About the role
Lendable is hiring a cohort of Strategy & Operations Managers to join our Operations function. These are roles for people from analytical or strategic backgrounds who thrive on ownership. We’re looking for people who are unusually good at getting to the bottom of a problem and making something happen.
Each hire will take full ownership of a specific function within Operations: understanding how it works today, identifying what needs to change, and leading the initiatives that fix it. Some roles involve managing a team; others are individual contributors. The function you own will be confirmed through the hiring process based on fit and business need.
Your impact
Own your function end‑to‑end: Embed deeply into your function, map current processes, and redesign them from first principles. Identify automation opportunities, eliminate inefficiencies and ensure the function consistently evidences good customer outcomes that align with the FCA’s Consumer Duty. Be the person who understands this part of the business better than anyone.
Drive operational improvement through data: Pull and interpret data yourself to surface insights that improve how the function performs. Define the metrics that matter, build the monitoring to track them, and translate findings into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
Deliver strategic initiatives: Scope and execute high‑impact projects across your function and, over time, across the wider Operations division. Work cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, Data Science and Compliance to bring initiatives to completion and validate that they’re working as intended. Influence without hierarchy: Present clearly and credibly to senior stakeholders. Approach every conversation with an open mind and let the quality of ideas do the work.
Lead a team where applicable: In people management roles, hire, develop and motivate a team through a period of change, building a culture that challenges the status quo and holds itself to a high bar.
