The Credigy Experience
Credigy offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage through Cigna — with Credigy covering a significant portion of premiums — plus STD, LTD, and basic life insurance at no cost to you. You’ll also have access to a 401(k) with company match, generous PTO, paid parental leave, volunteer time off through Credigy Cares, and a range of workplace perks designed to support how you work best — from a thoughtfully equipped office environment to the technology and tools that help you do your best work. Beyond the benefits, you’ll join a team recognized year-over-year as a Top Workplace nationally and in Atlanta, with a personalized Flex Werk program, real opportunities for career growth, and a culture built around people who are bold, curious, and supportive — plus the chance to build the data governance foundation that Credigy’s analytics and AI will rely on for years to come.
A Note to Applicants
If this role excites you but you don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a collaborative spirit just as much as direct experience.
Where & How You’ll Work
This role is based at Credigy’s corporate headquarters in Norcross, GA. From day one, you’ll work with your manager to build a personalized flexibility arrangement through Credigy’s Flex Werk program — because we believe the best work happens when people have the support and autonomy to work in a way that works for them.
