Liaising with brokers, vendors, and internal stakeholders (sales, credit, legal) to progress deals. Ensuring compliance with regulation, internal policy, and record-keeping standards. Contributing to continuous improvement of underwriting frameworks and risk-management processes. What You’ll Bring Experience in underwriting or credit assessment - ideally in asset finance, equipment leasing, hire-purchase, or similar secured lending. Strong analytical skills and the ability to assess credit risk, cash-flow, and asset security. Experience reviewing or valuing assets (machinery, vehicles, equipment) or familiarity with lease / HP underwriting. Excellent stakeholder and communication skills - able to work with brokers, vendors and internal teams. Detail-oriented mindset, with a strong sense of governance, compliance, and risk. Ability to manage a varied caseload and make timely, well-justified credit decisions. Why Join? You will be part of a specialist, growth-focused lender with a diversified product offering, committed to supporting UK SMEs. You'll have the opportunity to influence underwriting standards, support business growth with meaningful credit decisions, and develop your career in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment #J-18808-Ljbffr
