We are currently seeking a highly skilled Credit Analyst for a newly created, high-profile role within our client's team. This is a fantastic opportunity and should appeal if you:

• Reporting & Process Mapping: Evaluate and define reporting requirements related to the Credit Insurance Policy and assist in process mapping to enhance policy effectiveness.
• Audit & Compliance: Manage audit requirements within Credit Services, ensuring documentation is accurate and up-to-date.
• Risk Management: Assist in regular reviews of the insured customer portfolio, ensure coverage is maximised, and manage credit insurance alerts, taking appropriate risk mitigation actions.
• Policy & Procedure Adherence: Work with credit control teams to ensure compliance with credit insurance policies and procedures.

But as with any newly created role, your remit is very likely to spread into additional areas in time
