• Use curve outputs to support customer segmentation, variance analysis, and performance tracking.
• Compare actual performance against expected curve values and identify drivers of deviations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including Accounting, Finance, Risk, and Operations—to ensure alignment on metrics, assumptions, and reporting requirements.
• Assist in data quality checks and validation to ensure accuracy of reporting and curve calculations.
