The analyst will be responsible for owning and driving the collections and recoveries roadmap for the market, quantifying the impact of new collections and recovery initiatives, and monitoring downstream performance., You will own the full Canadian post-delinquency lifecycle: digital and outbound collections, third-party agency placement, and post-charge-off recoveries. * Collections channel strategy.

Take collections and recoveries initiatives from hypothesis to launch to measured impact: sizing the opportunity up front, developing A/B experiment frameworks, and proving the result afterwards. * Regulatory partnership. Work with Product, Legal and Compliance so that every treatment you design holds up against Canada's distinctive regulatory landscape: province-by-province collection-agency and consumer protection legislation, Quebec's separate civil-law regime and consumer credit rules, and federal and provincial privacy laws. * Cross-market leverage. Partner with collections and recoveries teams across other geographies, particularly the US, to drive cross-market leverage. ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [JavaScript?
