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.

With our Flex product we’re reinventing credit cards to give customers more visibility and control over their spending. Our portfolio is growing rapidly and we’re expanding our team to support our future growth ambitions.

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.

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.

  • Collaborate with people from engineering, marketing, product, risk and control to design and deliver new products and customer journeys
  • Lead the development and maintenance of the NPV models and affordability strategies that underpin the Flex underwriting decisions
  • Monthly monitoring and reporting on Flex originations performance to stakeholders up to executive level
  • Build, maintain and own the database tables and dashboards that provide insights and promote rapid, data-driven decisions.
  • Collaborate with the Decision Science team to maximise value from our internal and external data through cutting-edge ML models
  • Promote a culture of proactive, high quality analysis and ensure we have the right credit capabilities, infrastructure and talent in place to scale safely
