Senior Product Manager (Superapp)

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](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/lendable.co.uk))

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.**
