Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Abound Full time

**About the role**

We’re on a mission to make affordable loans available to more people. We have built award-winning technology to look beyond credit scores and offer fair credit to people ignored by traditional lenders.

We have two parts of our business. On the consumer side, we have Abound. Abound has helped us prove that our approach works at scale. While other lenders only look at your credit score, we look at all of the full picture - what you earn, how you spend, and what’s left at the end. We’re able to do this thanks to Open Banking.

On the B2B side, we have Render. Render is the platform that allows Abound to make better lending decisions. By better we mean less risky. And less risky decisions mean we can offer customers better rates than they can usually find elsewhere. We’re taking Render global so that more companies can offer affordable credit to their customers.

We're looking for an experienced individual to fill the role of Senior Collections Advisor. This position requires an important balance of both credit and conduct risk as we focus on delivering the right outcomes for our customers based on their individual circumstances, always.
