Strategy Ownership & Governance

• Develop business strategies that will drive growth, profitability, and competitive advantage for Wells Fargo 

Performance Monitoring & Optimization

• Execute ongoing optimization (e.g. cutoff calibration, segmentation refinement, test/control) to remain within expected performance bounds and risk appetite.
• Define “exit points” and remediation actions (e.g. pausing or adjusting prescreen selection strategy) when performance deviates from expectations.

Model / Score Integration

• Partner with Risk Modeling to implement and maintain modularized score cutoffs and align prescreen decisioning with broader underwriting framework.

• Work closely with cross functional team (Tech, Product, Risk, Operations) to drive impact on a given product, problem, or initiative 

Risk & Control Responsibilities

• Ensure strategies adhere to applicable legal/regulatory requirements and internal policies (e.g. prescreen and solicitation requirements, model governance, fair lending considerations, and documentation standards).
