• Develop and test strategies: Design and evaluate credit and pricing policies that help us fund more businesses while managing risk and supporting profitable growth.

• Monitor performance: Own and improve monitoring of decisioning rules, model performance and portfolio outcomes, including as new products and partners launch. Investigate changes and recommend action.

• Make better use of data: explore new and existing data sources; work with predictive models to improve lending decisions, propose features with our Machine Learning team, and contribute to model validation and governance.
• Turn analysis into action: Build clear proposals, explain assumptions and trade-offs, and present recommendations to senior risk and business leaders.

• Strong SQL and Excel skills, with the ability to investigate data, check its reliability and turn findings into practical recommendations.
• Experience in one or more relevant areas, such as lending risk management, credit decisioning, acquisition strategy, pricing, commercial analytics or applied data science.
• Sound judgement when weighing commercial opportunities against potential risks, with a willingness to challenge assumptions.
• The ability to explain complex findings clearly and adapt your communication to different audiences.
• A proactive, autonomous approach, with attention to detail and the confidence to ask for support when needed.
• An appetite to understand how machine learning models are developed.
