About Elect Capital Elect Capital is changing how SMEs access funding. We provide fast, flexible working capital loans, business loans, and merchant cash advances — no red tape, no slow decisions. Live across the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US, and scaling fast, we give SMEs the speed and flexibility traditional lenders can't.

🎯 Our Mission

We exist to give SMEs the capital and confidence to grow — fast, fair, and friction-free. Every ambitious business deserves a real shot at growth, not months of paperwork. We've built lending for speed, without cutting corners on fairness. When SMEs win, we win.

  • Work closely with sales and our broker partners to support fast decisions and clean execution
  • Escalate edge cases and complex scenarios to senior underwriters or credit leadership
  • Maintain accurate underwriting documentation and CRM records
  • Contribute insight and feedback to help refine credit policy over time

🔍 What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years' credit assessment or underwriting experience in SME or commercial lending
  • Experience in unsecured, short-term SME underwriting
  • Confident analysing bank statements, open banking data and financials to assess serviceability and cash flow
  • Working knowledge of ATO, ASIC, PPSR and credit bureau (Equifax/illion) checks
  • Highly organised — nothing gets missed, nothing gets dropped
  • Thrives on pace and volume without sacrificing accuracy
  • Clear, commercial communicator with sales and broker partners

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.
