- Build and maintain a portfolio of statistical forecasting models segmented by account characteristics to support Treasury's funding schedule
- Improve forecast accuracy across cash flow directions, prioritizing the areas where funding decisions are most sensitive
- Bring financial planning signals such as cancellations, revenue, and seasonality into the models as covariates, and account for the effect of macro shocks and product changes on user behavior
- Preserve forecast accuracy when Treasury reallocates volume across accounts
- Run diagnostics after each production cycle to explain what drove a miss, where the forecast fell short, and what fixes are planned
- Support the analysis behind manual adjustments to the forecasts
- Serve as the embedded data science partner for Treasury, translating model behavior into terms partners can act on and staying engaged on funding decisions week to week
