About the role

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:

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.

• 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 https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/lendable.co.uk)

JOIN US IF YOU WANT TO

We're looking for an experienced, ambitious People Advisor to join our team.

Reporting to our Senior People Partner, you'll own key aspects of the employee lifecycle, from probation and absence through to family leave and flexible working, pairing process execution with commercially minded advice, so our managers and employees are well supported. You'll also get exposure to our international populations as we scale beyond the UK.

You'll balance hands-on advisory with exposure to strategic work happening across the People Partnering team (i.e. talent density, reward, leader development), leading high-impact initiatives.

• 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

How you'll meet those objectives

• Employee Relations: Own probation and absence management, as well as supporting performance management. Provide practical advice to managers and employees, escalating more complex matters.
• Employee Lifecycle: Lead on aspects such as family leave and flexible working requests. Act as tier-2 support for anything beyond what our self-serve bot can resolve - and help us identify where that bot itself could go further.
• Wider initiatives: Support organisational change and the People agenda as we continue to scale, using AI and automation to deliver a faster, consistent experience for managers and employees.
• International Support: Support onboarding, policy and benefits for our US and MX populations as we scale internationally.
• Strategic Exposure: Proactively partner with the wider People Partnering team, seeking out hands-on exposure to strategic work.
• Insight & Optimisation: Spot patterns and feed them back into the team, flagging where policy, process, manager coaching, or systems could improve.

• Advisory: Confidence engaging directly with managers and senior stakeholders - advising and challenging when needed.
• Commercial Awareness: Use good judgement to balance business and people needs.
• Autonomy: Self-driven and comfortable owning work independently, with the ability to plan and prioritise varied focuses.
• Technical Curiosity: Genuinely curious about AI and how it can be used to improve People processes — you look for ways that the team can work smarter.
• Ambition: Driven and hands-on, keen to build quickly in a high-growth environmen
