Credit Manager
Credit managers help businesses lend money safely. They decide who can borrow money and how much, and they make sure the money gets paid back. This helps businesses grow without losing cash they need.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
