What You’ll Do

• Leverage market insights and publicly available data on SME finance to help validate our modelling and decisions.

• A strong understanding of the credit ecosystem, including risk assessment and the economics of different credit products.
• Strong technical skills: SQL experience working with large datasets and building data pipelines

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management with a proven track record to influence across disciplines, and able to protect focus to maximise impact.
