Credit Risk Insight Analyst

Job Description

Working as a Credit Risk Insight Analyst, you will create credit risk insight across our new and existing consumer base. You’ll be diving into credit risk data and creating easy to understand, value-adding insight that will be at the heart of how we enhance our credit risk strategies. This will entail the identification of emerging trends, investigating the reasons behind those trends and revealing potential areas for improvement that will keep us steps ahead of the game.

The successful candidate will be highly analytical, have a passion for problem-solving and be able to fit into a fast-moving, innovative, and high-profile environment. Prior consumer lending experience (1+ years) in a credit risk function is a must. You’ll be comfortable with analytical tasks, be a strong coder to extract data using SQL, and also be an Excel analysis-whizz. You’ll need experience utilising credit risk scorecards and strategies.

Who we are

The UK’s fastest broadband network. The nation’s best-loved mobile brand. And, one of the UK's biggest companies too. We put our customers first, making life simpler, smoother, and more joyful. With big ambitions and a brilliant team, we’re building a more connected future for everyone.

Our ways of working

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days each month connecting in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office, it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days - anywhere meaningful collaboration happens. What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together, it really counts.
