Credit Assessor

About Skip
We are a mission-driven Australian home loan lender built to fast-track Aussies into home ownership. We help Australians ‘skip to the owning bit’ with 2% deposit home loans. Buying a home shouldn’t mean putting life on pause to save a massive deposit while property prices sprint ahead. We’re here to build a fairer, faster path to home ownership, so more people can stop paying their landlord’s mortgage and start paying their own.

We’re backed by leading US venture funds, global credit partners, and prominent Australian investors including Daniel Petre AO and Ed Robinson. We originate low-deposit home loans and are scaling our loan book aggressively, with our loan book being multiples larger than last year. We have major distribution partnerships live, strong credit performance, and expanding product lines - we’re entering a true hyper-growth phase.

We’re a team that moves quickly, obsesses over the customer experience, and backs each other to do the best work of our careers. If you like solving meaningful problems, shipping real change, and taking ownership, you’ll feel at home here.
