ABOUT US

We are The Very Group and we’re here to help families get more out of life. We know that our customers work hard for their families and have a lot to balance in their busy lives. That’s why we combine amazing brands and products with flexible payment options on Very.co.uk to help them say yes to the things they love. We’re just as passionate about helping our people get more out of life too; building careers with real growth, a sense of purpose, belonging and wellbeing.

ABOUT YOU

Our underlying requirement is to find the right candidate, so we’re keen to hear from you even if you don’t think you tick all of these boxes:

• Good understanding of traditional statistical methodologies (linear and logistic regressions and decision trees);
• Understanding and experience of using Credit Bureau data
• Experience in automation of SAS, SQL, Python or R processes;
• Knowledge of risk modelling / risk strategies;
• Experience in financial services / banking;

We are looking for people with good communication skills, with the desire and ability to work in a fast-paced environment, ambitious and keen to learn.
There is very little hierarchy here and if you were to join us, you would be expected to have a voice and the confidence to use it. The teams here are passionate, innovative and committed. We expect you to be same.

As a Credit Risk Analyst you will be responsible for developing, deploying and monitoring credit risk models (application, behaviour, collection and fraud) as well as carrying out analysis to pinpoint model usages and risks.
You’ll work on multiple priorities within a fast paced, dynamic environment. You’ll need to be able to manage the expectations of stakeholders alongside prioritising your workload. You will play your part to meet the broader needs of the business and deliver a world class, personalised experience for our customer.
Critical decisions are made here every day and acted upon immediately – giving you every chance to make a real impact, make decisions and quickly see the results.
