Senior Product Designer
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)
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.
Join us if you want to
Take ownership across a broad remit. 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, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo
Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting

Our design principles
Simplicity wins
If a user has to think too hard, we’ve already lost. We strip away complexity, jargon, and unnecessary steps to make managing finances effortless. Every screen should feel intuitive, focused, and frictionless.
Evidence over ego
We don’t design based on opinions. Everything we build is informed by data, tested, and refined based on real user behaviour.
Trust is our best feature
We don’t design based on opinions. Everything we build is informed by data, tested, and refined based on real user behaviour.
