About the role
We’re looking for an experienced, strategic, and data-driven Product Manager (PM) to join our Credit Card Product team. We launched our Credit Card in the UK in 2020 and in the US in 2024. We are now working on scaling our customer base exponentially. As a member of the Product team, you will play a key role in helping us achieve our ambitious goals.
The Zable credit card is a Mobile App-first product targeted at the credit builder customer segment in the UK and the US. We give customers the power to build their credit rating over time while offering them a flexible line of credit that meets their spending needs sustainably.
This role will cover all aspects of credit card product management, and you will be given the freedom to define new features and manage projects end to end, including:
Shaping our mobile App experience to empower customers to manage their finances
Optimising how we acquire new customers for speed and efficiency
Improving our underwriting capabilities to support best-in-class credit decisions
Building tools which maximise efficiency for our Customer Service and Fraud teams
Finding new ways to support customers who may be experiencing financial difficulty
PMs at Lendable work closely with teams such as Engineering, Credit, Growth and Operations to drive their product and take the business to the next level. It’s your job to break down complex tasks into bite sized deliverables and prioritise projects according to their maximum impact. While high quality delivery is a key part of this role, we encourage all our teams to look at the big picture and help Lendable grow.
What we're looking for
Experience in a product, analytical or commercial role within Tech, Finance or Management Consulting
Bonus: Experience working in start-up/scale-up environment preferred but not required
Bonus: Experience in credit cards, lending, or fintech is a plus, but not a requirement
A bias for action: you move fast, get things done, and iterate quickly based on feedback
Possess high attention to detail and a “sweat the small things” approach to delivering a high quality product to our customers
Are data-driven: you are comfortable challenging assumptions or being challenged to ensure good decisions are supported by data.
What you'll be working on
Own and drive the strategy, execution, and growth of a vertical within our expanding cards business.
Managing the delivery of our credit card proposition; define product roadmaps, break down complex problems into actionable steps, and prioritise ruthlessly based on impact.
Champion data-driven decision-making, measuring outcomes, and iterating quickly based on learnings.
Working alongside other Product Managers and an Engineering Team to define the product roadmap
Testing and measuring the impact of new releases and experiments
Liaising across teams (data science, Operations, developers etc.) to deliver new features and ideas
Navigate a fast-paced, evolving fintech landscape, balancing innovation with compliance and risk management.
Partnering with design to ensure our customers’ needs are always at the heart of what we’re building
How you will contribute to the Product Team’s objectives
Autonomy; you are comfortable managing a product line
Prioritising product features independently
Creating new features based on discussions and requirements from the wider business
Running standups and weekly planning sessions with the engineering team
Being accountable for product delivery and the commercial impacts
Collaborating with other business teams, allowing you to make many small decisions that impact features within the product
Optimising developer time with an engineering mindset to maximise business impact
Identifying bottlenecks early and working out the dependencies that may block the product development well ahead of time
Problem solving; consistently breaking down complex business problems into bite sized chunks. Complex tasks don’t intimidate you and you are able to break down a complex problem into parts
Analysis; you have experience with numerical analysis - at least excel, ideally some SQL. We will teach you the tools (SQL), but you need to feel very comfortable with numbers. You have used data to drive real-world actions
Communication and leadership skills; you can communicate clearly and succinctly, orally and in writing; you enjoy a lively discussion. You effortlessly adjust your communication to suit your audience, from business owners to engineers. You don’t have a massive ego and you are happy to change your mind when presented with a good argument
Collaboration; you have established close relationships with key stakeholders across data science, developers, compliance, customer service allowing you to quickly assemble cross functional teams for product delivery
Working at speed; you make things happen. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility for implementation and design decisions. You work at speed and enjoy a healthy dose of pressure
Process management; a solid understanding of the software development life cycle and how product can support each stage
Agility; not just Agile (Scrum or Kanban would be nice) but adaptability to thrive in an unstructured, fast-moving and constantly evolving high growth environment
