Your insights will influence strategic decisions, your methodologies will drive operational improvements, and your governance will ensure we maintain the highest standards. As we scale, we’re keen to see and support your growth in this role.

About the Role

helping to deliver robust credit scoring models, and developing decisioning frameworks that maximise profitable business outcomes. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Operations, and Technology teams to integrate intelligent credit policies and enhance automation across processes.

tracking arrears trends, and identifying early warning signals to support proactive risk management. Additionally, you will continuously enhance governance practices and improve the effectiveness of monitoring, contributing to Solvar’s commitment to responsible growth and high standards of risk management.
