About Abound

We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.

And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.

Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.

We're looking for a customer-focused individual to join us as a Collections Advisor. This position requires an important balance of both credit and conduct risk as we focus on delivering the right outcomes for our customers based on their individual circumstances, always. No prior collections or financial services experience is required — we'll provide full training on regulation, systems and processes; what matters most is the right attitude, judgement and attention to detail.

You will be working as part of a small but rapidly expanding team in our Milton Keynes office. This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in our Milton Keynes office, with flexibility on the other 2. There will also be a requirement to attend our central London office once a month (fully expensed).

The ideal candidate will have excellent attention to detail and be comfortable following documented procedures consistently, ensuring that all customers are treated fairly and receive the appropriate outcomes. Tasks also include updating account details, maintaining accurate records, and escalating cases to senior staff if necessary. There will also be a requirement to identify and support customers who may show signs of vulnerability.

Who you are

- A confident, customer-focused communicator, comfortable handling sensitive or difficult conversations with empathy and professionalism

- No prior collections or financial services experience necessary — full training will be provided on FCA regulation (including CONC7), DPA requirements and our internal processes

- Willing to learn about the broad range of debt solutions, e.g. Payment Arrangements, DMPs, IVAs, Trust Deeds, DROs, Breathing Space etc.

- An interest in understanding customer vulnerability and how to identify and manage it — training and support provided

- Comfortable working with numbers, and willing to learn to interpret statements and ledgers to help resolve customer queries

- Familiar with Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Teams)

- A very strong attention to detail and a high regard for consistency

- A strong team player who will help as required to deliver tasks within the team's SLAs

- Comfortable working towards KPIs, targets and quality assurance requirements, with support from the team

What you'll be doing

- Handling multiple live customer chats

- Receiving and making telephony calls from customers requiring assistance with their loans

- Supporting our omni-channels, i.e. live web chat, email, SMS and phone (inbound and outbound), including dialler software

- Assessing customer affordability using our industry-leading Open Banking software

- Agreeing and setting affordable payment plans with customers

- Processing on our systems when customers advise they are pursuing alternative debt solutions

- Setting promises to pay received through digital channels

- Dealing with third-party partners, i.e. field suppliers, debt collection agencies, insolvency portfolio managers

- Thinking analytically and giving suggestions and ideas as part of continuous improvement

- Escalating more complex or higher-risk cases to senior colleagues as needed

What we offer

- Everyone owns a piece of the company — equity

- Hybrid working, with 3 days a week in the office

- 25 days’ holiday a year, plus 8 bank holidays

- 2 paid volunteering days per year

- One month paid sabbatical after 4 years

- Employee loan

- Free gym membership

- Team wellness budget to be active together — set up a yoga class, a tennis lesson or go bouldering

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
