This is that rare position offering the opportunity to express both analytical and creative talents while deepening understanding of all facets of banking operations, from the largest card issuers to the smallest community credit union.

What You'll Bring:

• Experience in retail financial services or credit card lending.

• Hands-on experience crafting business strategy, synthesizing market intelligence, and performing financial analysis.

This role is also responsible for the ongoing management of key initiatives arising from or related to strategic objectives.
• Complementing the three-year plan and strategic initiatives, this role helps to further secure our position as an industry thought leader by partnering on the identification and creation of analytically-derived original market insights. Also in the analytical realm, this position plays a key role in the annual, monthly, and weekly financial forecasting practices, applying an understanding of the customer business cycle, TU products, and financial analysis. To this end, candidates should be at ease working with large data sets and desktop analytical tools.
• Frequently speaking on behalf of the team in forums including senior internal and customer leaders, the senior director will be comfortable engaging a variety of audiences and demonstrate refined decision-making. Finely tuned interpersonal skills and a high degree of self-awareness will prove essential in navigating initiatives across a complex organization, and in garnering support for and enlistment in initiatives.
• The senior director must possess a track record of drive, collaboration, and accomplishment in similar or adjacent functions. Comfort leading multiple and at times competing initiatives, communicating effectively across stakeholders and management, and creating compelling and high-quality written content is essential for success.

This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week.
