My Client is a well known global (yet not too corporate) retail and institutional credit business. Circa 500,000 single data points per month.

This role is with an exciting business in the consumer lending space. They have grown significantly over the past few years and are looking to add a motivated and experienced individual to lead their growing data science function. This role offers the chance to work end-to-end across a range of credit models in the business and take on a challenging role which will give you excellent exposure and experience in the credit modelling space.

There is significant scope within the role to shape and build the data environment requirements. There are very limited restrictions on tools or resources to drive the data function forward.

• Asses and build new customer models outside of the credit modelling area.
• Monitor existing underwriting models and credit scorecards which are in production and regularly report on their impact to performance of the credit book.

This is a role for techies, those who are motivated by the sharp end of technology and the possibility of making serious money doing something you are passionate about.

The culture of the firm is startup esc with a flat team structure and a great group of guys who all enjoy themselves.
