Business Analyst

Bridgement is breaking down the barriers to access funding for small businesses across South Africa. Traditional loans from banks and other lenders have a slow application process, have strict criteria, require a lot of documentation, and inflexible terms. In contrast, we use tech and data science to offer flexible funding online, with a 2-minute application, no documentation required, and a decision in a matter of hours.

We’re a fast growing FinTech start-up, backed by Capricorn and the greater Yellowwoods group, best known for their investments in and ownership of Nandos, Hollard, Clientèle, Budget Group and Direct Axis. However, we are still near the start of our journey because we aim to issue over a billion Rand in finance to small businesses within the next 3 years.

As a Business Analyst you will be regularly analysing and processing applications, presenting to and working closely with our Credit Team.

You will be:

• Working with large, complex datasets, and regularly performing in-depth excel analysis.
• Ensuring data accuracy is maintained for appropriate credit decisions.
• Using our analytical and CRM systems to accurately process customer information.
• Verifying and analysing credit and financial information provided by customers.
• Identifying and flagging potential fraud attempts and concerns over financial health.
• Assisting our Credit Team with assessing applications and with credit decisioning.
• Helping our Engineering Team develop new processes for account management and application processing.
