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 10,000s 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 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

About the role

We’re entering a once-in-a-company moment: a major step-change in our D2C marketing investment, a full rebrand of the company and product under the Zable brand, and a marketing function being built out at pace under a newly-appointed CMO. This is one of the most exciting marketing builds in UK fintech right now, with the financial strength, customer base, and product depth to back it up.

Partnerships and sponsorships are a core part of our growth engine going forward, and we’re building the team to power them. We’re looking for a Growth Partnerships Executive to manage day-to-day partner relationships and run sponsorship activations end-to-end. Reporting to a Head of Growth Partnerships we’re hiring in parallel, you’ll be the operator behind every deal, making sure activations land, partners feel looked after, and every pound of partnership spend delivers measurable growth.

What we're looking for:

Essential:

1-2+ years in partnerships, sponsorships, BD or growth roles for a consumer brand
Track record of running activations end-to-end and delivering measurable results
Strong account / relationship management skills
Comfortable with the data, channel economics, attribution and ROI
Highly organised and detail-oriented, you can run multiple activations in parallel
Strong commercial communicator, you can hold your own with senior partners
Demonstrable use of AI in your workflow

Desirable:

Experience in fintech or financial services
Experience with sport, entertainment, media or large brand sponsorships
Experience with affiliate, influencer or embedded finance partnerships
Some deal structuring experience

You’re a good fit if you’re:

A natural relationship-builder, partners trust you, and so does your team
A strong project manager, you keep things moving and on-budget
Commercially minded, you measure success in growth, not vanity
Hands-on and resourceful, you make things happen
Curious about AI and how it changes the partnerships discipline

What you'll be doing

Activation:

Run sponsorship and partnership activations end-to-end, brief, plan, ship, measure
Manage the day-to-day with partners: planning, comms, escalations
Coordinate across creative, growth, lifecycle and legal

Partner Management:

Own the partner relationship, be the trusted operator they call first
Manage budgets and timelines across activations
Spot opportunities to expand existing partnerships

Performance & Optimisation:

Track partnership performance against targets, CAC, LTV, ROI

Use AI to scale research, brief-writing and reporting

Cross-functional:

Partner with creative on activation assets
Partner with finance and legal on contracts and accruals
Report on partnership performance to the Head of Growth Partnerships
