Credit Risk Senior Manager - UK

4most Leeds, United Kingdom Apply now Posted 13 days ago Permanent Competitive

Working at 4most

We are not your typical consultancy firm; our purpose is to redefine consulting by enabling all our people to flourish and excel. We have over 250 consultants working in credit risk, data, market risk, life insurance and general insurance, across multiple sites - London, Leeds, Edinburgh, Dublin, Amsterdam, Dubai and Bengaluru. We value every individual's contribution to the success of the company with colleagues owning a significant share of the business, and we have ambitious plans to grow even further.

As experts in our field, we are passionate about what we do and embrace diversity; we've created a fun and innovative environment where technical minds flourish. Individual success is not measured by the size of your team or the hours you work, it's the unique value you bring to the community. We want our people to think differently and challenge the status quo.

Our people are our biggest asset, having been voted the Best Company to work for at the 2023 Credit Strategy Awards, Women in Credit Employer of the Year for 2023 and Best Management Consultancy Firm MEA Finance UAE 2022, our awards speak for themselves. We reward teamwork and believe value should be shared with all who contribute.

We are passionate about what we do and making a difference, so we're taking bold steps to reduce emissions and be carbon neutral (including scope 1, 2 & 3) by 2025. As an aspiring B-Corp we want to work with people and clients who share our values.
