Credit Risk Practitioner

This is a great opportunity for a data-minded risk professional who enjoys solving real business problems.

As a Credit Risk Practitioner, you will use data, analytics, business judgement, governance principles and collaboration to improve credit strategy across the full lifecycle, including originations, portfolio management, and collections. You will work closely with teams across Product, Pricing, Technology, Operations, Distribution, Operations, Collections and L1 and L2 Risk teams to design and deliver practical credit improvements to strengthen portfolio performance.

You will take end-to-end ownership of credit challenges in your area, from diagnosis to delivery:

• Define and size the problem
• Analyse portfolio and process performance
• Recommend credit strategy or rule changes
• Support implementation and control testing
• Monitor results and optimise over time

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving problems, connecting insights to decisions, and translating strategy into operational outcomes across the credit lifecycle.

• Experience in credit risk, preferably in retail lending
• Strong analytical capability, with the ability to interpret complex data, identify meaningful patterns, and derive insights that inform action
• Strong skills in SQL, Python, SAS, Excel, Tableau, or similar tools used for analysis and performance monitoring
• 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
• Understanding of core portfolio metrics such as losses, recoveries, provisions, and return outcomes
• Strong problem-solving, structured thinking, and collaboration skills, with confidence working across business and risk stakeholders
• A curious mindset, strong sense of ownership, 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.

We recognise that great candidates may not meet every role requirement listed above. If your experience aligns strongly with many of the areas outlined and you are excited by the opportunity to grow further as a Credit Risk practitioner, we encourage you to apply.
