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 most exciting unicorns with a team of over 800 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 https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/lendable.co.uk)

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: 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: Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions
3. Build the best technology in-house: we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting

ABOUT THE ROLE

At Lendable, we're on a mission to brighten the financial futures of millions of Americans. Since launching our U.S. Credit Card in May 2024, we’ve been reshaping consumer credit by blending exceptional talent with cutting‑edge technology.

We’re looking for confident, motivated, and persuasive communicators who thrive on helping customers achieve financial stability. As part of this exciting new chapter, you’ll play a key role in defining and managing critical operational processes from start to finish, making a real impact every day

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, active listening and rapport-building abilities.
• You handle conflict gracefully, recover quickly from challenging interactions, and maintain composure.
• Comfortable with technology and quick to learn new software.
• Open to feedback, eager to improve, and adaptable to change in a fast‑paced environment.
• Enjoy solving problems independently, multitasking, and improving processes.
• Spanish Speaking, desirable but not essential.
