Let us tell a bit about the opportunity
We have a new opportunity for a Credit Risk Analyst to join our Portfolio Management team; where you will analyse and interpret technically complex data in order to recommend appropriate solutions to the business.
This is an integral role to the Motor business line so that clear and deliverable credit decisioning strategies can be developed, that help build growth in the balance sheet on commercially acceptable terms, whilst supporting business line objectives.
As a Credit Risk Analyst you will interpret and utilise modelling concepts, modelled outputs and independent sources of benchmarking data in order to influence risk appetite and positively impact customer outcomes through delivery of a model driven automation agenda. This will include credit decisioning across the customer lifecycle (onboarding credit decisions, in-life credit stewardship, and early/late stage credit monitoring and management) in addition to pricing strategies.

* Extracting, manipulating, and analysing complex data sets using reporting tools in order to identify patterns and anomalies, uncover correlations, derive meaningful and actionable insights, and generate reports and dashboards to support data-driven decision-making that will add value across multiple business areas.
What do we expect from you?
