Job description

Moody’s is transforming how the world sees risk. As a global leader in ratings and integrated risk assessment, we’re advancing AI to move from insight to action-enabling intelligence that not only understands complexity but responds to it. We decode risk to unlock opportunity, helping our clients navigate uncertainty with clarity, speed, and confidence.

• Understanding of credit risk concepts and lending decision processes
• Interest in exploring AI systems and a willingness to develop awareness of responsible AI practices, including risk management and ethical use
• Preferred: Knowledge of how lenders assess borrower risk, structure credit decisions, and manage portfolios to support the effective translation of data and analytics into product capabilities
• Preferred: Intellectual curiosity and willingness to challenge existing product norms; actively seeks better ways to practice product management, stays current on evolving techniques and tools, and is thoughtful about when and how to apply them to improve speed, insight, and quality of outcomes
