About The Position

GreenSky, LLC, headquartered in Atlanta, is a leading technology company Powering Commerce at the Point of Sale® for a growing ecosystem of merchants, consumers, and banks. GreenSky’s highly scalable, proprietary and patented technology platform enables merchants to offer frictionless promotional payment options to consumers, driving increased sales volume and accelerated cash flow. The GreenSky® Program is operated on behalf of, and financing is offered and made by, federally insured, federal or state chartered financial institutions, which leverage GreenSky’s technology to offer loans to primarily super-prime and prime consumers nationwide. Since GreenSky's inception, nearly 6 million consumers have financed more than $50 billion of commerce using GreenSky’s real time “apply and buy” technology. GreenSky seeks a seasoned credit risk professional to serve as the primary owner of near-prime and second-look credit strategy for its Home Improvement lending platform. This role spans strategy design through execution and sits at the center of unit economics, underwriting, servicing, and capital markets with direct responsibility for profitability and disciplined growth. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who wants to run a complex credit program end-to-end. The individual will define and maintain loan-level valuation frameworks, monitor early performance signals, design and execute test-and-learn strategies, and directly implement credit policies within GreenSky’s decisioning infrastructure. Success in this role requires comfort operating with white space, making judgment calls, continuously refining strategy as performance emerges, and working cross-functionally with others in the enterprise to execute. The role will function as the primary owner for near-prime credit economics, operating independently while collaborating closely with senior leaders across Credit, Product, Servicing, and Capital Markets. Over time, the role may expand to include team leadership as the program matures.
