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 newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 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
About the Role
As we continue to grow, we are seeking a dynamic and adaptable Complaints Team Leader to manage and develop a team of exceptional Complaints Officers. In this pivotal role, you’ll lead from the front, building a high-performing, engaged team that resolves complex customer complaints, delivers outstanding customer outcomes, and drives process improvements, all while championing a data-driven culture.
Your Team’s Objectives
Lendable aims to resolve all complaints promptly, ensuring that they are investigated diligently and fairly for customers. Lendable is committed to providing excellent customer service and ensuring that it reaches the right outcomes for our customers.
Feedback is an important part of how we can evolve as a business to ensure that we are meeting our customers' expectations and continuously improving our service and the team is encouraged to speak up, take each complaint on its own merits and provide valuable insights to the business in order to improve and grow.
Reasons to use Rodeo

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and professional development, coaching your team to leverage technology and new data sources to enhance their impact.
- Build strong relationships across Operations and Product, ensuring feedback from your team translates into meaningful business change.
- Ensure robust quality assurance practices are embedded, ensuring that your team maintains consistency in decision making and are following applicable processes.
- Take the lead in responding to escalated or high-risk complaints, modelling exceptional standards of professionalism, communication and judgement.
- Keep up to date with industry regulation (particularly FCA and DISP) and best practice, ensuring your team operates with integrity and good consumer outcomes always at the forefront.
We are looking for someone who:

- Has a track record of developing and motivating high-performing teams to exceed targets and deliver first-class, customer-centric outcomes.
- Is comfortable challenging the status quo, driving positive change and influencing multiple stakeholders.
