Let us tell you a bit about the opportunity 

This is a great opportunity to join Business Finance as a Credit Risk Analyst, working at the heart of data, analytics and decision‑making. As a front‑line role within the Financial Risk team, you’ll gain exposure across a broad range of credit risk activities, including portfolio analysis, credit policy, models and auto‑decisioning strategies. 

You’ll play a key role in applying analytical rigour to both day‑to‑day questions and wider strategic challenges — assessing risk, identifying trends and uncovering opportunities to support sustainable business growth. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys problem‑solving, working with data, and turning insight into clear, meaningful recommendations that influence real outcomes. 

What will your day look like? 

• Produce meaningful insights, dashboards and analysis for committees and stakeholders 
• Analyse credit risk profiles across Business Finance, identifying trends in key credit metrics 
• Use data to enhance and challenge auto‑decisioning strategies and lending criteria 
• Support the development and maintenance of credit application models 
• Deliver actionable insights across customer, broker, commercial performance and credit risk themes 
• Support reviews of pricing and return on capital to optimise risk and reward 
• Identify gaps in analytics and help prioritise development to strengthen capability across the team 

What do we expect from you? 

• Strong data analysis and statistical capability using tools such as SAS, Python, R, Tableau or Power BI 
• Ability to extract insight from complex data and translate it into clear, actionable recommendations 
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to present insights to technical and non‑technical audiences 
• Curiosity and interest in understanding business and credit models 
• Familiarity with external data sets and comfort using AI solutions to drive efficiency 
• Some experience in credit risk or a regulated financial services environment is an advantage 

What can you expect from us? 

• A hybrid working policy, 2 days per week onsite in one of our offices 
• A friendly and flexible culture, the same as how we work with our customers 
• A growing organisation that means there’s lots of opportunities to progress 
• A drive for continuous improvement, which you will be empowered to get behind from day one 
• And of course, you will be rewarded competitively, with a good range of core benefits and bonus potential 

Still curious? 

Join us and we’ll make the same promises to you as a colleague as we do to each of our customers. We’re committed to building a working environment that values respect, diversity and compassion. We welcome people regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, race, faith or belief, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and whether you’re pregnant or on family leave.
