Senior Product Manager (UK Cards)
Lendable · London, United Kingdom · 3mo ago
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 most exciting unicorns with a team of over 800 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: 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: Lendies are relentlessly resourceful. We challenge the status quo to solve problems and find smarter solutions
Build the best technology in-house: we use new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
About the role
We’re looking for a Product Manager to help shape and grow the UK Cards product.
This is not a traditional PM role focused on roadmap management, stakeholder coordination or writing tickets. We are looking for someone who thinks like an owner and operates like a builder.
You should be someone who naturally questions how things work, challenges assumptions and looks for practical ways to improve the product.
You will work closely with engineering, operations, data, finance and commercial teams to identify problems, validate opportunities and drive execution across the Cards business. The role combines product thinking, experimentation, problem solving and AI tooling.
If you are excited by fintech, lending and building products in a fast moving environment, this role offers significant ownership and impact.

Using data and customer insights to prioritise product opportunities

Examples include:
Improving internal tooling and operational workflows
Driving adoption of AI tools across the team
Supporting development of AI-powered customer support and servicing
Automating manual operational processes where possible
Helping teams make faster and better decisions through better workflows
Owning cross functional problem solving
The role requires operating across product, operations, finance, capital markets and customer servicing.
Examples include:
Identifying operational bottlenecks and driving improvements
Coordinating complex initiatives across multiple teams
Translating ambiguous business problems into impactful plans
Balancing customer outcomes with commercial and operational constraints
A core part of the role is continuously challenging how things are done today and helping the organisation operate in simpler, faster and more effective ways.

This role is designed for someone who wants significant ownership and enjoys solving hard problems in fast moving environments.
Typical profile
4+ years of experience in product, strategy, consulting, analytics or startup environments
Experience owning products or growth initiatives
Strong interest in fintech, lending and technology
Comfortable working across both strategy and execution
Curious about AI and how new tools can improve product development
Interested in building and scaling products with real business impact
You should be someone who
Thinks from first principles rather than accepting how things currently work
Challenges assumptions and asks high quality questions
Enjoys solving ambiguous and messy problems
Uses data confidently to make decisions
Moves quickly and tests ideas pragmatically
Is highly ownership and execution focused
Can operate independently with broad direction
Communicates clearly across technical and non technical teams
Is comfortable switching between product, operational and commercial contexts
Why this role is interesting
You will get exposure to:
How consumer lending and credit cards work in practice
Building and scaling one of the UK’s most successful fintech products
Product-led growth and experimentation
AI tooling and automation inside a real product organisation
