Job Details

what is CRED?

CRED is an exclusive community for india’s most trustworthy and creditworthy individuals, where the members are rewarded for good financial behavior.

CRED was born out of a need to bring back the focus on a long lost virtue, one of trust, the idea being to create a community centered around this virtue. a community that constantly strives to become more virtuous in this regard till they finally scale their behavior to create a utopia where being trustworthy is the norm and not the exception. to build a community like this requires a community of its own; a community special in its own way, working towards making this vision come true.

analyse user-level trends in usage, engagement, and monetization within specific lobs to inform a broader understanding of customer value; enable central teams to shape long-term ltv strategies across the ecosystem
financial metrics tracking & automation: build dashboards and models (including using AI tools to enhance productivity - like automating workflows) to track business kpis and proactively surface trends and anomalies, support monthly and quarterly business reviews by synthesising key financial and operational metrics
