Associate Product Manager

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

We're looking for someone early in their career who wants to learn how fintech products are actually built.

We are not necessarily looking for a traditional product manager, who is focused on managing roadmaps or writing tickets.

Instead, we are looking for a builder . Someone who does not take things at face value, who asks why things work the way they do and who enjoys challenging assumptions before jumping to solutions.

You will work closely with the Cards team to break down problems, test ideas and improve the product and business quickly. Many of the best improvements will come from questioning how things currently work and finding simpler or faster ways to do them.

If you are curious about fintech, lending and technology and want to see how a real product is built and scaled, this role gives you that exposure.

What you'll be doing

This role spans a wide range of work across the UK Cards product . Broadly, the work falls into two areas.

1. Running fast experiments

Many valuable improvements do not require engineering builds. We want someone who enjoys questioning how things work today and running quick experiments to test better approaches.

Examples include:

Testing different messaging, offers or incentives to increase engagement

Testing new acquisition features

Running manual experiments to validate ideas before committing engineering

2. Supporting product, tooling and AI initiatives

You will also support the team in improving how we operate and scale.

Examples include:

Maintaining and improving how the team uses AI tools (Claude, Cursor etc)

Supporting with building out AI customer support tools

Helping Finance and Capital Markets teams

A key part of the role is challenging how things are done today and helping the team find simpler, faster or better ways to operate.
