We have an exciting opportunity for a Credit Risk Analyst to join our Credit Risk team here at YBS on a 9-month fixedterm contract.
This is such an exciting time to join YBS - you will be an important member of the team, bringing your continuous improvement mindset to reviewing our ways of working and shaping how data and MI is produced for the business, along with an inquisitive mind and the ability to spot emerging trends and areas of concern and communicate these both verbally and in writing to stakeholders within the Society.
About the Role
Working in the MI and Insight team, a Credit Risk Analyst has exposure to the entire credit lifecycle of mortgages. This role supports the management of Credit Risk by conducting data extraction and analysis to design, develop and produce accurate and insightful management information that monitors the performance and characteristics of the Society’s lending and informs senior management decision-making. The team plays an integral part in shaping the business and the role provides an ideal opportunity to learn about both Credit Risk and Financial Services.
Some responsibilities include:
Perform basic analysis and running of existing code to produce timely and accurate Credit Risk management information and communicating any trends or concerns to management and decision making committees both written and verbally.
With guidance and support, utilise best practice data manipulation and analytical techniques to perform analysis of the Society’s Credit Risk portfolios and develop new reports to enable strategic decision making.
Develop an understanding of the credit risk lifecycle for residential, buy-to-let and commercial mortgages, and leverage that understanding to add value to your analysis.
Manage small to medium analytical projects and provide analysis to senior team members ensuring requirements are met and analysis is accurate.
About You
Credit Risk understanding would be beneficial but not essential as training will be provided to gain full competence.
Experience of data manipulation and a working knowledge of SAS (or similar statistical packages), SQL and Microsoft Excel are desirable.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Strong organisational and prioritisation skills.
Continuous improvement mindset and a committed attitude to personal development and learning

And we also have other colleague groups, such as ManKind and Family Foundations, where colleagues can connect, and start conversations that can be taken into the Networks.
Community and Charity
Ever since we started back in 1864, we’ve had a clear purpose – to do some good in our communities through helping people keep their savings safe. And helping everyone have a place to call home. Today, that purpose is still a huge part of who we are. And every one of our colleagues helps that happen.
We’re committed to volunteering our time, resources, skills and knowledge – more than 50% of colleagues contribute to thousands of volunteer hours every year. And our Charitable Foundation has now donated over £9 million to charities and good causes across the country.

We help our colleagues get the most out of work, and take care of themselves, wherever they’re working.
We offer a range of flexible working options without unsocial hours, which can help you find a healthy work-life balance. Whether it’s finishing early for an appointment or fitting your studies and hobbies in around your working hours, we can help make it work for you. We’re happy to talk flexible working and you can reach out to us anytime during the recruitment process to discuss this.

I joined the Society in 2017, and throughout that time I have worked in several departments, learning and growing along the way. However, it wasn't until April 2022 that I finally discovered my passion, which is recruitment.
In my current role with the Resourcing & Inclusion team, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with many amazing teams across the business. I absolutely love helping hiring managers find their perfect candidates, and it's equally rewarding to assist candidates in landing their dream jobs.
