Introduction

Every employer is not the same and WHO you work for and what that environment looks like is the difference between ANY job and a GREAT job. Our client is a regional mortgage and savings provider and their mission is to develop their staff, technology, customers and brand, placing themselves at the heart of the communities they serve, to make a real difference. And they are winning a lot of awards so must be doing something right!

Our client is based in the North East and they are recruiting for a Head of Prudential & Credit Risk to join their team. Whilst there will be a requirement to be in the office from time to time so you need to be in the North East area, you can work mainly from home if you so wish.

Requirements for the Head of Prudential & Credit Risk:

This is a great opportunity for someone with existing knowledge of the prudential & credit risks that a mortgage lender faces, combined with strong data analytical skills and the ability to present to senior stakeholders, incl. Board level. It would suit someone looking to progress their career from a snr credit risk role or indeed someone looking to move from a bigger lender and to be a 'bigger fish in a smaller pond'. In return, you will get the support and guidance to become an expert in your field and exposure to things you just would not get in a bigger lender at this level
