You'll spend the majority of your time in SQL and Python, working directly from Cleo's data warehouse to understand, explain, and improve credit performance. This is not a traditional underwriting or policy role. You'll be the analytics owner for a specific product, with direct line of sight to losses, revenue, and product roadmap. You'll work closely with other analysts, Risk Modellers, Product Managers, and Engineers to diagnose portfolio trends, build monitoring frameworks, and deliver insights that inform how Cleo manages and optimises risk.

Credit & Risk Performance Analytics Write complex SQL/python to pull cohort and event level datasets from our warehouse and turn them into clear, decision ready analyses. Quantify the commercial impact of performance changes (losses, yield, approval rate) Design and analyse multivariate experiments on underwriting, pricing, or repayment flows, and translate results into actionable risk strategies Analyse arrears, default, and yield trends across Cleo's credit products. Identify emerging risks and shifts in eligibility or repayment behaviour using cohort and segmentation analysis. Build and maintain dashboards for portfolio health and performance tracking. Design early warning alerts for anomalies in arrears or model driven decisioning. 2. Model Understanding & Monitoring Partner with the Risk Modelling team to turn model health metrics (AUC, PSI, calibration, feature drift) into clear recommendations for policy or product changes. Monitor model stability and support investigations into concept drift and feature degradation. Quantify the impact of model changes and assess whether observed shifts are model or market driven. 3. Deep Dive Investigations Conduct root cause analysis on performance deteriorations (e.g., arrears spikes, yield compression). Own investigations from question analysis recommendation, and present your work to Risk, Product, and Leadership. Use decomposition, SHAP analysis, and driver frameworks to explain variance in loss and yield. Support the design and measurement of A/B tests or pilot changes in credit decisioning or repayment operations. 4. Forecasting & Scenario Support Partner with Finance and Commercial teams to support variance analysis and monthly forecast inputs. Model how shifts in repayment or eligibility rates flow through to portfolio loss and profitability. 5. Tooling, Frameworks & Collaboration Work with Analytics Engineering to improve risk data pipelines and metric definitions. Build reusable analysis templates and frameworks for monitoring across multiple credit products. Communicate insights clearly to non technical stakeholders, transforming complex findings into actionable decisions. About You Experience & Skills 4+ years analytics or data science experience in a risk focused role, ideally within fintech, lending, or payments Excellent SQL skills Fluency in Python (or R) for data analysis, modelling, and statistical testing Experience conducting large scale A/B experiments and interpreting results to drive product and business decisions Fluent in credit portfolio metrics - e.g. arrears buckets, roll rates, loss rate, yield/marginal loss - and how they tie to unit economics and P&L Hands on experience working with predictive models (e.g. credit, fraud, marketing), including interpreting metrics like AUC/Gini, calibration, PSI/CSI, drift Hands on experience with BI tools (e.g. Looker, Mode, Tableau) and data workflow tools (dbt, Airflow) Strong analytical rigour and the ability to translate findings into clear business recommendations Track record of taking analyses all the way through to shipped changes and measurable impact Nice to Have Exposure to credit risk or payments decisioning (eligibility, pricing, loss modelling, or fraud detection). Experience with model monitoring, feature engineering, or supporting ML deployment. Familiarity with US and/or UK consumer credit or payments regulations. What do you get for all your hard work?

If there's anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know. UK App access: The Cleo app is no longer downloadable in the UK (but only until next year). If you're an existing user, you'll still have access to the app. But some features won't be available (just for a little while). Why? 99% of our users are based in the US - where financial health is often overlooked. We've decided to shift our focus to where we can provide the most value and make the greatest impact for users who need it most. Then we'll be able to apply what we learn to better support our UK users in the future.
