About us:
At Barclays, our aim is to build the leading Decision Science team in the industry. We’ve brought together risk specialists from across our business to create a centre of excellence for our UK Retail Banking operation. The team covers everything from developing decision science models and analytics, through delivering systems, data and MI, to Six Sigma process re-engineering and governance. We’re looking for people who share their high level of expertise and ambition. If you want to be at the forefront of Decision Science, part of a group using advanced techniques to grow our portfolios in size and profitability, you should join us now.
About the challenge:
From the start you’ll develop predictive models, and their associated documentation, then support the implementation and use in the UK Retail Bank. Your models will support business decisions at all points of the credit cycle, including prospect targeting and acquisition, exposure management, and ongoing customer management. Leading the formulation and provision of analysis, you’ll identify opportunities to improve both the strategy, scorecards and processes in Decision Science in order to maximize value. You’ll also provide tactical advanced data analysis to support Portfolio Management on specific risk issues. We’ll expect you to generate the utmost value from improved decisions, work to continuously improve modelling techniques and engage key stakeholders across the bank so that you meet their needs and help drive the business forward.
About you:
Practical end-to-end project management experience should mean you’re ready for this high profile leadership role. Passionate about data analysis and the business benefits it can bring, you should be skilled at solving complex business problems in innovative and practical ways and thoroughly understand the credit cycle, business process and strategies. Ideally, you will have a degree in statistics, mathematics, operations research or related discipline. You certainly must possess significant relevant experience. Proficiency in data analysis and predictive modelling, using a standard package such as SAS or SPSS, is essential. You also need to be able to think quickly and present complex analytical concepts to all levels of the business. Strategic skills and the ability to master the whole portfolio of our activities, as well as important details, are vital. We’ll expect you to recognise the impact and opportunities of activities across the whole of our organisation.
