About the job and mission of the role
You will be part of our Decision Modelling team and, as a coordinator, you will play a central role in leading the team, ensuring the execution and maintenance of the modeling project portfolio. You will be responsible for delivering solutions, evolving process maturity, governing assets, and developing talent, prioritizing the quality, consistency, and relevance of the delivered models and acting as a bridge between business areas and the technical team.
In your day-to-day, you will:
Lead a team of data scientists in the conception, development, validation, and monitoring of predictive and optimizer models for credit and collections (granting scores, recovery scores, limit optimization, channel propensity, offer personalization, estimated income and revenue estimators).
Interact with business, technology, and risk management areas to understand demands, prioritize projects, and present results clearly and objectively.
Define and evolve the team's technical standard: experimental design, feature engineering, algorithm selection and comparison, calibration, explainability, documentation, and versioning.
Ensure continuous monitoring of models in production, identifying performance degradation and proposing corrective actions.
Ensure the lifecycle of models in production: detection of degradation and drift, retraining, governance, and contribution to MLOps pipelines.
Incorporate, with criteria, the state of the art in the field — contemporary statistical methods, Deep Learning, Generative AI, and Foundation Models — when this generates a measurable gain in predictive power, stability, or operational efficiency.
Contribute to the evolution of the feature store, exploring large volumes of data and unstructured sources, including vector representations (embeddings).
Prioritize the portfolio alongside business, technology, and risk management, and present technical evidence to directorate leadership.
Stay updated with the main trends in the area, actively contributing new techniques, methodologies, and tools that drive the evolution of data science in the team.
Develop the team: mentoring and promoting the Inter culture (Customer Focus, Winning Mindset, Driven by Innovation, Operational Excellence, and One Team).

Mastery of Python and the data science ecosystem (scikit-learn, pandas, numpy, and similar).
Mastery of SQL and experience with large volumes of data.
Ability to communicate technical results to non-technical audiences, with clarity and precision.
Intermediate or advanced English for technical literature and interaction with suppliers.
Desirable:
Experience in the financial sector, especially in digital banks or fintechs.
Experience in credit risk models (granting or collections) and/or Internal Ratings-Based for PDD calculation (IFRS 9 / CMN 4966).
Experience with unstructured data, embeddings, LLMs, or Foundation Models applied to business problems.
