🔍 About the Role
We're looking for a Data Science Intern to join our Credit Risk team and help us use data and insight to make better decisions for our customers and our business.
Over 13 months, you'll gain exposure to Credit Risk Analytics, Risk Reporting, Model Validation and Credit Risk Modelling, working alongside experienced colleagues who will support your learning and development.
