Product Manager (Operations)

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 thefastest-growing tech companies in the UK

• Profitable since 2017

• Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital andGoldman 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

• Take ownership: you are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1

• Work in small teams of exceptional people: Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions

• Build the best technology in-house: we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting

• Initiatives deliver measurable improvements in service levels, productivity, customer experience or cost efficiency.

• Ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to turn data into prioritised action.

• Experience defining measurable outcomes and using experimentation or pilots to validate solutions.

• Excellent written and verbal communication.

• Sound judgement when working with customer data, AI, automation, risk and compliance.

• A pragmatic, delivery-focused approach, balanced with long-term product thinking.

Desirable experience

• Experience in financial services, lending, cards, motor finance or another regulated environment.

• Experience with AI-enabled products, workflow automation or agent-assist tooling.

• Experience working across multiple markets or product lines.

• Familiarity with operational metrics such as service level, occupancy, handle time, resolution rate, quality and customer satisfaction.
