At Younited, we believe credit and banking should feel as simple, fast and transparent as everything else in your digital life.

So we build financial services that way. We combine technology, data and automation to rethink the way people borrow, pay, save and manage their money.

Today, more than 1.5 million customers trust us, and nearly 500 employees contribute to our growth across 4 European countries.

What we build

- Younited Credit – instant consumer credit, directly accessible to customers.
- Younited Pay – instalment payment and financing solutions embedded into our partners' customer journeys.
- Younited Cashback – cashback and personalised offers, enhanced by open banking data.
- Younited Bank – our everyday banking offering, currently available through helios by Younited and being expanded.

Our ambition is to build a financial partner people genuinely trust, combining simplicity, transparency and responsible finance. As a certified B Corp, we integrate social and environmental considerations into the way we build our business.

The 5 values we work by

- Make it simple - in the product, in the customer experience and in how we organise. Be transparent.
- Act as an entrepreneur - take ownership, play as a team, dare to try and accept failure.
- Innovate or die - challenge the status quo, however impossible it may seem.
- Faster is better - speed over perfection, alignment over debate.
- No limit - shoot for the moon, stay humble.

We give passionate problem-solvers the space to do their best work in diverse and inclusive teams across Europe, because that is how we build better financial products for our customers and partners.

Context 📄

The Credit Strategy Management team is at the heart of Younited’s strategy. Its mission is to support profitability while keeping risk levels within the established risk appetite, ensuring high-quality credit origination and continuously improving the decision system across the Personal Loans and Point of Sale businesses.

As Credit Strategy Manager, you will manage an assigned perimeter and help ensure that credit production meets business targets by customer segment, pricing and risk level.

Analyse current production and balance-sheet risk to determine whether performance is in line with target.
Formulate clear, data-driven recommendations based on your analyses.

3) Coordinate stakeholders and communicate insights

Act as a bridge between CPM, Operations, Risk teams and the relevant Business Unit, explaining origination performance and risk trends.
Contribute to the monthly risk cycle, Risk Committees, ongoing projects and the monthly risk report.
Communicate clearly with country CEOs, local Risk teams, CPM, ERM and senior stakeholders.
