Senior Risk Analyst - Decision Analytics

ABOUT US

We have been on a mission to provide small and medium businesses (SMEs) with accessible and responsive finance since 2007. SMEs account for most businesses worldwide and are critical contributors to job creation and global economic development. They represent about 90% of businesses and more than 50% of employment worldwide. However, more than three quarters (77%) of SME businesses last year were unable to secure traditional bank financing they desperately needed to grow and thrive. This has created a $5 trillion funding gap for SMEs globally.

That’s where Liberis steps in! To best help small businesses, Liberis has built the leading global embedded finance platform. Through this platform, Liberis provides partners with the technology and financial solutions necessary to offer personalized and accessible funding to their small business customers.

To date with ~20 global strategic partners and direct reach to more than 1 million small businesses, Liberis has provided $1 bn of funding in over 50,000 transactions, enabling more than 100,000 jobs to be created and saved.

We are in a very exciting period of growth, both within the UK and internationally, with teams based in London, Nottingham, USA, and Scandinavia. As we continue to grow, we are looking for talented and ambitious individuals to join us to reshape business finance.   Liberis and Blenheim Chalcot   Liberis was founded and is backed by Blenheim Chalcot, the UK's leading digital venture builder. This powerful partnership provides us with a unique advantage, combining our fintech agility with the strategic support and deep expertise of a company renowned for building and scaling disruptive digital businesses. As a key part of the Blenheim Chalcot portfolio, we benefit from a vibrant ecosystem of collaboration and innovation, placing us at the forefront of the embedded finance revolution.
