Save Job

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 newest unicorns with a team of just over 600 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)

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

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

Work in small teams of exceptional people,

who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo

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

About the Role We’re looking for a highly analytical, commercially-minded

Senior Growth Manager

to join our U.S. team.

In this role, you will

own the growth performance of several U.S. personal loans acquisition channels end-to-end

— from strategy through execution — directly influencing Lendable’s long-term trajectory in the U.S. market. You’ll be responsible for identifying, scaling and optimising acquisition channels, managing partner relationships, and translating data into actionable decisions across

pricing, credit, product and marketing performance .

This is a

high-impact, high-autonomy role . You will operate like a “CEO” over your channels — balancing the tradeoffs between

volume, unit economics, credit quality, and user experience

to deliver

resilient, sustainable growth .

You’ll join a small, ambitious, fast-paced team of problem solvers — not traditional marketers. This role is best suited for someone who thrives on ownership, uses data to make decisions, and is comfortable operating independently.

What you’ll be doing

Own the economics and growth strategy for key acquisition channels

for U.S. personal loans. You will operate as the local “CEO” with real decision-making authority to drive resilient growth

Lead and manage relationships with marketing affiliates, partners, and suppliers . You will lead on negotiating performance, monitoring quality, and ensuring a strong pipeline of scalable opportunities

Balance tradeoffs between cost, credit, and product experience . You will make sharp decisions across CAC, approval rates, risk outcomes, and conversion to maximise long-term contribution margin

Be hands-on with data . You will drive your own analysis, uncover insights, and generate recommendations using SQL and analytics tooling…not just review dashboards

Manage and improve the acquisition funnel end-to-end , optimising for volume, cost and credit quality; spot performance changes quickly and take action

Deeply understand key third-party and partner ranking algorithms / channel mechanics, and feed insights into pricing, credit policy and product strategy

Work closely with

Credit, Product, and Engineering

to drive the roadmap in areas impacting funnel performance (pricing levers, eligibility logic, decisioning, UX flows)

Identify new opportunities for growth by combining

quantitative insight and qualitative judgement , forming a clear view on how to capture more of the market and how to measure success

What we’re looking for Essential

Strong hands-on analytics experience — you are comfortable pulling data yourself and using it to drive business decisions ( strong SQL experience required,

Python is an added bonus )

Proven commercial ownership: experience driving growth, launching initiatives, and improving performance against measurable outcomes

Track record of

managing external stakeholders

(partners, affiliates, vendors) and holding them accountable to performance

Strong judgement and bias to action: can navigate ambiguity, prioritise ruthlessly, and make smart tradeoffs. Acts urgently with an ownership mindset.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — can influence cross-functionally and up to senior leadership

Relentless curiosity and willingness to challenge the status quo

Desirable

Experience driving resilient growth in the US personal loans market, ideally at a FinTech

Experience managing direct marketing channels (direct mail, cross sell, etc.)

Experience working at or with a major U.S. affiliate (like Credit Karma)

Life at Lendable

The opportunity to scale up one of the world’s

most successful fintech companies .

Best-in-class compensation , including equity.

You can work from home every

Monday and Friday

if you wish - on the other days, those based in the UK come together IRL at our

Shoreditch office in London

to be together, build and exchange ideas.

Enjoy a

fully stocked kitchen

with everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks in the office every Tuesday-Thursday.

We care for our

Lendies’ well-being

both physically and mentally, so we offer coverage when it comes to private health insurance

equal-opportunity

employer and are looking to make Lendable the most inclusive and open workspace in London
