About the role:
As a Credit Analyst at Shift, you'll be a crucial part of our customers' journeys, carefully reviewing credit applications from both customers and brokers. With a keen eye for detail, you'll look at bank statements, financial documents, and other key information to help determine each applicant’s creditworthiness and suggest the right lending options.

This is a part-time opportunity, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle, while making a meaningful impact on our team and customers.

What you'll do:

• Review and assess commercial credit applications by analysing financial statements, bank records, and other important data

• Connect with applicants and brokers over the phone to gather information and discuss loan requirements

• Deliver accurate and thorough credit assessments, recommending lending limits that fit Shift’s approach

• Make sure every customer application is matched with the right products and services

• Keep detailed records of risk factors and ways to manage them, supporting confident decision-making

• Develop strong relationships with internal teams, customers, and brokers to support business growth

• Follow credit underwriting guidelines and compliance standards, and maintain accurate data in our systems

• Team up with Relationship Managers and Sales teams, offering support, coaching, and mentorship

• Look for ways to improve our processes and service, helping the whole team work more efficiently

What you'll bring:

• Previous experience with Delegated Lending Authority in commercial or business lending

• Strong business sense, with a solid grasp of the SME market

• Proven ability to deliver excellent customer service

• Experience analysing commercial credit through financial and bank statements (bonus points for familiarity with non-traditional data!)

• A sharp, analytical mindset with great attention to detail

• Background in risk or analytics roles, or experience with finance products in point-of-sale settings, is a plus but not required

• Fantastic communication skills and the ability to build lasting relationships

• A dedication to compliance and ensuring data accuracy
