About the role

Our Borrowing (lending) business is growing rapidly across both existing products and the planned launch of new initiatives. We aim to create a genuine feel-good factor when it comes to personal credit, and are looking for driven, analytical and creative individuals to help us achieve this goal. With our Flex product we're reinventing credit cards to give customers more visibility and control over their spending. Our portfolio is growing rapidly and we're expanding into new markets and distribution channels.
