- PMs at Lendable take day to day ownership of their product and work closely with teams such as Engineering, Credit, Growth and Operations to take the business to the next level
- It’s your job to break down complex tasks into bite sized deliverables and prioritise projects according to their maximum impact
- You’ll be comfortable getting into the details but also looking at the big picture and helping Lendable grow
- Own and drive the strategy, execution, and growth of a product vertical within our expanding portfolio
- Managing the delivery of our product propositions; define product roadmaps, break down complex problems into actionable steps, and prioritise ruthlessly based on impact

- Liaising across teams (data science, customer service, developers etc.) to crystallise intent for new features
- Navigate a fast-paced, evolving fintech landscape, balancing innovation with compliance and risk management
- Partnering with design to ensure our customers’ needs are always at the heart of what we’re building

- Problem solving; consistently breaking down complex business problems into bite sized chunks
- Complex tasks don’t intimidate you and you are able to break down a complex problem into parts
- Analysis; you have experience with numerical analysis - at least excel, ideally some SQL
- We will teach you the tools (SQL), but you need to feel very comfortable with numbers. You have used data to drive real-world actions
- Communication and leadership skills; you can communicate clearly and succinctly, orally and in writing; you enjoy a lively discussion
- You effortlessly adjust your communication to suit your audience, from business owners to engineers
- You don’t have a massive ego and you are happy to change your mind when presented with a good argument
- Collaboration; you have established close relationships with key stakeholders across data science, developers, compliance, customer service allowing you to quickly assemble cross functional teams for product delivery
- Working at speed; you make things happen. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility for implementation and design decisions. You work at speed and enjoy a healthy dose of pressure
- Process management; a solid understanding of the software development life cycle and how product can support each stage
- Agility; not just Agile (Scrum or Kanban would be nice) but adaptability to thrive in an unstructured, fast-moving and constantly evolving high growth environment

Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other lenders, and consumer finance companies to make finance and credit easier to access for all consumers. Streamlining the loan application process, the company cuts personalised rates and fund transfers from days to minutes.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and strong financials. Part of its success is due to its funding coming from institutional investors. Lendable originates and services its loans on behalf of institutional investors, but doesn't hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all lending platforms, but Lendable looks well-placed to weather any credit storm given its substantial debt financing. With fresh funding, this profitable fintech unicorn is poised to make credit access easier for micro, small, and medium enterprises. And with the launch of two new products in the US, Lendable is certainly in a good position for more growth.
