Are you a senior credit risk professional with a passion for balancing commercial growth and risk management?
Do you thrive in a leadership role where your decisions directly influence portfolio performance, business strategy, and customer outcomes?
At MotoNovo Finance, we're looking for a Dealer Funding Credit Manager to lead our first-line Dealer Funding Credit team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our wholesale lending portfolio.
This is more than a credit management position. You'll be a trusted advisor to senior leaders, a subject matter expert in Dealer Funding, and a key partner to our Distribution and Risk teams as we continue to grow our portfolio responsibly. You'll lead a team of credit specialists, oversee lending decisions, influence risk appetite, and provide strategic insight to senior forums across the business.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and developing a high-performing team responsible for new lending decisions, annual reviews, and ongoing portfolio monitoring.
- Holding a senior lending mandate and providing guidance on complex or high-value credit decisions.
- Producing and presenting portfolio insight and risk reporting to senior stakeholders, including SLT forums.
- Acting as the Dealer Funding product expert, helping shape future product development and risk strategy.
- Partnering closely with Distribution to support growth opportunities while maintaining a strong risk culture.
- Working alongside second-line risk teams to ensure robust governance, controls, and risk management frameworks.
