At Fannie Mae, futures are made. The inspiring work we do makes an affordable home a reality and a difference in the lives of Americans. Every day offers compelling opportunities to impact the future of the housing industry while being part of an inclusive team thriving in an energizing, flexible environment.

Job Description

The mission of the Collateral Strategy & Innovation Team at Fannie Mae is to create and accelerate appraisal and valuation process improvements. This is accomplished by introducing new technologies, data, and concepts to enhance Fannie Maes capabilities to manage collateral risk. One of these concepts is Geographic Information Systems (GIS) but even more broadly Geographic Data Science (GDS). The technologies and analytical techniques (spatial analysis and modeling) are generally under-utilized in the mortgage finance industry even though much of the collateral risk is based on a misunderstanding of locational influences. Fannie Mae is looking to change that.

As a valued colleague, you will assist with assessing and identifying potential risks that may threaten Fannie Maes reputation, safety, security, and/or financial success, as well as participate with the team in communicating and collaborating with key stakeholders across the enterprise, and understanding business objectives.
