About Lendable

\n

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:

\n

\n
• \nOne of the UK’s newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 people\n

\n

• \nAmong the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK\n

\n

• \nProfitable since 2017\n

\n

• \nBacked by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs\n

\n

• \nLoved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)\n

\n\n

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.

\n

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.

\n

\n
• \nTake 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\n

\n

• \nWork in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo\n

\n

• \nBuild the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting\n

\n\n
