Job description

About Lendable

Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money.We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:

• One of the UK’s newest unicorns with a team of just over 600 people
• Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK
• Profitable since 2017
• Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs
• Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)

So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.

We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.

Join us if you want to

1. Take ownership across a broad remit. You are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1
2. Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo
3. Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting

The role

We’re looking for a Senior Talent Partner to join our growing Talent team. You’ll take global, end-to-end ownership of technical hiring across Credit Analytics, Data Science, Marketing Analytics and AI Research. From briefings with hiring leaders, architecting sourcing strategies and seamless offer management, to leading on strategic initiatives, you’ll be a results-oriented force for hiring the best available talent at pace.

What you’ll be doing:

• You’ll uncover and engage best-in-market passive talent using creative, multi-channel sourcing approaches (and probably a few we haven’t seen yet!)
• You’ll thrive as a business partner to leaders, guiding stakeholder conversations and influencing decisions with data, insight, and empathy.
• You’ll navigate a scaling, fast-paced environment.
• You’ll hustle cross-functionally and champion collaborative hiring best practices at every turn.
• Through it all, you’ll interrogate our processes with a highly analytical mindset, always hunting for opportunities to hire not only faster but smarter.

What we offer:

• Real impact - see your work directly shape the trajectory of our company. Every hire you make here is a game-changer.
• Growth - join and learn from driven, smart teammates who push for better, daily.
• High agency - you’ll own your projects end-to-end, have a genuine seat at the table, and make meaningful decisions that matter—no red tape, just results.
• Low ego - we value humility, transparency, and the willingness to listen. No politics, just mutual respect and shared wins.
• Best of both - we’re a financially solid fintech with a start-up mentality. Enjoy the stability and resources alongside the pace, autonomy, and fun of a scrappy challenger brand.

What we’re looking for:

• You have extensive end-to-end technical hiring experience, within a fast-paced, in-house, product-led tech environment.
• You have experience hiring into other locations outside of the UK.
• You’re familiar with deep sourcing activities, with proven ability to identify, engage, and convert passive talent, using a range of tools, platforms and creative techniques.
• You have excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and push back, when needed, to drive positive outcomes for the business.
• You’re deeply data driven, you leverage analytics to improve hiring every day and are comfortable reporting on process and outcomes.
• You’re a proactive collaborator and relationship builder. The ultimate culture-add, ready to roll up your sleeves and make things happen.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication. You tailor your message to the audience, get buy-in and build trust at all levels.
• You have experience with applicant tracking systems (bonus if you can teach us a thing or two about Ashby!)

Interview process:

• Screening - a 30 minute call with one of our Talent Partners.
• Leadership interview - a 45 minute interview with our Head of Talent.
• Final interview - a 45 minute task with the Head of Talent and VP, People, followed by a 45 minute stakeholder interview.

Life at Lendable

• The opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies.
• Best-in-class compensation, including equity.
• You can work from home every Monday and Friday if you wish - on the other days, those based in the UK come together IRL at our Shoreditch office in London to be together, build and exchange ideas.
• Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks in the office every Tuesday-Thursday.
• We care for our Lendies’ well-being both physically and mentally, so we offer coverage when it comes to private health insurance
• We're an equal-opportunity employer and are looking to make Lendable the most inclusive and open workspace in London
