Graduate - Operations Transformation Associate

Lendable is on a mission to make consumer finance amazing: faster, cheaper, and friendlier. 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.

1. 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

2. Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo

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

We’re looking for a super-smart and ambitious graduate who is not only highly numerate and analytical, but also enthusiastic about building strong relationships and driving meaningful change. Join us to apply your analytical expertise and people skills to help shape the future of our operations and prepare for a path towards Operational Leadership.

This two-year, full-time programme offers hands-on experience across our core customer-facing Operations teams. It’s an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the workings of a fast-growing fintech business, contributing to real projects with measurable impact.
