About OakNorth Credit Intelligence
A spinoff from OakNorth Bank, at OakNorth Credit Intelligence (ONCI) we are building a SaaS platform which transforms commercial lending by helping banks build deeper relationships with their clients, open new, more profitable opportunities, whilst delivering credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional methods, with lower risk and greater efficiency.
This came as a result of our realisation that despite small and medium sized companies (SMEs) being a powerful force in the economy, many of them find it difficult to raise capital during critical stages of their company growth. Traditional commercial lending is highly rigid often making them misaligned with a company’s requirements. We aim to solve this problem at ONCI.
We’re dedicated to helping trailblazing businesses thrive and our Credit team are the drivers of our growth. The role is for the climate credit team which helps banks identify which borrowers or industries in their portfolio are most likely to face risk or benefit from climate change and as a result, mitigate risk and identify opportunities to lend more.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast-paced organization with a reputation for doing things differently. We don’t want another cog in the machine, we’re looking for self-starters and bold thinkers who want to pave their own career paths.
In a nutshell, the role entails monitoring the latest regulatory updates and recent advancements in the climate sector, developing and maintaining industry-level climate transition risk models, and producing content such as brief notes, research papers, and blog posts related to climate issues.

About OakNorth
Small and medium-size enterprises (SME) are one of the biggest drivers of growth and innovation in economies all over the world. Despite these companies being a powerful force in the economy, many SMEs find it difficult to raise capital during critical stages of their company growth. Traditional commercial lending is optimised to make loans that are either too small to be effective or too large and expensive to be practical. At OakNorth, our mission is to help lenders fill this gap which we refer to as the “Missing Middle.” We are building a SaaS platform called the Credit Intelligence Suite which transforms commercial lending by helping banks build deeper relationships with their clients, open new, more profitable opportunities, whilst delivering credit decisions up to ten times faster than traditional models, with lower risk and greater efficiency.
