JOB TITLE: Senior Credit Analyst - Unsecured Lending (Consumer Credit)
SALARY
£44,901 - £49,890
LOCATION(S)
Newport, Halifax, Chester
HOURS
Full-time, 35 hours per week
WORKING PATTERN
Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.
What you will be doing?
In this role, you'll use data, insight and analytical thinking to support responsible lending and continuously enhance Consumer Credit strategies. You'll work confidently with complex datasets, using tools such as SAS and Excel within a robust control environment to explore performance, identify trends and uncover risks or optimisation opportunities across unsecured lending portfolios.
You'll have responsibility for overseeing and developing credit strategies, ensuring they remain aligned to risk appetite, regulatory expectations and positive customer outcomes. This will involve monitoring portfolio performance, leading deep dive analysis and translating findings into clear, practical recommendations that balance risk, affordability, reward and commercial objectives.
You'll regularly produce trusted, high-quality reporting and insight to support senior decision-making, and you'll work collaboratively with colleagues across Credit Risk, Product and Risk Infrastructure to safely deliver change and support growth. Sharing insights clearly will be key, whether you're presenting proposals to senior stakeholders or championing continuous improvement, automation and more effective ways of working.
