Credit Risk Analyst

Working in the MI and Insight team, a Credit Risk Analyst has exposure to the entire credit lifecycle of mortgages. This role supports the management of Credit Risk by conducting data extraction and analysis to design, develop and produce accurate and insightful management information that monitors the performance and characteristics of the Society’s lending and informs senior management decision-making. The team plays an integral part in shaping the business and the role provides an ideal opportunity to learn about both Credit Risk and Financial Services.

This is a great development role for someone who may have already have some analysis experience, or you may have studied a numerical discipline, have an interest in Credit Risk and be looking to develop a future career path. Personal development is a key focus within the team - you will receive personal support and guidance to enable development of your skills and knowledge.

This is such an exciting time to join YBS - you will be an important member of the team, bringing your continuous improvement mindset to reviewing our ways of working and shaping how data and MI is produced for the business, along with an inquisitive mind and the ability to spot emerging trends and areas of concern and communicate these both verbally and in writing to stakeholders within the Society.
