Job Description

Acquisitions and Originations is Experian’s largest product domain. We provide the data and scores to support lenders to make credit decisions. Our aim is to be the Number One Bureau for Lenders and Consumers. We have ambitious plans to grow our core business whilst bringing new innovative data products which will help consumers to borrow easily and lenders to lend responsibly.

Acquisitions and Originations is unique amongst Experian’s product domains: as well as being a large business in its own right we provide the data platforms through which all Experian’s data products are shared. This means the Development Manager will have to work collaboratively with businesses across Experian, including Direct to Consumer, Software and our Identity and Fraud businesses.

We unlock the power of data to create opportunities for consumers, businesses and society. At life’s big moments – from buying a home or car, to sending a child to university, to growing a business exponentially by connecting it with new customers – we empower consumers and our clients to manage their data with confidence so they can maximize every opportunity. For more than 125 years, we’ve helped consumers and clients prosper, and economies and communities flourish – and we’re not done.
