Credit Decisioning Specialist Business Lending & Portfolio Risk East Midlands (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 East Midlands. 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.

Senior Credit Underwriter SME Lending & Commercial Credit Decisioning East Midlands (Office-Based) 50,000 - 70,000 DOE + Annual Bonus + Private Healthcare + Enhanced Pension + Benefits Some credit environments are built around scorecards, rules engines and committees. This one is built around people who can think. The Opportunity A high-growth specialist SME lender is seeking a Senior Credit Underwriter to take a central role within its commercial credit function. This is a business where underwriting sits at the intersection of data science, commercial lending and analytical rigour - and where the quality of individual credit judgement genuinely drives portfolio outcomes. The organisation has invested heavily in proprietary technology, data infrastructure and AI-driven decisioning capability. The underwriting team does not simply operate within that framework - it helps to shape it. Senior Underwriters here carry real sanctioning authority, influence credit policy, and work closely with leadership on complex, higher-value and exception transactions. Why This Role Stands Out Challenger banking and fintech lending have produced some of the sharpest credit minds in the UK market. But many professionals at this level find themselves constrained - by risk committees, by rigid automated models that leave little room for judgement, or by growth ceilings in businesses that are scaling faster than their talent frameworks. This business is different. It values the combination of strong analytical foundations, commercial instinct and practical underwriting experience. It is looking for someone who has developed their credit thinking in a demanding environment - and wants to apply that capability somewhere it will genuinely count. The Role Assess and underwrite complex SME and commercial lending applications with full decisioning authority within delegated limits Evaluate financial statements, credit bureau data, management accounts, business plans and risk indicators to form independent lending views Manage broker-introduced and own-book applications from initial submission through to decision and documentation Handle referrals, exceptions and non-standard cases that require judgement beyond automated scorecards Mentor and support junior underwriters, contributing to the development of the wider team Contribute to underwriting policy development, credit appetite discussions and process improvement initiatives Work closely with the senior credit team, sales function and operations to ensure high-quality lending outcomes The Candidate You will be an experienced credit professional who has operated in a demanding, high-volume or complex lending environment. You think analytically, make decisions confidently and can articulate your reasoning clearly to internal and external stakeholders. Proven experience in SME lending, commercial credit, asset finance, specialist business finance or equivalent challenger/fintech lending environments Strong analytical capability - comfortable interpreting financial accounts, credit data, bureau outputs and risk modelling inputs Experience operating with meaningful delegated sanctioning authority Able to make and stand behind independent credit decisions under time pressure Commercial awareness - understands how lending decisions influence portfolio performance and business growth Degree-educated or equivalent intellectual profile (strong analytical A-levels and demonstrable career achievement considered) Unrestricted right to work in the UK Target Backgrounds Professionals from specialist SME lenders, new challenger banks, fintech lending platforms and technology-enabled business finance environments are particularly encouraged to apply. Asset finance, commercial finance, motor finance and retail banking backgrounds are also highly relevant where candidates have developed strong analytical and judgement-based underwriting skills. Salary & Benefits 50,000 - 70,000 DOE basic salary (dependent on experience and current sanctioning authority) Annual performance bonus Private healthcare Enhanced pension contributions Life assurance Long-term progression into underwriting leadership and credit management Location East Midlands. This role is fully office-based. The business operates a highly collaborative credit culture, with senior underwriters, credit leadership and the data science team working in close proximity. This environment is designed to produce better decisions, faster development and more meaningful progression. Relocation assistance is available for exceptional candidates. If you have built your credit career in a fast-moving lending environment and are ready for a role where your judgement shapes real outcomes - rather than simply being validated by a model - this is worth a conversation.

Credit Underwriter - Business Lending & Credit Risk East Midlands (Office-Based) 35,000 + Annual Bonus + Private Healthcare + Enhanced Pension + Life Assurance Are you analytically sharp, intellectually curious, and looking for a career where your judgement genuinely matters? This is not a role for people looking to process forms. It is a role for people who want to understand businesses, assess risk intelligently, and build a career at the heart of a fast-growing specialist lender. The Opportunity A high-growth, technology-driven specialist SME lender is seeking a Credit Underwriter to join its Northampton-based credit team. This is a rare entry-level underwriting position that offers the kind of analytical depth, commercial exposure and progression that is simply not available at most lenders. The business has grown rapidly, invested significantly in data, AI-driven decisioning and proprietary credit platforms, and has built a reputation for making lending decisions that combine intellectual rigour with commercial common sense. The underwriting team sits at the core of everything the business does. What Makes This Different Most junior credit roles involve applying a scorecard and moving on. This one does not. From day one, you will learn how to evaluate real lending applications, assess the financial health and trading performance of SMEs, understand risk at a portfolio level, and work alongside experienced senior underwriters and credit professionals who are genuinely invested in developing the next generation of talent. You will be exposed to both broker-introduced and own-book lending - a breadth of experience that many credit professionals spend years trying to acquire. The Role Assess credit applications across SME, commercial and business lending segments Evaluate financial accounts, management information, credit bureau data and other risk indicators Support senior underwriters on more complex transactions, building judgement progressively Work within established credit policy and risk appetite frameworks while developing your own underwriting instinct Communicate decisions clearly and professionally to introducers, brokers and internal stakeholders Contribute to continuous improvement of underwriting processes and workflows What We Are Looking For The business is particularly interested in individuals who combine strong academic foundations with intellectual curiosity, commercial awareness and the drive to build a long-term career in credit and lending. Strong academic background (degree-educated or 4+ strong A-levels equivalent) Analytical mindset - comfortable working with numbers, financial data and interpreting information Experience gained within financial services - motor finance, consumer finance, retail banking, asset finance or similar environments welcomed Commercially curious - interested in how businesses operate and how lending decisions influence outcomes Strong written and verbal communication skills Unrestricted right to work in the UK Backgrounds Actively Welcomed Previous experience in motor finance, consumer lending, retail banking, asset finance or commercial finance will be valued. Equally, strong graduates or career-changers with a genuine interest in lending, risk and business finance who can demonstrate the right intellectual profile are encouraged to apply. Progression The business has a clear and demonstrable track record of promoting from within. This role sits at the foundation of a credit career pathway that extends through Senior Credit Underwriter, Principal Underwriter and into Credit Leadership - within an organisation that is scaling rapidly and investing in its people. The Package 35,000 basic salary Annual performance bonus Private healthcare Enhanced pension contributions Life assurance Genuine long-term progression within a growing specialist lender Location Northampton. This role is fully office-based. The business firmly believes that the highest quality underwriting is developed through proximity - working daily alongside experienced colleagues, sharing knowledge and building commercial instinct through observation and practice. Relocation support may be available for the right candidate. This role is actively targeted at analytically strong individuals from motor finance, consumer finance, retail banking and financial services environments. If you have the intellectual foundation and the ambition to build a career in business lending and credit risk, this is where that career starts.
