• Contribute to continuous improvement of credit risk strategies, tools, process improvements and efficiency

• Develop and enhance data-driven monitoring and reporting to support proactive risk management for SME portfolios as the business grows

• Understand how data flows through our systems and processes, and leverage this knowledge to identify business opportunities, improve decision-making, and optimize operations

• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Collaborate on various tasks within Credit Underwriting & Decision Analytics to support our continuous improvement journey

What we’re looking for

• Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret complex data and present findings clearly

• Working experience from using analytical tools such R, Python, SAS or SQL/Databricks

• A degree in a quantitative field (Economics, Finance, Statistics, Data Science or similar)

• Experience with fraud detection, prevention, and related controls within the SME loans is a strong plus

Nice to have:

Who you are

You are creative, curious, and have strong analytical skills. You enjoy using data to challenge and improve existing methods and are eager to drive business improvements. You have a talent for seeing how data flows through and impacts business processes, and you use this understanding to identify opportunities, solve problems, and create value. You thrive in a collaborative environment, working closely with colleagues from different backgrounds, and are comfortable taking initiative and responsibility in projects. You have a commercial mindset and are motivated by making a tangible impact on both risk management and business outcomes.

What we offer
