Requirements
• Deep experience in secured lending credit risk — you've worked on second charge mortgages or similar secured products (bridging, BTL, specialist residential) and understand the product inside out • Strong knowledge of risk scoring and pricing — you've built or materially contributed to scorecards, pricing frameworks, or credit policy in a secured lending environment • Understanding of funding and capital constraints — you know how LTV covenants, property valuations, and investor criteria shape what you can lend and to whom • Commercial awareness and growth mindset — you understand that credit policy exists to enable lending, not prevent it. You think about accept rates, broker conversion, and competitive positioning alongside risk metrics • Familiarity with the end-to-end secured lending process — from quote through to completion, including how valuation, legal, and land registry processes interact with credit decisions • Analytical rigour — you're comfortable with data. SQL is required and Python experience is a plus, but what matters is that you think in numbers and can interrogate MI to drive decisions that lead to more good quality lending • Regulatory awareness — working knowledge of MCOB and FCA requirements for second charge lending • Experience designing for scale and automation — you understand how to structure underwriting policy as decision logic, scorecards, and rules that can be executed programmatically. You think in terms of tens of thousands of applications, not manual case-by-case review • Experience with loan servicing — settlements, collections, arrears management, and recoveries in a secured lending context • Exposure to broker distribution models and how credit policy interacts with intermediary channels • Experience working in a startup or scale-up environment, or a desire to move from a large organisation into one • Experience with decisioning platforms or rules engines • LIFE AT LENDABLE
Responsibilities
• Define credit policy and underwriting strategy for second charge mortgages, including affordability, eligibility, and decisioning frameworks • Own risk scoring and pricing — develop and refine scorecards, risk segmentation, and pricing models that balance volume with portfolio quality • Drive growth whilst balancing risk — use analytic and credit judgment to drive growth through credit policy, work with the commercial team team to hit volume targets, and all whilst maintaining portfolio quality • Own the IRR/NPV/cashflow models - ensure we understand the economics of the asset we’re booking, and drive changes where needed • Design automated decisioning logic — translate credit policy into executable rules and decision trees that can be embedded in the platform, working with engineering to build the quickest, most automated secured product on the market • Help shape funding strategy — collaborate with the Capital Markets team to inform investor parameters around LTV limits, property valuations, and portfolio concentration, translating these into practical credit policy • Inform the property valuation and security process — ensure credit policy accounts for valuation methodology, panel management considerations, and charge registration requirements • Monitor portfolio performance — track early indicators, refine strategy based on outcomes, and report to senior stakeholders • Collaborate cross-functionally — work daily with product and engineering to embed credit decisioning into the platform, and with legal and compliance to ensure regulatory alignment (MCOB, Consumer Duty) • Get stuck in — this is a small team building something from scratch. You'll be hands-on across the full credit lifecycle, not managing from a distance
