Graduate Credit Risk Analyst - German speaking (London based) in Frankfurt am Main

DESCRIPTION

iwoca is breaking the barriers that stop Europe's 20 million small businesses from accessing finance. Traditional bank loans have slow application processes, inflexible terms and burdensome criteria. In contrast, we offer flexible access to credit with a five minute application process and a decision in hours.

Since 2012, we have over £ 900 million to over 50,000 businesses across Europe. Our customers include everything from cafés to car dealers, salons to solicitors. Along the way we have built a sophisticated technology platform, winning numerous awards and grown a fun, and vibrant team.

However, we're still near the start of our journey - our aim is to finance a million small businesses within a decade and so we need more smart, hands-on people to help us reach this goal.

Now we're looking for credit risk analysts who can help make better lending decisions.

REQUIREMENTS

Our team of credit risk analysts are responsible for making lending decisions.

A typical day for you will include:

• Being responsible for making lending
• Becoming involved in the process of making the decision.

• Communicating effectively with our Onboarding and Account Management teams to ensure customer needs are met at all times.

We look for people who are smart, humble, motivated and who are always looking to improve. Ideally, you'll have:
