Description
Do you enjoy working with numbers, spotting inconsistencies, and understanding how financial information supports financing decisions?
Then this could be the right opportunity for you.
As we build our new team in Berlin, we are looking for analytical, detail-oriented and motivated individuals who are excited to take ownership, learn and grow with us.
At YouLend, you will work at the intersection of financial data analysis, credit eligibility and operational processes. You will review financing applications from German businesses, analyse bank transactions and ensure our Credit Decision teams have accurate and reliable information to support their underwriting decisions.
What makes this opportunity different?
You don't need years of experience in credit or finance. What matters most to us is your analytical mindset, attention to detail, problem-solving ability and willingness to learn.
YouLend is a fast-growing international FinTech company specialising in embedded finance.
We enable leading e-commerce platforms and payment service providers, including eBay, Amazon, Shopify and Stripe, to offer flexible financing solutions to their business customers.
Headquartered in London, with international teams and the backing of the Banking Circle Group and EQT, we combine the agility of a technology-driven business with the strength of an established international organisation.
We are now building our team in Berlin and are looking for people who want to do more than simply follow processes. We value individuals who think critically, take initiative and actively contribute to improving the way we work.
