Credit Decisioning Specialist Business Lending & Portfolio Risk Northampton (Office-Based) 50,000 - 70,000 + Annual Bonus + Private Healthcare + Enhanced Pension + Benefits Credit decisioning is evolving rapidly. The businesses leading that evolution are the ones that combine data science capability with experienced human credit judgement. This is one of those businesses - and this is the role that sits at the intersection of both. The Business A high-growth specialist SME lender has invested significantly in proprietary AI-driven credit scoring, automated decisioning infrastructure and data science capability. The business underwrites both broker-introduced and own-book lending, and has built a credit function that is genuinely analytical - not one that simply applies policy. The credit and data teams work in close proximity. Decisioning models are continuously refined. Portfolio performance is monitored analytically. And the underwriting team operates with real sanctioning authority - combining the outputs of the technology with independent commercial judgement on every material decision. The Opportunity The business is seeking a Credit Decisioning Specialist to take a central role within its commercial credit function. This is not a pure modelling role and it is not a pure underwriting role - it is a role for someone who is comfortable in both worlds. You will assess complex SME lending applications with genuine decisioning authority, work closely with the data science team on credit model performance, contribute to underwriting policy and portfolio risk frameworks, and provide mentorship and guidance to junior colleagues. Key Responsibilities Underwrite complex SME and commercial lending applications with full decisioning authority within delegated limits Evaluate financial statements, management accounts, Open Banking data, credit bureau outputs and risk indicators to form independent credit views Contribute analytical insight to the ongoing refinement of credit models, scorecard thresholds and automated decisioning frameworks Identify portfolio risk trends and emerging issues through performance data analysis Manage exceptions, referrals and non-standard cases requiring judgement beyond automated scoring Work closely with broker partners, sales, operations and the data science team to ensure decision quality and portfolio health Support the development of junior underwriters and analysts The Candidate You have developed your credit career in a demanding, data-aware lending environment. You understand both the power and the limitations of automated credit models. You can make independent decisions, articulate your reasoning clearly, and engage with portfolio data at a level that goes beyond individual transactions. Proven experience in SME lending, commercial credit, challenger banking, fintech lending, asset finance or specialist business finance Strong analytical capability - comfortable interpreting financial accounts, credit bureau data, Open Banking outputs and risk modelling inputs Experience with automated decisioning environments, credit scorecards or data-led lending platforms - as a user, contributor or both Genuine delegated sanctioning authority - able to make and stand behind independent credit decisions Commercial intelligence - understands how individual lending decisions connect to portfolio outcomes and business performance Degree-educated or equivalent intellectual profile with demonstrable analytical achievement Unrestricted right to work in the UK Target Backgrounds Professionals from specialist SME lenders, new challenger banks, fintech credit platforms and data-enabled business finance businesses are particularly encouraged to apply. Credit risk analysts with underwriting authority, senior underwriters with strong analytical depth, and lending professionals who have worked alongside scorecard or model development teams are all strong fits for this role. Salary & Benefits 50,000 - 70,000 basic salary (dependent on experience and current sanctioning level) Annual performance bonus Private healthcare Enhanced pension contributions Life assurance Genuine progression into underwriting leadership and credit management Location Northampton. Fully office-based. The business operates a highly collaborative credit and data culture - the underwriting team, data science function and senior leadership work in close daily proximity. This environment is central to the quality of decisioning the business produces. Relocation assistance is available for exceptional candidates. If you have built your credit career in an environment where data and judgement work together - and you want a role where both are genuinely valued - this is worth a conversation.

Credit Analyst & Underwriter Specialist Business Lender Northampton (Office-Based) 35,000 + Annual Bonus + Private Healthcare + Enhanced Pension + Life Assurance If you are analytically sharp, commercially curious, and want to build a career in business lending where your thinking genuinely influences outcomes - this is where that career starts. The Role A high-growth, technology-driven specialist SME lender is seeking a Credit Analyst & Underwriter to join its Northampton-based credit team. This is a role that combines analytical rigour with real lending judgement - you will not simply be running numbers through a model. You will learn to assess businesses, interpret financial data and form independent views on creditworthiness. The business has built a strong reputation for intelligent lending - combining data-led decisioning with experienced human judgement. As a Credit Analyst & Underwriter, you will sit at the intersection of both, working alongside senior credit professionals who are genuinely invested in developing the next generation of talent. What You Will Do Analyse credit applications for SMEs, sole traders and growing businesses across a range of lending products Interpret financial accounts, management information, bank statements, credit bureau data and Open Banking outputs Form independent credit views on business quality, repayment capacity and risk profile Work alongside experienced senior underwriters on complex and higher-value transactions Communicate decisions clearly to internal stakeholders, sales teams and broker partners Contribute to the continuous improvement of underwriting processes and analytical frameworks What We Are Looking For Above all, intellectual capability and the drive to build something. The business values analytical thinking, commercial curiosity and the ambition to become a genuinely excellent credit professional. Degree-educated or equivalent strong academic background (analytical disciplines particularly valued) Comfortable working with numbers and financial data - you enjoy understanding what the figures are actually saying Experience within financial services - motor finance, consumer finance, retail banking, asset finance or similar environments welcomed Naturally curious about how businesses operate and how lending decisions affect real-world outcomes Strong written and verbal communication - you can explain your reasoning as clearly as you can reach it Unrestricted right to work in the UK Why This Business This is not a business where analysts process applications and underwriters stamp them. The credit function is genuinely analytical, commercially engaged and data-aware - the team works closely with data science, operations and senior leadership in a way that is simply not available at most lenders. The business has invested heavily in proprietary technology and AI-driven decisioning, which means you will develop your career in a genuinely modern credit environment. Progression The pathway from this role runs through Senior Credit Underwriter, Principal Underwriter and into Credit Leadership within an organisation that is scaling rapidly and has a demonstrable track record of promoting from within. The Package 35,000 basic salary Annual performance bonus Private healthcare Enhanced pension contributions Life assurance Genuine long-term progression within a fast-growing specialist lender Location Northampton. Fully office-based. The business believes the fastest way to develop analytical and commercial credit skills is through daily proximity to experienced colleagues - the kind of learning that cannot happen remotely. Relocation support may be available for the right candidate. This role is aimed at analytically strong individuals from motor finance, consumer finance, banking and wider financial services who want their career to move into the analytical heart of business lending. If that is you, we would like to hear from you.
