Credit Risk Analyst

£18,000 - £21,000, fixed term maternity contract until April 2019, Leeds Kirkstall

Are you looking to get back into work ASAP?

Or, maybe you want to get your foot in the door with a business local to you who have excellent career development opportunities?

I'll admit, fixed term contracts aren't for everyone. Nobody likes to feel unstable in their job, and knowing that your time with a business has an expiry date doesn't inspire thoughts of career prospects and development opportunities. Here comes the "but"… if you're actively searching and want to build a network and relations that could develop into future career prospects within an interesting business, then read on, as this is a company has very good potential for growth down multiple avenues.

About the company

The business are a large distribution company, whose offices are situated in an ideal location, and are well equipped with all the mod cons and amenities needed to promote a healthy and productive work environment. If you like your fitness and health, then there's an onsite gym you can slip into during break to pump iron or hit the treadmill. Or, if you see yourself more a coffee addict than a health nut, then there's a cafeteria that serves Starbucks, cake and a range of lunches all at subsidised prices.

The Job

As a credit risk analyst, you'll be working within a team of 3 other administrators whose purpose is to vet and credit check potential new business customers. The key to this role is to have good decision making abilities; as you'll be required to balance the risk of providing credit, which could be written off if not paid back, up against the potential growth that new sales opportunities offer the business. Good intuition for weighing up risk vs reward is a must have skill.

You

If you have come from a credit risk background - then that's great, as your experiences will match up with minimal need for training and development. However, don't be put off if you're looking over your CV and it doesn't look like a carbon copy of the job brief. My client understands this is a specialist role that may require training to find right person. Attitude and fitting in with the existing team are the key indicators that will be assessed, and they are happy to look at a broad range of skills and experiences that could be transferable to the needs of the position.

Ideally you will have a methodological and process driven attitude towards your work. If you have come from a heavily administrative background, that has required meticulous organisation and planning - then you'd be an excellent candidate to consider as a developmental option.

In Return

You'll be rewarded for your hard work, with the opportunity to take time out of your regular day duties to shadow other managers in key parts of the business; with the view to developing your skills in an area that resonates with your interests and needs for your personal development.
