Lendable is a UK fintech unicorn (700+ employees, profitable since 2017, backed by Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs) rebuilding consumer finance products—loans, credit cards, and car finance—with technology that gets money to customers in minutes instead of days. The company is expanding aggressively into the UK and US markets.
You will join the Growth Marketing team at a pivotal scaling moment, reporting to a newly hired Head of Growth Partnerships. Partnerships and sponsorships are core to Lendable's growth engine, and this role is the operational backbone of that strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
Activation: Run sponsorship and partnership activations end-to-end—from brief and planning through execution and measurement. Manage day-to-day partner communications, planning, and escalations. Coordinate across creative, growth, lifecycle, and legal teams.
Partner Management: Own partner relationships as the trusted operator. Manage budgets and timelines. Identify opportunities to expand existing partnerships.
Performance & Optimization: Track partnership performance against targets (CAC, LTV, ROI). Build playbooks and tooling to scale the function. Use AI to automate research, brief-writing, and reporting.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with creative on activation assets, finance and legal on contracts and accruals, and report partnership performance to leadership.
You'll work in small teams of exceptional, resourceful people solving problems with new data sources, machine learning, and AI. The role offers ownership from day one and material impact on company direction.
Requirements:
Essential: 1–2+ years in partnerships, sponsorships, business development, or growth roles at a consumer brand. Track record of running activations end-to-end with measurable results. Strong account and relationship management skills. Comfortable with data, channel economics, attribution, and ROI. Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple activations in parallel. Strong commercial communication skills. Demonstrable use of AI in your workflow.
Desirable: Fintech or financial services experience. Sport, entertainment, media, or large brand sponsorship experience. Affiliate, influencer, or embedded finance partnership experience. Deal structuring experience.
Ideal Profile: Natural relationship-builder whom partners and teams trust. Strong project manager who keeps things moving and on-budget. Commercially minded, measuring success in growth. Hands-on and resourceful. Curious about AI and its impact on partnerships.
