About the role

As a Senior Credit Risk Analyst working on model review you will be helping us ensure that our models are robust and accurate, making best use of the increasing amount of data available to make more informed credit lending decisions for our customers and Financial Services business, ultimately creating value for The Very Group.

Reporting to the Head of Analytical and Scoring Model Review, you will work with the business to review all aspects of key credit risk model developments. Help us build models that will make the right decisions at the right times. Whether it’s reviewing the development sample, characteristic analysis or modelling methodology, you’ll be expected to provide insight and recommendations, communicating these in a compelling, impactful way to senior stakeholders.

You’ll work on multiple priorities within a fast paced, dynamic environment. You’ll need to be able to manage the expectations of stakeholders alongside prioritising your workload. You will also play your part to meet the broader needs of the business and deliver a world class, personalised experience for our customer.

You’ll be surrounded by the best talent across Financial Services and the wider group – working collaboratively to fulfil the ambitions of the business and the Credit Risk team.

Critical decisions are made here every day and acted upon immediately – giving you every chance to make a real impact, make decisions and quickly see the results.

About you

You’re curious, analytical and logical by nature with a keen eye for detail. You have a degree in a numerate discipline, are highly proficient with SQL or SAS with advanced Microsoft Excel skills too. Experience of credit model development is essential.

We’re also interested in your softer skills - your ability to coach and develop other analysts, work with challenging stakeholders along with the ability to solve complex problems and relay solutions in a simple, clear and concise way.

Working at pace with competing and changing priorities doesn’t faze you - you thrive in that type of environment, you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo.

Customer outcome focussed and commercially aware with the ability to present your findings into actionable business recommendations, you’re comfortable in dealing with stakeholders at all levels.

There is very little hierarchy here and if you were to join us, you would be expected to have a voice and the confidence to use it.

The teams here are passionate, innovative and committed. We expect you to be the same.

  • Inclusive culture and environment, check out our Glassdoor reviews
  • £1,000 flexible benefits allowance to suit your needs
  • 30 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Udemy learning access
  • Bonus potential (performance and business-related)
