AREA42 seeks a Commercial Underwriter with a strong understanding of business performance indicators across a broad spectrum of business types and industries.
Our TERMS.tech product is a major fintech / tradetech innovation, bringing payment terms to B2B marketplaces. Our mission is to reshape the way marketplace operators allow their business customers to pay, and their sellers to get paid, through our proprietary tech and unrivalled access to real-time credit risk data. Conceptually, we make it possible for customers of online B2B marketplaces to benefit from payment terms, like they would expect from traditional B2B distributors or vendors. TERMS.tech is both a payment orchestrator, a liquidity provider, and a next-gen trade credit underwriter.

- Managing relations with internal stakeholders (customer success officer, operations officer) in order to guarantee a coherent and professional service level
- Create and submit business cases for policy exceptions requiring approval by senior management
