As Head of Funding Services, you'll report to the Corporate Finance Director and take ownership of building a multi-lender, multi-product financing strategy that underpins our Group ambition.

Alongside this, you'll play a leading role in designing, testing and scaling new credit propositions. Working closely with our Foundry team, you'll run test and learn pilots, refine propositions based on real world data, and prepare them for mass market launch. You'll bring a deep understanding of the UK credit landscape and emerging regulation to ensure our products are both compliant and commercially compelling. You'll also provide the leadership and oversight needed to strengthen the operational foundations of SFS. That includes guiding the SFS Operations team through a period of change, and ensuring we have the controls, processes and infrastructure needed to grow with confidence. From AR / IAR onboarding and due diligence to customer oversight and regulatory responsibilities such as Consumer Duty and financial promotions, you'll ensure our operations are robust, scalable and ready for the future. Finally, you'll act as a trusted partner across the organisation - collaborating with leaders in our Health Plan and Denplan lines of business, as well as Group functions including Finance, Internal Audit and More.
