Ensuring financing programmes comply with relevant federal and state consumer lending regulations, including TILA and Regulation Z.Developing lender scorecards and reporting financing performance and portfolio health to senior leadership. Working closely with Sales, Marketing and Operations to align financing strategy with wider revenue and growth objectives.

Why Consider This Opportunity? This is an opportunity to join a well-established, successful and growing US business where consumer financing has a direct impact on revenue, customer acquisition and future growth.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
