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 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: 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

About the role

Zable is about to become the face of Lendable. We’re rebranding the company and product, significantly increasing our D2C marketing investment, and building out a marketing function under our newly appointed CMO. It’s one of the most exciting marketing builds in UK fintech right now, backed by real financial strength, a large customer base and a product people love.

Partnerships and sponsorships will be central to how we grow, and we’re building the team to make that happen. As our Growth Partnerships Manager, you’ll shape the strategy and the budget, not just manage the day-to-day. Reporting to the Head of Growth Partnerships, you’ll define our commercial approach, decide where partnership spend goes, and take every deal from first conversation to live activation: agreeing terms, making sure campaigns land well, and keeping partners engaged. You’ll also make the case for each investment, with the data to back it, to senior leadership.

This is a senior seat for someone who enjoys both the creative and the analytical sides of partnerships. You’ll have real budget responsibility, model payback economics, and bring colleagues with you on the big calls. If you think about CPA, rev share and LTV:CAC as naturally as you think about relationships, you’ll feel at home here.
