Role Overview
As a Risk Manager Lead, with the support of a Senior Risk Manager, you will be responsible for leading and shaping the development of credit scoring capability in the team. Thus, enabling the delivery of cutting-edge analytical tools that optimise decisions for all our Retail Lending portfolios, across all aspects of the credit lifecycle (Application, Behavioural and Collections/Recoveries), as well as Affordability solutions that ensure responsible lending and compliance with regulation.
