Role
Who you are
- Daily coding experience, with proficiency in Python and SQL ideally
- Proven experience in shaping strategies
- Understanding what truly matters and driving business outcomes
- A natural inclination to challenge the status quo and question your own assumptions
What the job involves
- 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
- Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo

- We’re looking for a super-smart senior data analyst who is great with numbers and loves problem-solving to come and have a big impact on our business
- We want someone who has coding experience and uses it (ideally Python and SQL) on a daily basis to generate insights from data and use that insight to drive meaningful change in our UK cards business
- You’ll be working for an ambitious company, in a fast-paced environment, with minimal bureaucracy
- The credit card team is building a near prime cards portfolio with ambitious targets
- In the credit team, we are looking to optimise who we offer credit to, how much we should lend to them, what interest rate we should charge, and how the wider economic environment impacts those decisions
- We also own various models, which we use to forecast returns for our investors
- Define the credit strategy for our evolving portfolio
- Discover insights from data and develop strategies to answer the big questions and address key business questions
- Collaborate with a wider cross-functional team to implement your strategies in the market
- Monitor and assess the success of implemented strategies, and continuously discover further opportunities for improvement
Application process
- We’re not corporate, so we try our best to get things moving as quickly as possible. For this role, we’d expect:
- A quick phone call with one of the team
- Onsite interviews including case studies and meeting the team
- C-suite interview
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Lendable competes with banks, other marketplace lenders, and consumer finance companies to provide loans to consumers, small businesses, and property developers. Last year the UK marketplace lenders loaned £7.3bn in total.
Lendable believes it can win in this crowded field due to its market-best customer service and its strong financials. Unlike Zopa, RateSetter, or Lending Works, their funding comes from institutional investors.
It originates and services the loans on behalf of institutional investors, but does not hold them on its own balance sheet.
Growing insolvencies will worry all marketplace lending platforms, but Lendable looks well placed to weather any credit storm given their substantial debt financing.
