The Director, Data Analytics & Insights is a senior-level, hands-on analytics professional responsible for transforming complex data into actionable business insights that drive operational performance, strategic decision-making, and client outcomes across Selene Finance. This individual will partner with business leaders, investors, clients, and executive stakeholders to analyze servicing and portfolio data, identify opportunities and risks, and provide recommendations that influence business strategy.

- Translate complex analytical findings into actionable business recommendations that support operational and strategic decision-making.
- Develop executive dashboards, reports, scorecards, presentations, and data visualizations for internal stakeholders, investors, clients, and parent company leadership.

- Partner with technology and data teams to ensure data integrity and improve reporting capabilities.
- Collaborate with business leaders to understand operational challenges, identify improvement opportunities, and develop data-driven solutions.

- Support analytical initiatives across servicing operations and respond to ad hoc requests from executives, clients, investors, and business partners.
- Manage multiple analytics projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines and communicating progress to stakeholders.
