The team:

Play a critical role in the newly formed Credit & Commercial Strategy team by bringing together Pricing, Decisioning & AI/ML Credit Modelling and leveraging a world-class, data-led Credit approach to deliver exceptional outcomes for SMEs and partners. Working between the Credit craft and Platform Families, this is a keystone role to drive Liberis’ growth.

 

The role:

Own credit and commercial strategy within your platform family: translating the GM's commercial priorities into clear credit and commercial questions; bring Liberis' credit and commercial frameworks (e.g. return hurdles, pricing models, segmentation) into family-level decisions, and flag where family priorities require new thinking or central support; subject matter expert able to clearly explain complex concepts + educate the team to build literacy

Own commercial and credit initiatives and elements end-to-end: for example, with an "Auto-Flex" proposition, how should funded amounts and initial prices be set? How do limits and prices evolve dynamically as repayment data comes in?; in a tactical performance push, identify ways to hit and exceed performance targets• Collaborate across the cross-functional family - product, engineering, underwriting, commercial – to ensure credit and commercial strategy is a first-class input into roadmap and go-to-market decisions, not a late-stage constraint

Commission and co-build new models and decisioning approaches with the Credit and Commercial Strategy craft, translating family-specific needs into model requirements and validating outputs in context

 

What we think you’ll need:

  • Strong grounding in unit economics, credit, pricing and commercial modelling - enough to apply Liberis' frameworks to new product and partner contexts and know the right questions to ask of central model-builders
  • Comfortable operating in a matrix: reporting into a GM and aligned to a family's priorities, while working closely with the Credit and Commercial Strategy craft
  • Cross-functional collaborator - able to work across product, engineering, risk, and commercial within the family and bring those perspectives together around a coherent credit and commercial approach
  • At ease with ambiguity and new product design - many of the problems this role tackles won't have existing playbooks, and you'll need to build the approach from first principles
  • Clear communicator: able to translate complex credit and commercial concepts into practical guidance for product teams, commercial leads, and GMs who aren't credit specialists

Our hybrid approach
Working together in person helps us move faster, collaborate better, and build a great Liberis culture. Our hybrid working policy requires team members to be in the office at least 3 days a week. At Liberis, we embrace flexibility as a core part of our culture, while also valuing the importance of the time our teams spend together in the office.
