What we do. Electric Car Leasing
Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.
We’re continuing to build our in-house underwriting team at Octopus Electric Vehicles. The focus is currently on assessing B2B credit risk for our business contract hire and salary sacrifice products, but also includes consumer credit assessments.
We’re creating a new set of policies, processes and tech tools to efficiently and accurately assess credit risk. To help us do that, we’re hiring a Credit & Underwriting Specialist. This is a key hire, with potential to grow into a senior position within the business over time.
Our goal is to become an industry leader in our ability to provide quick credit line decisions to both B2B and consumer clients. We will build and invest in best in class technology and datasets to help you achieve that goal.
There will be an opportunity for the right candidate to shape the role and the structure of our new credit team.
