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 700 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.

Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
As Compliance Associate, you'll join Zendable's US Compliance department in a role that supports two primary functions: supporting Legal & Compliance (L&C) leadership on cross-functional projects, and partnering with the Compliance Management System (CMS) team on program oversight. You’ll be primarily responsible for project managing strategic initiatives for L&C leadership and supporting the day-to-day rigor of the CMS — policies and procedures, training, monitoring and testing, complaints and issues management, and audits.
This is a role for someone who moves fast, thinks in systems, and is comfortable being the person who keeps a dozen moving pieces on track without losing sight of the regulatory details that matter. You'll bring an AI-first mentality to how you work, looking for ways to use tools and automation to move faster and surface insights that a manual process would miss.
You'll work closely with the CMS team as well as stakeholders across Legal, Risk, Product, and Zendable's bank partners.

Support complaints and issues management, analyzing data to spot trends and recurring root causes

What We Do
Lendable is a lending platform that makes borrowing money effortless. Using technology, we have trimmed the fat from the traditional loan application process. The result allows us to make an instant decision, offer personalised rates, and transfer funds within minutes. We look beyond applicants' credit score, offering loans to people with less-than-perfect credit histories, and charging them less than banks. This way, we provide fair rates to a wider range of borrowers. Once customers have accepted our quote, we deposit their loan within minutes. Because our technology is brand new. Unlike banks, who use huge systems built at a time when the world was different. The internet has made commerce faster, cheaper and safer. Time for finance to step up
