Collections Strategy Analyst

Full-Time No working from home possible
J
  • We’re looking for a curious, data-driven analyst to join our Collections & Recoveries team
  • Working closely with the Collections Strategy Manager, you’ll help design, test and monitor the strategies that determine how we support credit card customers in financial difficulty — from early delinquency through to charge-off and post-charge-off recoveries
  • This is a hands‑on role: you’ll spend a lot of your time in SQL and Python, building analysis pipelines, running champion/challenger tests and turning data into clear, actionable insight
  • Strategy analysis & optimisation:
  • Support the design and ongoing optimisation of collections strategies across all delinquency stages (pre-delinquency, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90+, charge-off and post charge-off). Analyse segmentation, treatment paths and forbearance options to identify improvement opportunities and translate them into clear strategy recommendations
  • Test & learn programme:
  • Help build and run a structured champion/challenger and A/B test programme across contact strategies, digital journeys, repayment options and strategy rules. Define success metrics, size tests correctly and produce statistically robust evaluation packs that drive confident decisions
  • Data & MI:
  • Build and maintain repeatable analysis pipelines, define consistent metric definitions and produce regular MI and performance packs covering key KPIs: roll rates, cure rates, promise‑to‑pay kept, contact and response rates, net loss and recoveries
  • Portfolio monitoring & deep dives:
  • Conduct regular portfolio monitoring and analytical deep dives — segmentation, vintage/cohort analysis, behavioural score performance and payment hierarchy effects — and present findings clearly, with prioritised recommendations for the Collections Strategy Manager
  • Delivery support:
  • Support the end‑to‑end delivery of strategy changes: help document decision logic and user stories, assist with UAT, support go‑live monitoring and contribute to governance and audit requirements. Work with Operations, Credit Risk, Product and Data teams day‑to‑day
