Do you want to put your mark and have significant impact on a growing fintech company? Would you like to combine your expertise and interest within both credit risk and tech, and play a central role in the establishment of an e-money bank? We are now looking for an experienced credit risk profile for our newly established role as Head of Credit for Ageras Group.

Who are we?

Ageras Group is an ambitious, young and fast-paced group of fintech companies with a shared mission to enable success for micro-businesses. We are on an amazing growth journey, and will soon be expanding our business with a new unit – an e-money bank.

Starting out, you will join our growing Finance & Admin team consisting of 11 colleagues, and report directly to our CFO. As our new e-money bank is up and running, you will join a newly established banking team where you will own the credit risk function and report to the e-bank director.

What will you be doing?

As our Head of Credit, you will play a key role in our journey towards becoming an e-money institution. Constituting the credit function, your role will entail both operational and strategic tasks. Together with our developers, you will play an important role in building a digital credit assessment tool. However, until the tool is up and running, you will be the one responsible for all operational credit risk activities, including conducting manual credit assessment of customers. As these tasks gradually lessens, your focus will shift onto owning and driving the Credit function in its entirety.

More specifically, you will:

• Provide requirements and design inputs, particularly with regards to credit risk recognition, measurement and its reporting as part of the core team developing the digital credit assessment tool

• Implement a credit risk management framework including ongoing identification, assessment, monitoring and reporting key credit risk exposure

• Manually research and evaluate client’s creditworthiness and create credit scoring models (until the credit tool is up and running)

• Establish and review credit policies and standards in order to ensure that these reflect the best practice and regulate the risk assets of the e-money bank

• Monitor the performance of corporate loan portfolios to ensure they comply with our credit risk strategies, policies and manuals

• Devise and implement data driven strategies to optimize portfolio performance and credit risk

• Use data to balance and optimize account volumes/growth targets with credit risk and customer quality

What will you bring to the table?

As our ideal candidate, you probably have a background within the financial industry – either from a larger financial group or from a smaller tech company focusing on financial solutions. You are ambitious and thrive when being your own manager, and are excited about the opportunity to shape the credit function and put a real mark on our company.

In addition to your extensive skillset within credit risk and finance, we also expect you to have a passion for (and preferably knowledge within) technology, and thus the ability to communicate with and constructively collaborate with our developers.

In terms of professional qualifications, you have:

• About 5 years of experience within credit risk

• Hands-on experience with credit risk assessment of small and medium-sized companies

• A BSc/MSc within Finance, Business or related field

• Excellent communication skills in English, in addition to near-native skills in Danish

What can we offer?

At Ageras Group, we take fun seriously, because motivated Agerians equal happy clients and partners. We go the extra mile to ensure that our employees come motivated and happy to work and thrive in our dynamic, international work environment. Our modern, open office space, in the heart of Copenhagen, creates an inspiring work atmosphere; we serve probably the best lunch in town, drink very decent coffee and have fun Friday bars. Together we believe we can achieve great success and we are on a mission to conquer the world.

So what now?

Since you have read this far, we assume that we in some ways have caught your attention. Now we would love for you to catch ours, and that you can easily do by sending us your resumé and a (short) text telling us why you quite possibly could be our new colleague.

A recruitment process at Ageras Group usually looks something like this:

All applications are continuously evaluated, but you can expect to hear from us within 4 weeks at the latest.
