Manager - Credit and Commercial Analytics

As Raylo continues to scale its category-defining tech subscription platform, we’re building a high-performing Strategy & Analytics team to power smarter, faster decision-making across the business. This new Strategy and Analytics Manager role will sit within the Approval Rate team, focused on optimising how we approve customers and grow sustainably, across both consumer and business products.

You’ll be joining a curious, fast-moving and collaborative group of strategists and analysts, working at the intersection of product, risk, data, and commercial teams. This role will offer direct ownership of initiatives with meaningful impact on revenue and unit economics, especially as we scale into new markets and build out new decisioning infrastructure. This is an opportunity to work on technically interesting, analytically complex, and commercially important challenges, with the potential to grow into a senior strategic leader in the business over time.

What You’ll Do

• Own strategic initiatives to improve approval rate outcomes across Raylo’s lending and leasing products.
• Use SQL and analytics to investigate drivers of performance and deliver insight-led change.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Growth, Risk, and Operations teams to shape and implement better decisioning.
• Drive improvements in data quality, insight generation, and scalable tracking systems.
• Help shape the roadmap for risk, decisioning, and fraud strategy, including new internal and external data sources.
• Partner with engineering teams on technical design and implementation of decisioning logic.
• Lead innovation in how we monitor and manage approval performance, risk, and automation.
• Influence how Raylo makes key commercial decisions through thoughtful, well-structured analysis.

You’ll Succeed With

• 3+ years of experience in a strategy, analytics, credit risk, or product data role, ideally in a high-growth, data-rich business.
• A 2:1 or higher from a top university, preferably in a STEM or quantitative discipline.
• Strong SQL proficiency, capable of writing complex queries and using them to independently generate insights.
• Experience with Python and/or modern analytics stacks (e.g. data warehouses, dashboards, monitoring tools) is a plus.
• Proven ability to use data to drive end-to-end commercial outcomes.
• Experience building scalable systems or frameworks to solve analytical or decisioning problems.
• A structured thinker with a strategic mindset and a bias for action.
• Excellent communication skills, confident working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Passion for innovation, experimentation, and tackling ambiguous problems.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, scaling environment with shifting priorities.
