We are currently seeking a highly skilled Credit Analyst for a newly created, high-profile role within our client's team. This is a fantastic opportunity and should appeal if you:
Are keen to take charge of a newly created position: where you’ll design and implement key processes for their credit insurance policy. You’ll have the freedom to shape the role and make an immediate impact.
Are seeking a High-Profile Influential role: your insights will directly shape new credit policies. You’ll collaborate with teams across the company, ensuring your voice is heard and valued at every level.
Like working autonomously yet collaboratively: While you'll manage your projects, you’ll also work closely with insurers, brokers, and internal teams, enjoying autonomy with strong support.
Here are some of your key responsibilities:

* Reporting & Process Mapping: Evaluate and define reporting requirements related to the Credit Insurance Policy and assist in process mapping to enhance policy effectiveness.
* Audit & Compliance: Manage audit requirements within Credit Services, ensuring documentation is accurate and up-to-date.
* Risk Management: Assist in regular reviews of the insured customer portfolio, ensure coverage is maximised, and manage credit insurance alerts, taking appropriate risk mitigation actions.
* Policy & Procedure Adherence: Work with credit control teams to ensure compliance with credit insurance policies and procedures.
But as with any newly created role, your remit is very likely to spread into additional areas in time
