Senior Manager – Existing Customer Credit Risk

Senior Manager – Existing Customer Credit Risk

Location:

Hybrid and flexible, UK-wide

This is a senior leadership role with real breadth and influence, shaping how Virgin Media O₂ manages credit risk for its existing customers. You will own the strategy and performance of a significant customer credit portfolio, balancing sustainable growth with fair, responsible customer outcomes while protecting the long-term financial health of the business.

You will lead end-to-end credit risk oversight across products, brands and channels, using data, insight and strong commercial judgement to guide decision-making. Working closely with senior stakeholders across Commercial, Product, Finance and Operations, you will translate portfolio performance into clear financial outcomes, strengthen governance with third‑party partners and build a high‑performing analytical team that drives continuous improvement.

At Virgin Media O₂, we connect people to the moments that matter most. Virgin Media leads the UK for broadband reliability, speed and overall performance, while O₂ keeps people connected on the move with award‑winning coverage.

We’re also proud to be named one of the Financial Times Top 500 Best Employers for 2026, based on one of the UK’s largest employee satisfaction surveys.

Join us and you’ll be part of a team that stays curious, positive and focused on making life easier for our customers and each other. We’re investing in the future of connectivity, from expanding next‑generation 5G to exploring satellite‑supported solutions that help reach rural communities and hard‑to‑connect places.

You’ll work with people who back good ideas and give you plenty of room to grow. So if you’re looking for a place where you can feel supported, trusted and genuinely valued, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re a flexible‑first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days a month connecting with each other in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office – it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross‑functional projects, or away days. What matters is making those moments count – so when we come together, it benefits everyone.

We believe a better tomorrow starts with the choices we make today. That means moving the dial on diversity, building equity into everything we do and putting inclusion at the heart of our business.

Virgin Media O₂ is an equal opportunities employer and we work hard to remove bias and barriers. We want every person who joins us – and everyone thinking about joining us – to feel seen, heard and supported.

When you work with us, you’ll have access to our award‑winning employee network groups. These communities bring people together, champion allyship and create uplifting spaces where you can learn, share and feel part of something bigger. They play a big role in helping people feel connected from day one.
