Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

The number of loan options for consumers has exploded in recent years, making credit assessment super important for companies offering these loans and giving Clearscore a big market to grow into

Traditionally, lenders had a more 'computer says no' approach when it came to making loan decisions. With the wealth of data now available on people, credit assessment can be made smarter

Clearscore's approach has been to add on innovative products outside of credit scoring, e.g. helping consumers understand how to improve their financial position and offering car and home insurance

Challenging work

Apr 2021

There is such a focus on diversity and inclusion. Our people and talent teams regularly reflect and run workshops on bias and how we can improve our hiring process and become more accessible to candidates of different backgrounds and expertise. We truly are a global workforce and I've been delighted to hear so many stories of the non-conventional career paths people have taken and the opportunities they've had here as a result.

From day 1, it is so clear what you can do to progress in your role or other functions across the business. I say this as managers actively encourage you to own your path and have a development plan in place so you can progress. The roles and progression structure is very clear so you have full awareness of how you can reach your personal aspirations. This is a place where you can make an impact at any level, you don't need to be a senior leader to have your thoughts heard.
