About The Role

The Credit department at Revolut is anything but ordinary. They design, develop, and launch credit products across the globe. The team manages our products from day one to the end — developing the back and front-end, the data science infrastructure, and then creating a local setup in each country with scalable risk management and portfolio management solutions.

As a Mortgage Credit Manager, you'll be responsible for designing the credit risk policies, procedures, and strategies around launching Revolut’s mortgage retail lending in Lithuania. This is a new-ish product in our portfolio, and as that book grows, you'll be managing validation of the underwriting strategy, as well as leading the charge for preventative and reactive actions to the market and product offering.
