We are looking for an analytical and curious person who enjoys working with data and solving complex problems. You work methodically, question assumptions and connect your findings to their implications for the business.

You collaborate effectively with colleagues across different teams and explain analysis results and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

We believe that you have:

• A degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering or a related field.
• Up to 3 years of experience in credit risk analysis or a related role within financial services. We also welcome applications from recent graduates.
