Who are Experian?
We are the world’s leading global information services company. During life’s big moments – from buying a home or a car, to sending a child to college, to growing a business by connecting with new customers – we empower consumers and our clients to manage their data with confidence. We help individuals to take financial control and access financial services, businesses to make smarter decisions and thrive, lenders to lend more responsibly, and organisations to prevent identity fraud and crime.

We have 20,000 people operating across 44 countries and every day we’re investing in new technologies, talented people, and innovation to help all our clients maximise every opportunity. We are listed on the London Stock Exchange (EXPN) and are a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

Our approach to flexible working
We care about work that works, whether that’s about where you work or adjusting your hours to fit better with your life. Our flexible working practices, including our hybrid working model where you can split your working time between the office and your home, support our belief that this balance brings long-lasting benefits for our business as well as ensuring that our people can balance successful careers with their commitments and interests outside of work. So that you can love where you work, please discuss what works for you with your recruiter during the hiring process.

Accepting you, for you.
We want you to feel accepted for who you are and to feel safe, valued and to help us build a culture of true belonging. Experian is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and we take affirmative action to create a more inclusive and equitable world of work. We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, race, ethnicity, faith or belief, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, Veteran status or whether you’re pregnant or on family leave.

PayDashboard’s multi-award winning and trademarked SmartSlipTM portal is transforming the experience of payroll processors, employers and employees.

We enable businesses to give their employees a better payday experience, linking their financial wellbeing to their income and providing the tools they need to understand their pay, their payslip, and how to make their net pay go further via Government allowances and tax breaks.

Having recently joined The Experian Group, Pay Dashboard is scaling in the UK fast. We’ve got 500,000 users now, and a goal to achieve 2 million users within two years.

In this role you get the best of both worlds. You’ll have the support and benefits of being part of a FTSE 100 Employer in Experian, but working in a small team as part of a new business unit with PayDashboard.
