The company Imagine a world where every small business has the power to thrive. That's the world we're building at iwoca. Small businesses aren't just statistics - they're the heartbeat of our communities, the character of our high streets, and the engine of our economy. Since 2012, we've revolutionised how these businesses access finance, turning what was once a lengthy, frustrating process into something remarkable: funding that's fast, flexible, and actually works for modern businesses. Our impact speaks for itself: we've provided billions in funding to over 150,000 businesses across Europe, making us one of the continent's leading fintech innovators. But we're just getting started. Our mission? To empower one million businesses with the financial tools they deserve. We combine cutting-edge technology and data science with genuine human understanding to make finance feel less like a barrier and more like a superpower. Whether it's managing cash flow or seizing unexpected opportunities, we ensure businesses get the funds they need - often within minutes. The team The Repeats team is responsible for the lending strategy and digital user experience of our recurring customers. They own all the product decisions that occur after a customer has taken their first funding. This includes the user journey for repeat customers, the eligibility and documents requirements for repeat applications, the offer terms (such as offered amount or pricing), among other things. The team continuously experiments with new product ideas and ensures these are delivered through an intuitive, high-performing digital experience. This involves close collaboration across engineering, product, data, and design to align offer strategy with customer needs and business goals.
