Strong understanding of portfolio performance and risk, with the ability to assess asset quality, customer behaviour, trends and changes in portfolio dynamics.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to present complex analysis clearly and influence senior decision-makers.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex portfolio data and identify meaningful trends, drivers and emerging risks.
A strong data-driven mindset, with the ability to challenge assumptions, identify opportunities for deeper insight and ensure analytical outputs are accurate, controlled and fit for purpose.
It’s a plus if you also have these skills
Experience within consumer credit, financial services or another regulated environment.
Experience working with vintage analysis, portfolio monitoring, trend analysis or customer behaviour analytics.
Exposure to macroeconomic indicators and bureau data, and an understanding of how external factors can influence portfolio performance.
