Overview

We are seeking a Data Analyst with 12 years of experience to join our growing Credit Risk and Data team.

You’ll work closely with Credit Risk Product and Engineering teams to ensure data is accurate, accessible and effectively used to inform both strategic and operational decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Collect, clean and structure data from internal systems and third‑party sources.
• Build and maintain dashboards, reports and automated data pipelines for tracking credit and business performance.
• Analyse customer behaviour, portfolio trends and decision outcomes to identify risks and opportunities.
• Translate analytical findings into clear recommendations for Credit Risk and Product stakeholders.
• Support testing and monitoring of new credit policies, strategies and decisioning engines.
• Ensure data quality, consistency and compliance with governance standards.

Qualifications

• Experience working with data analysis or business intelligence in a start‑up environment.
• Proficiency in SQL; use of Python for analysis and automation is desirable but not mandatory.
• Experience with data visualisation tools (Lightdash, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or Google Data Studio).
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to explain findings clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Self‑motivated and proactive, with initiative to improve data quality, reporting processes and decision‑making.
• Excellent stakeholder interaction skills, collaborates across departments, builds relationships and translates data into a language that helps others make better decisions.
• Thrives in a fast‑paced, fast‑evolving environment rather than in big teams with rigid processes.

Company Overview

At Selina Finance our mission is to provide exceptional value with simple and flexible financial products. We’re achieving this by building a next‑generation digital lender targeting homeowners across the UK. More than £2tn of equity value is locked up in UK homes while homeowners still need to rely on high‑interest‑rate consumer loans, credit cards or overdrafts. We believe this is unfair and unnecessary. We offer a financing product unlike anything else out there – one that is as flexible as a current account, as affordable as a mortgage and as easy to apply for as a consumer loan. We are building an incredible team and culture of high performance, development, reward and recognition ready for the next phase of our adventure.

We have quite a few things to be proud of: 19 different nationalities across our London, Manchester and remote teams; Voted as one of the fastest‑growing businesses in the UK by Business Leader Growth 500 for 2025; Voted top 30 of Tempos 100 best start‑ups to work for.

Fit & Culture

Our values underpin how we work together as a high‑performing team driving our growth and success:

• Take Ownership – We act as owners, make decisions that benefit the company, solve problems instead of finding barriers, and move fast.
• Customer Obsessed – We put our customers at the heart of everything we do, listen to their needs and work tirelessly to provide the best products and experiences.
• Drive Change – We pioneer in our industry, challenge the status‑quo and constantly seek new and better ways of doing things.
• Empower Our Team – We believe collaboration and teamwork are the cornerstones of success and we set up our team for great achievements.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable. We also welcome and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented categories and provide feedback to any candidate we interview even if that feedback is speaking to another candidate being more suitable for the role.

Benefits & Compensation

What we offer: £45,000 base salary (dependent on experience), 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, 30 days work‑from‑anywhere allowance, bi‑annual discretionary bonus, volunteering allowance, growth shares aligning your rewards with our success, annual L&D budget, cycle‑to‑work scheme, 3% pension contribution, free access to mental health support via Spill, choice of benefits through our benefits platform, annual cycle allowance for Santander or Evans bikes.
