The role ⚡

📍 London (Hybrid) | 🤝 3 days in the office | 💰 Competitive Salary + Benefits

This role sits within the Second Line Credit Strategy team. We provide independent oversight of credit risk models, strategies, and the data assets that underpin them. You will own a critical piece of our data infrastructure and play a hands-on role in making sure the team can do its best analytical work.

• The primary steward of the modelled datasets the Credit Risk team relies on daily: maintaining field logic, monitoring data quality, and ensuring the data as well as the dictionary remains accurate and fit for purpose.

• Creating new tables and pipelines as the team’s analytical needs evolve, working to a high standard of code quality and documentation.

• Proactively identify anomalies, breaks, and drift in the datamart, and investigate root causes before they affect downstream users.

• Be the go-to person for data questions from analysts and model validators, and will maintain clear documentation so others can self-serve confidently.

• Working closely with the central Data to align on tooling, infrastructure, and best practice, and promote those to the Credit Risk Team.

What we’re looking for 🌱

We value deep expertise, but a growth mindset and good energy are what really make our team click. We’re a group that chooses to lift each other up and think smart every day.

• A degree from a numerical or data-related subject, such as Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or Data Science

• 1–2 years of work experience, or a recent graduate with demonstrably strong data skills

• Proficient in SQL, familiar with Github, and confident using Tableau to build and maintain dashboards

• Comfortable working independently on ambiguous, open-ended data problems with a methodical and detail-oriented approach

• A clear communicator, able to document logic and flag data issues in plain language for both technical and non-technical colleagues

• Familiarity with Python, dbt, Airflow, or AWS is a plus, so is MS Office in a professional setting

• Able to take ownership of redesigning departmental workflows, using AI to automate complex tasks and drive operational efficiency

• Competently able to Identify high-impact AI use cases and implement advanced prompting techniques to solve multi-layered business challenges
