Model monthly/daily interest accruals, processing fee (PF) yields, First Loss Default Guarantee (FLDG) provisions, collection costs, and Cost of Funds (COF) across diverse lender partners.
- Conduct scenario modelling (AOP vs. Actuals, MBR updates, Team Plans) to assess the impact of take-rate changes, volume mix shifts, and credit policy tightening.
2. Business Partnering & Decision Support
- Act as a co-pilot to Business Heads to evaluate new commercial constructs, lender tie-ups, and product feature launches.
- Analyze unit economics (Revenue per Disbursed/Booked Card, Net ROI, Take Rates, Risk-Adjusted Returns) at a product and lender level to guide business strategy.
- Analyze risk vs. return trade-offs (GCL vs. Net ROI) across partner lenders to optimize portfolio allocation.
3. Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
- Lead the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) creation, monthly business reviews (MBR), and quarterly rolling forecasts.
- Perform variance analysis (Actuals vs. AOP / MBR / Team Plan) for Disbursements, Revenue, Gross Margin, and Business EBITDA.
