SeniorCreditStrategyManager

About Abound We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation. And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch. Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us. About The Role We are hiring a Senior Credit Strategy Manager to lead the growth and performance of our Express / Mid-prime segment, one of our highest-priority areas. This is unsecured personal lending in the higher-APR mid-prime space (30% - 50% APR), with loans typically from £2,000 to £10,000, and customers acquired primarily through price-comparison and aggregator marketplaces. Our ambition is to scale this segment substantially while improving its economics, and this role owns the credit strategy that makes that possible. This role sits at the intersection of credit risk and commercial strategy. It is about making better decisions on who we serve, how we quote and offer them at the point of acquisition, how we underwrite, how we manage portfolio performance, and how we grow profitably and at pace. We are looking for someone with strong credit judgement and sharp commercial instinct, someone who can combine risk discipline with a real understanding of grow
