About Elect Capital
Elect Capital is changing how SMEs access funding. We provide fast, flexible working capital loans, business loans, and merchant cash advances — no red tape, no slow decisions. Live across the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US, and scaling fast, we give SMEs the speed and flexibility traditional lenders can't.
🎯 Our Mission
We exist to give SMEs the capital and confidence to grow — fast, fair, and friction-free. Every ambitious business deserves a real shot at growth, not months of paperwork. We've built lending for speed, without cutting corners on fairness. When SMEs win, we win.
The Role
We're looking for a Lead Lending Operations Analyst to own the post-approval stage of our lending pipeline — the critical bridge between underwriting decisions and funds reaching our customers. You'll lead a team of Lending Operations Analysts ("preppers") responsible for preparing approved loans for completion: documentation, compliance checks, and final disbursement readiness. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on process precision, team development, and keeping deals moving without compromising on accuracy.
