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 10,000+ 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

Credit & Commercial Manager — Second Charge Mortgages

The Role

We're building our second charge mortgage product from the ground up and are looking for a Credit & Commercial Manager to own credit strategy for this product — someone who understands the mechanics of secured lending end-to-end, from quote through to completion.

This is a foundational hire. You'll shape how we assess risk, price loans, and structure our credit policy, working closely with a small, senior cross-functional team spanning product, engineering, legal, and commercial. If you've spent years working in secured lending and you want to help build something new rather than maintain something old, this is the role.

What You’ll Do

• Define credit policy and underwriting strategy for second charge mortgages, including affordability, eligibility, and decisioning frameworks
• Own risk scoring and pricing –
  • Develop and refine scorecards, risk segmentation, and pricing models that balance volume with portfolio quality
  • Drive growth whilst balancing risk, using analytical and credit judgment to reach volume targets while maintaining the highest loan quality
• Own IRR/NPV/cashflow models – ensure the economics of the asset we book make sense, and drive the necessary changes where needed
• Design automated decisioning logic – translate credit policy into executable rules and decision trees that can be embedded in the platform and ensure we build the quickest, most automated secured product on the market
• Help shape funding strategy – collaborate with the Capital Markets team to inform investor parameters around LTV limits, property valuations, and portfolio concentration before translating these into practical credit policy
• Inform the property valuation and security process – ensure credit policy accounts for valuation methodology, panel management considerations, and charge registration requirements
• Monitor portfolio performance – track early indicators, refine strategy based on outcomes, and report to senior stakeholders
• Collaborate cross-functionally –
  • Daily work with product and engineering to embed credit decisioning into the platform
  • Alignment with legal and compliance to ensure regulatory adherence (MCOB, Consumer Duty)
• Get stuck in – this is a small team building something from scratch; you will be hands-on across the full credit lifecycle and won’t be managing remotely
