About Selina

At Selina Finance, our mission is to provide exceptional value with simple and flexible financial products. We’re achieving this by building a next-generation digital lender targeting homeowners across the UK. More than £2tn of equity value is locked up in UK homes, while homeowners still rely on high-interest-rate consumer loans, credit cards, or overdrafts. We offer a financing product unlike anything else out there, one that is as flexible as a current account, as affordable as a mortgage, and as easy to apply for as a consumer loan.


We are building an incredible team and culture of high performance, development, reward and recognition, ready for the next phase of our adventure, and this is where you come in!


About the Role

We are seeking a Data Analyst with 1–2 years of experience to join our growing Credit Risk and Data team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with data to generate insights, support decision-making, and build scalable reporting solutions. You will help transform raw data into actionable intelligence, supporting the development of new credit strategies, performance monitoring, and business initiatives.


You’ll work closely with Credit Risk, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure data is accurate, accessible, and effectively used to inform both strategic and operational decisions.


What will you be doing?

  • Collect, clean, and structure data from internal systems and third-party sources.
  • Build and maintain dashboards, reports, and automated data pipelines for tracking credit and business performance.
  • Analyse customer behaviour, portfolio trends, and decision outcomes to identify risks and opportunities.
  • Translate analytical findings into clear recommendations for Credit Risk and Product stakeholders.
  • Support testing and monitoring of new credit policies, strategies, and decisioning engines.
  • Ensure data quality, consistency, and compliance with governance standards.

You're a great fit if you

  • Have spent a couple of years working hands-on with data analysis or business intelligence
  • Know SQL inside-out; you have used it to retrieve and structure data. It’s also desirable if you have used Python for analysis and automation, but it's not mandatory.
  • Have experience with data visualisation tools (e.g., Lightdash, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or Google Data Studio).
  • Acquired the ability to explain findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders and have been praised for your strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Naturally curious; you enjoy digging beneath the surface of problems, asking the right questions, and uncovering insights others may miss.
  • Show initiative; you don’t just wait to be told what to do, but proactively look for ways to improve data quality, reporting processes, and decision-making.
  • Thrive on stakeholder interaction; you enjoy collaborating across departments, building relationships, and translating data into a language that helps others make better decisions.

You won’t be a great fit if you

  • Feel most comfortable in big teams with rigid processes, rather than in a fast-paced environment where things are still taking shape.
  • If you are not ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the nitty-gritty of countless unstructured databases.
  • Find it difficult to take ownership when things are ambiguous and the way ahead isn’t fully mapped out.
  • If your goal is to work solely in financial analysis.

What we offer

  • £45,000 base salary, dependent on experience
  • 25 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays
  • 30 days’ work-from-anywhere allowance
  • Bi-annual Bonus (discretionary)
  • Volunteering allowance
  • Growth Shares
  • Annual L&D budget
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • 3% pension contribution
  • Monthly socials
  • Free access to mental health support via ‘Spill’
  • A choice of benefits that work for you, courtesy of our benefits platform, ‘Thanks Ben’
  • Annual £60 cycle allowance for Santander cycles or Evans (via ‘Thanks Ben’)
  • Workplace Nursery Benefit, allowing eligible nursery costs to be paid via salary sacrifice
  • Annual Train Ticket Loan Scheme

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
