We’re looking for a Credit Analyst - German Speaking
We’re growing fast, and more customers means more credit decisions. Our credit team is expanding and we’re looking for experienced analysts to assess our customers in a fast, fair and accurate way.
The companyImagine a world where every small business has the power to thrive. That's the world we're building ll businesses aren't just statistics – they're the heartbeat of our communities, the character of our high streets, and the engine of our economy. Since 2012, we've revolutionised how these businesses access finance, turning what was once a lengthy, frustrating process into something remarkable: funding that's fast, flexible, and actually works for modern businesses.
Our impact speaks for itself: we've provided billions in funding to over 150,000 businesses across Europe, making us one of the continent's leading fintech innovators. But we're just getting started. Our mission? To empower one million businesses with the financial tools they deserve.
We combine cutting-edge technology and data science with genuine human understanding to make finance feel less like a barrier and more like a superpower. Whether it's managing cash flow or seizing unexpected opportunities, we ensure businesses get the funds they need – often within minutes.
As we deepen our relationship with customers, insurance feels like a natural next step: it's a critical piece of the financial puzzle for small businesses, and one that's often underserved. We're bringing the same customer obsession, data-driven approach, and innovative mindset to the world of SME insurance - starting from first principles to build something that really works for modern businesses.
