Business Manager, Credit Line Increase Program

The impact you'll make

For a lot of our customers, getting their Mission Lane credit card is the first step toward building their credit. But what comes next is where the real progress happens: earning a higher credit line or a better rate, or qualifying for a second card.

As Business Manager, you own the program that decides these outcomes for existing customers. Your job is figuring out where that program needs to be a year from now, whether that means questioning if the current criteria still hold up, or finding room to approve more people while catching risk earlier. Nail that, and the program keeps getting better at finding the people ready for that next step.

Mission Lane is still young, but we've already built a solid foundation and are experiencing steady growth. There's never been a better time to help shape how we get this right.

As Business Manager, CLIP, you will

• Use AI-driven tools to speed up and sharpen your analysis
• Adjust our approach as customer behavior and the market change
• Turn financial data into clear recommendations that grow the business while managing risk responsibly
• Run small tests in market, then use what you learn to decide where we invest next
• Guide and mentor analysts working alongside you on the program
• Develop actionable strategies based on data-driven insights and model the expected financial impacts to improve our underwriting & pricing strategies while ensuring customer success
• Design and enhance the customer lifetime value (LTV) model to drive business growth
• Present and communicate clear recommendations to senior leadership
• Enable long-term growth by pushing forward our testing agenda to build insights into consumer behavior and invest in future growth
• Collaborate with cross functional teams across product, data science, and engineering to bring strategies to market

You'll thrive in this role if

• You understand the whole card business system, from acquisition to risk to engagement, and you can trace how a change in one part ripples through the rest.
• You're curious enough to dig into the reasoning behind a strategy, down to the assumptions it's built on, so you understand it at an elemental level.
• You're comfortable defining the problem yourself when nobody's handed you one, and thinking in terms of the next year, not just the next task.
• You take ownership of your work end to end, catching your own mistakes before they compound.
• You can explain a business problem clearly enough that someone outside your immediate team could follow your thinking.

Minimum qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in a highly analytical role

• Experience guiding or mentoring other analysts
