We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:\nOne of the UK’s most exciting unicorns with a team of over 800 people\n\nAmong thefastest-growing tech companies in the UK\n\nProfitable since 2017\n\nBacked by top investors including Balderton Capital andGoldman Sachs\n\nLoved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)\n\nSo 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.\nWe’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.\nJoin us if you want to\nTake ownership: you are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1\n\nWork in small teams of exceptional people: Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions\n\nBuild the best technology in-house: we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting\n\nAbout the Role\nAs the Security Operations Lead, you will take strategic and operational ownership of Lendable’s internal SecOps capability and serve as the technical relationship owner of our external Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). You will act as our primary incident responder, with a strategic view on how Lendable’s operational defence should mature as we grow.\nThis is a high-impact, senior individual contributor role with a path to management. We are looking for a \"player-coach\" who can execute deep 2nd and 3rd-line technical analysis today, while strategically designing and building out our internal SecOps function and team over the coming year.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\n1. Incident Command & Advanced Analysis\nIncident Leadership: Serve as the primary Incident Commander for high-severity security escalations, coordinating cross-functional response efforts. You will have on-call responsibilities, but shared with the wider team.\n\nAdvanced Tier 2/3 Analysis: Act as the escalation point for technical investigations triggered by the MSSP first line team.\n\nCrisis & Resilience Simulation: Maintain and evolve Lendable’s Security Crisis Management plan, running regular tabletop exercises to ensure business-wide readiness for systemic and supply-chain risks.\n\n2. Vendor Governance & Operational Architecture\nMDR/MSSP Technical Governance: Serve as the ultimate authority over our external MSSP. Define KRIs/KPIs, run rigorous service reviews, and hold the provider to strict detection quality standards.\n\nDetection & Logging Strategy: Own Lendable's detection engineering roadmap. Ensure comprehensive, high-fidelity log ingestion pipelines across all corporate and cloud assets, focusing on minimising false positives and alert fatigue.\n\nAutomation-Driven Remediation: Oversee the vulnerability management lifecycle, partnering with IT and Engineering to drive automated remediation workflows rather than relying on manual tracking spreadsheets.\n\n3. Capability Architecture & Strategic Maturity\nThreat Intelligence: Develop a Threat Intel capability that translates external threats into actionable, proactive defences.\n\nCore Domain Ownership: Take operational security ownership across our foundational tech stack, continuously optimising our posture across domains such as EDR, Email Security, DLP, and IAM to prevent data exfiltration and identity-based attacks.\n\nCapability Scaling: Drive the technical roadmap for SecOps maturity. Systematically close visibility gaps, optimise operational metrics, and introduce AI-augmented capabilities (e.g., automated response playbooks).\n\nOrganic Function Growth: Design the future-state roadmap for the SecOps function. As you scale our technical capabilities, architect the requirement for team expansion, ensuring the team grows in lockstep with operational maturity.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nOperational Seniority: Extensive experience in modern Security Operations, specifically acting as an Incident Commander or Lead Responder in high-stakes environments.\n\nStrategic Vision: A clear, modern philosophy on how a SecOps function should run, prioritising automation and vendor optimisation over linear headcount growth.\n\nCloud-Native Literacy: Familiarity with modern tech stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines) and the ability to leverage automation (Python, scripting, or automation platforms) to optimise analyst workflows.\n\nThe \"Builder\" Mentality: You are highly comfortable executing as a senior IC on day one, with the presence and leadership maturity to transition into a team manager.\n\nInterview Process\nTA Screening Call\n\nHiring Manager Call\n\nTechnical Interview\n\nCulture Interview\n\nLife at Lendable\nWinning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies\n\nFlexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role. Hybrid roles require three days in-office weekly; fully remote roles include regular opportunities for in-person connection through socials and off-sites\n\nSocials & connection: opportunities and events to come together, socialise, and get to know each other beyond the office walls\n\nHealth coverage: support for your physical and mental wellbeing, including private health cover\n\nRetirement & savings: long-term financial wellbeing through retirement savings plans\n\nEmployee referral programme: earn a competitive bonus when you refer successful new team members\n\nOffice meals & snacks: enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, plus complimentary lunches prepared by in-house chefs on in-office days at select locations\n\nSustainable commuting: cycle-to-work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes available in select locations\n\nPlease note: The availability and details of specific benefits vary by location and role.
