Portfolio Surveillance: Track actual collection curves against underwritten curves by batch and vintage.
- Maintain IRR/MOIC tracking against hurdle targets; flag underperformance early.
- Partner with Data Science on estimated remaining collections (ERC) recalibration.
- Diagnose return gaps by connecting them to operational drivers (outreach cadence, right-party contact, conversion, break/keep rates) and population factors (bankruptcy, bad contact data).
- Produce recurring portfolio-risk reporting for leadership.
- Building the Function: Help establish the risk playbook: underwriting standards, pricing methodology, monitoring cadence, and escalation thresholds.
- Codify reusable analyses and write documentation for clarity and replicability.
- Work with leadership to define risk appetite and the guardrails around it.
