YouLend is building the leading embedded finance platform for small businesses. We work with partners including Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Stripe and Square to give merchants fast, flexible access to funding.
We are growing quickly across the UK, Europe and the US. Our next stage of growth will come from scaling our largest partnerships, improving our lending products and investing in the right new products and markets.
About the role
The Strategy Lead will own a portfolio of YouLend’s most important growth priorities. The work will span commercial strategy, partner performance and lending product strategy, depending on where the biggest opportunities are.
You will be expected to identify and structure problems yourself, lead the analysis and decide how YouLend should respond. You will then work across Product, Risk, Data, Operations, Capital Markets and Partnerships to ensure the recommendation is delivered.
This is initially a senior individual contributor role. You will work directly with YouLend’s leadership team and senior stakeholders at our largest partners, with the opportunity to build a team as the function grows.
