Solutions Analyst – Decision Services

TransUnion's Job Applicant Privacy Notice

Team Overview

The UK Decision Services team delivers software solutions to a range of clients, including banks, building societies, and retailers. Our solutions assess the risk of offering credit facilities - such as personal loans, mortgages, credit cards, or overdrafts - to customers. We use data from credit reference agencies (organizations that collect and provide information about individuals’ credit histories), such as TransUnion, as well as other sources, to inform these assessments. Clients rely on the outcomes of these assessments to decide whether to offer or adjust credit facilities for their customers. By providing reliable and timely solutions, we help our clients make informed lending decisions and enhance their customers’ financial experiences.
Our team is committed to delivering software solutions of the highest quality, on schedule and within budget. After implementation, we continue to support our clients by resolving incidents (unexpected technical issues), answering queries, and making changes to improve their solutions. This ongoing support ensures clients can confidently manage their credit offerings and deliver positive outcomes for their customers. This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week.
