You will engage closely with senior executives both externally and internally to evaluate shifts in the financial ecosystem, assess their impact on Chase, and identify partnership opportunities that deliver meaningful value to Chase’s customers. You bring exceptional analytical skills, excel at building strong relationships, and have a deep passion for consumer financial services.
