Senior Product Manager (AI & Automation)

We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on and highly technical Product Manager / Senior Product Manager to build and scale our internal automation platform at Lendable.

This team’s remit is to supercharge our internal teams (Finance, People/HR, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Marketing, Capital Markets and Product & Engineering) by automating their workflows end-to-end. You’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering and operations to:

• Build and run our internal automation platform using agentic AI infrastructure (e.g. n8n), AI copilots (e.g. Cursor), and vibe-coding tools (e.g. Replit, Lovable)

• Ship real workflows and tools that remove manual work from our colleagues’ day-to-day and help drive more insights and efficiency from our valuable workforce

• Build the guardrails and infrastructure so anyone in these teams can safely build and test their own workflows (with the right controls for security, data protection, reliability and scalability)
  

You’ll lead a small dev team (3–4 engineers) and are expected to be a hacker yourself. You’ll go beyond traditional ‘rules and steps’ automation, designing agentic workflows where LLMs operate in non-deterministic environments and effectively replace manual judgment and decision-making. At the same time, you’ll be the evangelist for AI and agentic workflows across the company, helping others adopt and build too.

Why join our Internal Automation team?

High ownership:
Take full end-to-end ownership of our internal automation platform from day one in a flat structure with huge autonomy.

Massive leverage:
Every workflow you ship saves hours across multiple teams. You’ll directly impact how fast Lendable moves as a company, helping us maintain one of our key competitive advantages - nimbleness.

Cutting-edge technology:
Work at the frontier of agentic AI, workflow orchestration and coding copilots, making machines do the heavy lifting so our teams can focus on high-value work.

Builder / hacker culture:
Work in a small, senior team where it’s normal for PMs to prototype flows, write scripts, and “vibe-code” solutions using tools like n8n, Replit, Cursor and Lovable.

Company-wide visibility:
Partner with leadership in Finance, People, Legal, Compliance, Marketing, Capital Markets and Product/Tech. When your automations work, everyone feels it.

What you'll be doing

Discover & prioritise the highest-leverage automations

• Partner with internal teams to deeply understand their processes, constraints and pain points

• Map end-to-end workflows (e.g. month-end close, headcount planning, vendor onboarding, policy attestations, investigations, approvals), quantify impact (time saved, errors reduced, control uplift, speed) and ruthlessly prioritise what to automate next.
  

Build & launch agentic workflows and internal tools

• Design and ship automations using tools like agentic workflow automation tools, AI copilots and vibe-coding tools like n8n, Cursor, Replit, and Loveable to prototype fast, iterate quickly to build LLM-powered workflows that make real-time judgement calls much closer to how a human would.

• Define and track success metrics (e.g. manual touches removed, time-to-complete, error rates, SLA adherence) and continuously improve based on what you learn.
  

Build the platform & guardrails so others can build

• Own the vision and roadmap for the internal automation platform (templates, building blocks, permissions, environments, observability, logging, audit trails) and ensure it meets our standards for security, data protection and auditability.

• Design simple, safe ways for non-technical users to create, test and deploy their own workflows, with guardrails that allow the platform to scale reliably as usage grows.
  

Evangelise AI & automation across Lendable

• Act as the internal champion for AI and agentic workflows, running demos, trainings and show-and-tells and building reusable patterns, playbooks and docs to make adoption easy.

• Nurture an internal community of “automation builders” across teams, supporting them with feedback, templates and guidance.

What we're looking for

Essential experience

• Product management experience: 3+ years building products, platforms or internal tools; 5+ years for a Senior PM. We’re open to title depending on experience.

• Automation / tooling experience: Hands-on experience automating workflows (e.g. with n8n, Zapier, Make, internal tooling, scripts, or similar).

• Technical fluency: Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, data formats (JSON), and numerical analysis. You should be able to prototype small automations yourself.

• Data-driven: Strong analytical skills; comfortable with Excel/Sheets and ideally some SQL. You use data to prioritise, validate and iterate.
  

Hacker mindset & technical depth

• You’re a vibe-coder at heart: happy to open Cursor/Replit, stitch together APIs, and build a first version yourself.

• You’re comfortable working closely with engineers, understanding technical trade-offs, and diving into enough detail to make good decisions.

• You’re excited by agentic AI, copilots and internal developer platforms – and curious to explore new tools and patterns here.
  

Core capabilities

• Bias for action: You move fast, ship early, and iterate based on feedback instead of waiting for perfect information.
  

• Operational excellence: Strong prioritisation skills; you can say “no” and keep the team focused on high-impact work.
  

• Stakeholder management: Track record working with non-technical teams (Finance, HR, Legal, Compliance, Operations) and translating their needs into robust solutions.
  

• Communication & influence: You can explain complex workflows simply, adjust your communication to your audience, and bring people along on the journey.
  

• Problem solving: You relish untangling messy processes and breaking complex problems into small, shippable chunks.
  

Ideal background

• Background building internal tooling, platforms or automation for business teams.

• Experience in startup/scale-up environments with flat organisational structures and high levels of ownership.

• Deep curiosity about emerging AI/agent frameworks, LLM tooling and their applications in internal operations.
  

How you will contribute to the Product & Tech team’s objectives

• Take autonomous ownership of the Internal Automation product line.

• Prioritise the automation roadmap independently based on impact, risk and strategic alignment.

• Run standups and planning with your engineering team, optimising developer time for maximum business leverage.

• Collaborate widely across Finance, People, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Product, Engineering and Data to identify, design and deliver automations.

• Set and track clear success metrics (time saved, errors reduced, control uplift) and report on impact to leadership.

• Champion best practices in experimentation, observability and reliability for workflows and internal tools.

• Help shape how we use AI across Lendable, from simple copilots to fully agentic workflows.
