About the job

About Abound

At Abound, we are revolutionizing consumer lending across the UK and beyond. By leveraging cutting-edge AI and Open Banking data, we strive to make fair and affordable personal finance accessible to a wider audience. Unlike traditional lenders that heavily depend on credit scores, we adopt a comprehensive approach, assessing spending habits and repayment capabilities to develop a nuanced understanding of each customer's financial landscape.

Our innovative methods have proven successful on a large scale, having issued over £1.3 billion in loans directly to consumers while maintaining industry-leading credit performance – witnessing only 3 defaults for every 10 anticipated by the industry. Moreover, we reached profitability just 2.5 years post-launch.

Supported by over £2 billion in funding from prestigious investors like Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we have been recognized as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintech companies (Sifted, CNBC). As we expand into new markets and product lines, we invite ambitious individuals eager to learn, take initiative, and grow with us.

About the Role:

We are seeking a Credit Risk Manager/Data Scientist to spearhead our credit risk and data science initiatives in Spain. This role will involve tailoring our product to the Spanish market, identifying and integrating new data sources, developing models and features, and tracking performance to establish a robust foundation for expansion.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Managing credit performance, data science, and reporting in Spain comprehensively.

  • Developing and overseeing our local decision-making model and its associated features.

  • Establishing and nurturing our API integrations and relationships with local data providers.

  • Collaborating closely with our local product, tech, underwriting, and operations teams to iteratively refine and create new features.

  • Understanding the balance between risk and growth, and leveraging the tools at our disposal to drive both.

  • Evaluating successful strategies from the UK and adapting them appropriately for the local Spanish market.

  • Monitoring and reporting key credit performance indicators and concentration metrics.

Who You Are:

  • A meticulous, data-driven professional with a passion for enhancing credit risk management and data science.
