With our Flex product we're reinventing credit cards to give customers more visibility and control over their spending. With our Flex product, we're reinventing credit cards to give customers more visibility and control over their spending. Flex portfolio management is currently in its infancy-meaning this role is a true "zero-to-one" blank canvas.

You will lead an initial team of 3 credit analysts (with scope to grow the team over time) to unlock massive P&L and customer engagement potential on a rapidly growing portfolio.

Join a team where your ideas can rapidly transform into reality, leveraging our cutting-edge technology and agile ways of working. Our credit analysts and managers are fully embedded into a product squad alongside Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, Marketers, Customer Researchers, Data Scientists etc. This enables us to solve customer problems in a fast paced and innovative way. Your day-to-day: Own Portfolio Monitoring & Forecasting: Build and oversee robust performance frameworks to monitor and forecast both risk and revenue metrics, ensuring our rapidly growing portfolio scales sustainably. Drive Contractual Pricing Strategies: Architect and optimise an ongoing risk-based pricing program that balances commercial viability and fair customer outcomes. Fuel Engagement & Retention Loops: Design and deploy sophisticated credit strategies for lifecycle events, including product upgrades, engagement incentives, and balance transfer propositions that deepen customer loyalty.

Lead and Nurture Talent: Manage, coach, and scale a high-performing team of 3 credit analysts, fostering a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and strong commercial focus. Cross-Functional Squad Collaboration: Act as the embedded credit risk expert within a multi-disciplinary squad, working side-by-side with Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Customer Research, and Risk & Control. Cross-functional Leadership: Build deep collaborative ties with wider credit functions and manage relationships with 2nd Line Credit Risk, Legal, and Compliance, while translating complex data into clear narratives for executive-level stakeholders. How we work: Our main tech hub is in London, but our data teams are based all over the UK - from Brighton to the Western Isles. We love meeting in person, but there's no pressure to come into the office, even if you're nearby. You'll do your best work where you feel most comfortable. We value flexibility, connection, and wellbeing. You'll have the freedom to work in a way that fits your life, whether that's school drop-offs, avoiding rush hour, or making time for what matt
