• Portfolio Analytics & Systemic Risk Identification • Conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis across the entire special assets portfolio to identify trends, patterns, and early warning indicators of credit deterioration • Develop and maintain analytical dashboards and reporting tools that track key portfolio metrics including default rates, loss severity, geographic concentrations, and product-level performance • Perform cohort analysis comparing loan vintage performance to identify underwriting quality shifts over time • Analyze correlation between origination characteristics

recommendations • Present analytical findings to the Special Assets Committee, Underwriting, and executive leadership • Vendor Performance Management & Quality Assurance • Monitor and evaluate default supporting vendor performance (onshore/offshore) in executing default monitoring, collateral tracking, and portfolio surveillance activities against established service level agreements (SLAs) and quality standards • Recommend optimization strategies based on performance data analysis to improve vendor effectiveness and efficiency • Review work product quality from vendor teams including property inspection reports, collateral valuation summaries, borrower contact documentation, and timeline tracking • Conduct data quality audits on vendor-supplied information to identify accuracy issues, missing data, reporting delays, or inconsistencies requiring remediation • Analyze vendor efficiency metrics including turnaround times, error rates, escalation frequency, and cost metrics to benchmark performance against expectations • Identify process gaps and training needs within offshore/liquidation operations and recommend specific procedural improvements, enhanced controls, or workflow modifications • Develop performance scorecards that objectively measure vendor contributions to portfolio outcomes including early detection rates, valuation accuracy, and documentation completeness • Collaborate with vendor team leadership to communicate performance findings, implement corrective action plans, and verify improvement outcomes • Recommend vendor management changes including scope adjustments, resource reallocation, contract modifications, or alternative vendor evaluation when performance gaps persist • Document vendor performance trends for senior management review and contract renewal decisions • Serve as quality control bridge between offshore operational teams and internal Special Assets leadership to ensure consistent standards • Underwriting Quality & Process Improvement Analysis • Conduct comprehensive post-mortem analysis on defaulted loans to reverse-engineer underwriting decisions and identify policy gaps or exceptions that contributed to loss • Evaluate whether defaults resulted from operational deficiencies, policy violations, exception approvals, documentation weaknesses, or external market factors • Collaborate with Underwriting leadership to translate analytical findings into specific policy recommendations, enhanced controls, or training needs • Assess effectiveness of risk mitigation structures (guarantees, reserves, cross-collateralization) in actual default scenarios • Document case studies of both successful and unsuccessful credit decisions to inform underwriting and operations training programs • Track and report on adherence to policy over time and correlation to portfolio performance • Identify emerging market risks or product vulnerabilities requiring policy adjustments • Loss Mitigation Program Effectiveness Analysis • Evaluate loss mitigation program performance by analyzing outcomes across different workout strategies including loan modifications, forbearance agreements, repayment plans, deed-in-lieu arrangements, and short sales • Compare recovery rates and loss severity across mitigation approaches to identify which strategies yield optimal outcomes under specific borrower and collateral profiles • Analyze time-to-resolution metrics for different loss mitigation pathways to assess efficiency and identify bottlenecks or process delays • Track and report on borrower re-default rates following various workout structures to measure program sustainability and effectiveness • Conduct cost-benefit analysis of loss mitigation alternatives versus foreclosure to quantify the economic value of workout programs • Assess consistency in loss mitigation decision-making by comparing similar files with different outcomes to identify subjective bias or policy interpretation gaps • Evaluate whether loss mitigation eligibility criteria are appropriately calibrated by analyzing borrower profiles that succeeded versus failed in workout programs • Recommend program enhancements based on empirical data including revised qualifying criteria, modified workout terms, or new resolution alternatives • Benchmark company loss mitigation performance against industry standards and peer lenders to identify competitive advantages or gaps • Quantify the financial impact of loss mitigation programs on portfolio-level recovery rates and investor returns • Valuation Analysis & Market Intelligence • Analyze valuation assessment quality and accuracy by comparing origination valuations to subsequent market performance and distressed sale outcomes • Evaluate valuation performance and identify systematic over-valuation or under-valuation trends • Research and report on local market dynamics affecting collateral values including new construction supply, absorption rates, price trends, and regulatory changes • Build and maintain databases of comparable sales, market trends, and construction cost benchmarks to support valuation reasonability assessments • Assess the accuracy of as-is (AIV) and as-repaired value (ARV) projections relative to actual market outcomes • Provide market intelligence reports to Underwriting and Portfolio Management teams • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Special Projects • Serve as an analytical resource to Special Assets management for resolution strategy evaluation when requested • Participate in
