• Support NPL sales and divestments, including analytical and reporting deliverables

• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders such as Risk Control, Finance, Collections, Underwriting, and Data Engineering

• Work with external debt collection agencies and partners on data extraction, quality, and reporting.
  

We are looking for you who:

• 3+ years of experience in analytical roles and NPL-related fields, preferably within banking or credit risk.

• A degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g. engineering, economics, statistics, or similar)

• Strong technical skills in one or more of: SAS, SQL, Python, R

• A self-driven, solution-oriented mindset with strong prioritization skills

• Excellent collaboration and stakeholder management abilities

• Hands-on experience with statistical methods such as A/B testing or regression analysis

• Experience working across Nordic markets

To thrive and perform well in the role, we believe that:

You enjoy taking the lead, improving ways of working, and developing how data is used to drive better outcomes. You build trust through clear communication and collaboration, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and can balance strategic thinking with attention to detail. If you thrive in complex challenges, value high ownership, and want to make a visible impact at one of Europe’s largest specialist banks – this role is for you.

In addition to this, it is important to us that you recognize yourself in our values: we are wholehearted, we collaborate and we take the lead.
