Description
At Liberis, our mission is to empower small and medium-sized businesses by removing finance as a friction to growth, delivering contextual, embedded financial solutions to support merchants at every stage of their business lifecycle.
The team
We are the Risk team responsible for managing the credit risk of Liberis’ portfolios, which include designing effective new strategies, managing the credit quality of our products across geographies, and providing specialist credit risk advice to the business.
The Risk team is based in London and covers Risk analytics, Decision Science, Underwriting and Collections. Our mission is to grow Liberis profitably to become the leading embedded business finance provider and we are now looking for a Senior Credit Risk Analyst to join us on this journey.
The role
You are someone that is excited by the prospect of a challenge, appreciate autonomy and the space to generate your own ideas and are passionate about finance that serves to support small businesses, not just turn a profit.
Reporting to the Risk Manager you will develop best in class credit risk strategies that reward our members and deliver value to Liberis. You will have the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects and workstreams that provide credit risk insights while ensuring we stay within the organisation’s risk appetite.
You should have experience in a similar analytical role in the credit risk environment where you have used statistical and analytical tools to drive innovative strategy changes. You should be able to derive insights from data and be able to present results in a concise way to relevant stakeholders.
