About Abound
We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.
And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.
Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us.
About the role:
As Training Coordinator, you'll support Abound's learning and development by planning, running and monitoring training across our operational teams. You'll work closely with the QA and Training Manager, operations and site managers, subject matter experts and external trainers. Together, you'll make sure training meets business goals and our regulatory obligations under the FCA's Consumer Duty, CONC, MCOB and SM&CR.
You'll keep things running day to day. That means scheduling sessions, keeping records accurate and audit-ready, and making sure every new starter moves smoothly from day one to full competence. Additionally you will support the teams in supporting colleagues who may required additional training and support to regain competency status.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
