Credit4 is a fast-growing lender helping UK SMEs access the flexible working capital they need to grow. Since 2013, we’ve lent tens of millions of pounds using a human-led, relationship-driven approach - there are no algorithms in sight. We are more fin than tech, if you will.

We’re now looking for a bright, commercially minded Credit Analyst to join our office-based team in Monument (City of London).

This is a great opportunity for an outstanding graduate who wants to build a career in commercial finance, credit and lending - learning from an experienced team and getting exposure to real UK businesses from day one.

🔑 What You’ll Do:

  • Sit at the intersection of our Sales and Underwriting teams, helping prepare opportunities before they progress to sales calls and full credit assessment
  • Carry out initial pre-screening and eligibility checks on prospective borrowers
  • Analyse financial accounts, bank statements and other financial information to understand business performance and affordability
  • Combine quantitative analysis with qualitative assessment to build a clear picture of each business
  • Identify key trends, risks and areas that need further investigation
  • Prepare concise analysis and insights for the Sales team ahead of conversations with prospective borrowers
  • Work closely with Sales and Underwriting to help applications move efficiently through the lending process
  • Develop your understanding of SME credit, financial analysis and commercial lending from the ground up

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
