(Senior) Talent Partner

About Lendable

 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 >200 people

• Among the top 10 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 (4.9/5 across 10,000s of reviews)

• 5* Glassdoor Rating...

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 these are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.

Join us if you want to

• Work in small teams of exceptional people trusted to take ownership and make decisions quickly

• Be relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo

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

  
  

About our Team and the role

You will be the 3rd person joining our wonderful Talent Team! You will have the opportunity to continuously improve and build our hiring strategy. We have hired over 150 people over the last 12 months and are currently 250 people strong.

We strive for the highest quality when it comes to finding the best people and supporting people throughout their interview journey like no other company does.

We are a scaling company and continue to grow in the UK as well as the US. You will work on approx 10 roles at a time whilst working on People & Talent-related projects with the wider People Team. The role will be 60% execution, 20% project-based, and 20% strategy.

  • Discuss the exercise you completed

  • Meet the team you’ll work with daily
