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 looking for a highly analytical, commercially-minded Senior Growth Manager to join our U.S. team. In this role, you will own the growth performance of several U.S. personal loans acquisition channels end-to-end — from strategy through execution — directly influencing Lendable’s long-term trajectory in the U.S. market. You’ll be responsible for identifying, scaling and optimising acquisition channels, managing partner relationships, and translating data into actionable decisions across pricing, credit, product and marketing performance.

You will make sharp decisions across CAC, approval rates, risk outcomes, and conversion to maximise long-term contribution margin * Be hands-on with data. You will drive your own analysis, uncover insights, and generate recommendations using SQL and analytics tooling…not just review dashboards * Manage and improve the acquisition funnel end-to-end, optimising for volume, cost and credit quality; spot performance changes quickly and take action * Deeply understand key third-party and partner ranking algorithms / channel mechanics, and feed insights into pricing, credit policy and product strategy * Work closely with Credit, Product, and Engineering to drive the roadmap in areas impacting funnel performance (pricing levers, eligibility logic, decisioning, UX flows) * Identify new opportunities for growth by combining quantitative insight and qualitative judgement, forming a clear view on how to capture more of the market and how to measure success WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR Essential * Strong hands-on analytics experience — you are comfortable pulling data yourself and using it to drive business decisions (strong SQL experience required, Python is an added bonus) * Proven commercial ownership: experience driving growth, launching initiatives, and improving performance against measurable outcomes * Track record of managing external stakeholders (partners, affiliates, vendors) and holding them accountable to performance * Strong judgement and bias to action: can navigate ambiguity, prioritise ruthlessly, and make smart tradeoffs. Acts urgently with an ownership mindset. * Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — can influence cross-functionally and up to senior leadership * Relentless curiosity and willingness to challenge the status quo Desirable * Experience driving resilient growth in the US personal loans market, ideally at a FinTech * Experience managing direct marketing channels (direct mail, cross sell, etc.) * Experience working at or with a major U.S. affiliate (like Credit Karma) LIFE AT LENDABLE * Winning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies * Flexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role.

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 are looking for a meticulous and curious Fraud Investigations Associate to serve as our primary defense against identity theft and organized fraud rings. While our FinCrime team sets the high-level policy, you are the investigator in the trenches, identifying synthetic identities and stopping fraudsters before they can enter our ecosystem. In this role, you will handle the "pre-onboarding" and "post-onboarding" lifecycle for both our U.S. personal loans and credit card products. You’ll be tasked with uncovering complex fraud patterns—ranging from simple ID theft to sophisticated, large-scale fraud rings. This is a role for someone who loves "connecting the dots" and protecting both the company’s bottom line and our customers' identities. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING * Identity & Application Fraud: Investigate suspicious applications at the point of onboarding to detect synthetic identities and third-party identity theft. * Special Investigations: Conduct deep-dive investigations into suspected fraud rings and organized criminal activity, collaborating closely with senior leadership on high-stakes cases. * Case Management & KYC: Manage the end-to-end investigation of suspicious activity. Gather "Know Your Customer" (KYC) documentation and prepare comprehensive case files for SAR consideration by the 2LoD team. * Screening: Perform the initial clearing of Sanctions and PEP alerts, ensuring we are not facilitating prohibited transactions. * Consumer Protection: Handle CFPB and Credit Reporting Agency (CRA) disputes specifically related to fraud claims, ensuring fair and timely resolution for victims of identity theft. * Customer Outreach: Communicate directly with U.S. consumers to verify identity details and confirm the legitimacy of high-risk applications. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR * Investigative Grit: 2+ years of experience in fraud investigations, specifically within U.S. fintech, personal loans, or credit cards. Or, equivalent FinCrime investigative experience in US Law Enforcement. * Technical Literacy: Experience using identity verification tools like Alloy or Socure. You know how to read an identity report beyond just the "Pass/Fail" score. Familiar with ID databases, how to navigate them, and how to conduct thorough investigations for fraud patterns. * Detail Oriented: Ability to document complex investigations clearly so that business leadership, regulators and bank partners can easily follow your logic. Regulatory Knowledge: Understanding of the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) and how it pertains to fraud disputes and consumer protection. Salary - $80,000 to $120,000 per year LIFE AT LENDABLE * Winning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies * Flexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role.
