What you'll do

  • Own the value of the existing customer base
  • Deliver quarterly targets for Active Customers, Active Balance per Customer and returning originations, measured in customer value (loan net present value, LTV12) and in volume
  • Own the customer value model with Finance and Credit Risk
  • Maintain the value formula: fees, net interest margin after funding cost, add-on revenue, expected loss, early repayment, cost to serve, discounting; make it the objective that every journey, offer and incentive is judged against
  • Decide where value is created: rank the levers by value (timing of the next loan, top-ups, add-on attach, refinancing, early-delinquency cure); price every incentive on break-even logic and stop what destroys value
  • Run Braze as the orchestration backbone, with journeys judged on value against a holdout
  • Act as business owner of the decisioning layer (possibly agentic) that Bondora intends to build in-house with a dedicated data science and AI engineering team: set its objective in value, define its constraints and offer library, and decide which use cases it takes on first
  • Own the loop: data → decision → orchestration → delivery → outcome → data
  • Prove incrementality in money: every major programme runs against a control or holdout; uplift is reported as incremental value, not as opens, clicks or applications
  • Lead and develop the team: three CRM Managers (Growth, Funnel, Servicing; two still to be hired), working with a Data PM; stay hands-on
  • Drive cross-functional partnerships with Finance, Credit Risk, Product, Analytics, Engineering, Legal and country managers, pushing prioritisation toward decisions

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years in CRM, lifecycle or customer value management, of which at least 3 in consumer lending, banking, cards, BNPL or another credit or recurring-revenue business, accountable for the value of a customer base
  • Customer economics: has built or owned a customer value (LTV or NPV) model and used it as an optimisation target; can derive it from first principles, including funding cost, expected loss, early repayment, cost to serve and discounting
  • Credit literacy: risk-based pricing, affordability, suppression; has a real example of holding back revenue for risk reasons
  • Incrementality: designs holdouts and controls, and reports results in money
  • Hands-on with a modern CRM platform (Braze preferred)
  • Can build journeys themselves and direct operators
  • 4+ years leading a team, including hiring

Nice to have

  • Experience as business owner of a next-best-action or AI decisioning model, ideally one built in-house with data scientists
