Wholesale Credit Underwriter

Are you a credit professional who enjoys balancing commercial opportunity with sound risk management? Do you thrive on analysing financial information, building trusted relationships and making lending decisions that support business growth?

At MotoNovo Finance, we're looking for a Wholesale Credit Underwriter to join our growing Dealer Funding team and play a key role in supporting our wholesale lending portfolio.

This is more than an underwriting role. You'll partner closely with colleagues across Distribution, Operations and Risk, helping to assess new lending opportunities, manage existing dealer relationships and monitor portfolio performance. You'll have real influence over credit decisions, contribute to a strong risk culture and help us grow responsibly in a competitive market.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Assessing new and existing dealer funding applications and making balanced, evidence-based lending recommendations.
  • Analysing financial statements, trading performance, security and wider market information to support credit decisions.
  • Completing annual credit reviews and identifying changes in dealer risk profiles.
  • Monitoring existing facilities, highlighting emerging risks and supporting appropriate mitigation activity.
  • Working closely with Distribution colleagues to support new business opportunities and renewal activity.
  • Producing portfolio insight and management information, identifying trends, risks and opportunities.
  • Maintaining accurate credit documentation and ensuring decisions are clearly evidenced and compliant with policy requirements.
  • Supporting the management of higher-risk facilities and contributing to a strong risk and control environment.

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.
