Senior Analyst / Growth Manager

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 just over 500 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 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

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

• Work with product and credit functions to deliver recommendations in the journeys you are monitoring. (product analysis)

• Combine quantitative and qualitative judgements to triage growth ideas and strategies; finding and researching the key levers for growth internally or via partners, and forming a view of how to measure and capture more of the total addressable market. (strategy)

What we're looking for

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Desirable:

• Experience in credit cards, loans, car finance or mortgages

• Experience working in the credit card affiliate and price comparison site space

What does good look like in 6 months time?

• Identify and assess new acquisition channels for scale and profitability

• Attribute all funnel changes (combine knowledge of ranking algorithm function with realised performance)

• Generate high quality MI for management to understand the health of our acquisition funnels (understand senior management's needs and communicate well)

• Help form the view of how we grow into our TAM with confidence

• Identify opportunities for >10% improvements to enquiry-to-sale rate (self motivate to find opportunities and pitch them internally with robust analytical backing)

• Triage partner initiatives and decide which to take forward (create models to represent business opportunities to understand which bets to take)
