Credit Team Manager - Maroochydore

Lead a high performing credit team while delivering better outcomes for customers and the business

Your new companyThis established Australian lender has spent decades helping customers access asset finance solutions that fall outside traditional lending models. Through a common-sense approach to lending, the business focuses on understanding each customer's individual circumstances rather than relying solely on automated decision-making. Following significant investment in technology, operational improvements and business transformation, the organisation is entering an exciting phase of growth. With expanding broker partnerships, growing customer channels and ambitious plans for the future, this is an opportunity to join a business where your contribution will genuinely influence the next stage of its success.
Your new role
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Credit Manager looking to lead a growing function, a Senior Credit Analyst ready to take the next step into leadership, or a lending professional from an asset finance, commercial finance or broader financial services background who has proven people leadership experience and is looking to transition into a credit leadership role.

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
