- Strong analytical capability, with the ability to interpret complex data, identify meaningful patterns, and derive insights that inform action
- Skills in SQL, Python, SAS, Excel, Tableau, or similar tools used for analysis and performance monitoring and/or experience working with modern data platforms (for example BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar cloud‐based environments)
- Ability to translate analysis into clear, practical recommendations that balance customer outcomes, risk appetite, and business performance
- Sound understanding of Australian retail credit portfolios, including key segments, performance drivers, and the broader risk landscape

- Experience communicating analytical findings clearly to business and risk stakeholders
- A curious mindset and willingness to keep learning and improving
- A tertiary qualification in a quantitative, analytical, commercial, legal, technology, or related discipline is valued, or equivalent practical experience
You will have the opportunity to influence portfolio outcomes by helping shape credit decisions, improving governance and controls, strengthening decision quality and contributing to the evolution of modern credit practices.
