About the team:
Our Borrowing (lending) business is growing rapidly across both existing products and the planned launch of new initiatives. We aim to create a genuine feel-good factor when it comes to personal credit, and are looking for driven, analytical and creative individuals to help us achieve this goal.
We’re expanding our team to support our future growth ambitions. We’re looking for a Staff Credit Risk Analyst to help drive the credit and growth strategy across Borrowing. This will be the most senior individual contributor role within Borrowing. You will initially focus on our Flex product, where we’re reinventing credit cards to give customers more visibility and control over their spending. Over time your remit will expand to cover other areas of Borrowing.
Our credit teams are part of our Data Discipline which drives a strong culture of data-driven decision making across the whole company. We’re great believers in powerful, real-time analytics and empowerment of the wider business. All our data lives in one place and is super easy to use. 90% of day-to-day data-driven decisions are covered by self-serve analytics through Looker which gives analysts the head space to focus on more impactful business questions and analyses.
Join a team where your ideas can rapidly transform into reality, leveraging our cutting-edge technology and agile ways of working. Our credit analysts and managers are fully embedded into a product squad alongside Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, Marketers, Customer Researchers, Data Scientists etc. This enables us to solve customer problems in a fast paced and innovative way.
How you’ll contribute:
- Lead on strategically important problems, applying judgement in areas of organisational or technical complexity.
- Act as a role model within Data, contributing to discipline-level strategy and sponsoring data-wide projects
- Share expertise generously, mentoring colleagues to build their skills and understanding, while contributing to the growth and development of the team
- Work closely with Flex squad leadership to develop and execute an ambitious growth strategy for Flex
- Lead and coach others to develop credit and pricing strategies for our growing range of Flex products and distribution channels
- Collaborate with people from engineering, marketing, product, risk and control to design and deliver new products, features and customer journeys
- Collaborate with the machine learning team to maximise value from our internal and external data through cutting-edge ML models
- Promote a culture of proactive, high quality analysis and provide thought leadership to drive forward our vision of building a best in class credit function
