Head of Credit & Commercial Strategy

The role

Play a critical role in the newly formed Credit & Commercial Strategy team by bringing together Pricing, Decisioning & AI/ML Credit Modelling and leveraging a world‑class, data‑led Credit approach to deliver exceptional outcomes for SMEs and partners. Working between the Credit craft and Platform Families, this is a keystone role to drive Liberis’ growth.

Responsibilities

Own credit and commercial strategy within your platform family: translating the GM’s commercial priorities into clear credit and commercial questions; bring Liberis' credit and commercial frameworks (e.g. return hurdles, pricing models, segmentation) into family‑level decisions, and flag where family priorities require new thinking or central support; subject matter expert able to clearly explain complex concepts + educate the team to build literacy.

Own commercial and credit initiatives and elements end‑to‑end: for example, with an “Auto‑Flex” proposition, how should funded amounts and initial prices be set? How do limits and prices evolve dynamically as repayment data comes in? In a tactical performance push, identify ways to hit and exceed performance targets.

Collaborate across the cross‑functional family – product, engineering, underwriting, commercial – to ensure credit and commercial strategy is a first‑class input into roadmap and go‑to‑market decisions, not a late‑stage constraint.

Commission and co‑build new models and decisioning approaches with the Credit and Commercial Strategy craft, translating family‑specific needs into model requirements and validating outputs in context.

Qualifications

• Strong grounding in unit economics, credit, pricing and commercial modelling – enough to apply Liberis' frameworks to new product and partner contexts and know the right questions to ask of central model‑builders.
• Comfortable operating in a matrix: reporting into a GM and aligned to a family's priorities, while working closely with the Credit and Commercial Strategy craft.
• Cross‑functional collaborator – able to work across product, engineering, risk, and commercial within the family and bring those perspectives together around a coherent credit and commercial approach.
• At ease with ambiguity and new product design – many of the problems this role tackles won't have existing playbooks, and you’ll need to build the approach from first principles.
• Clear communicator – able to translate complex credit and commercial concepts into practical guidance for product teams, commercial leads, and GMs who aren't credit specialists.
