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.
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
The role
We're looking for our next Technical Sourcer to join our growing Talent team. You'll be instrumental in identifying, engaging, and attracting exceptional technical talent across a variety of critical domains, including Engineering, Product, Credit, and Data Science. From mapping markets and building intricate sourcing strategies to engaging hard-to-find candidates, you'll be a proactive force in building robust talent pipelines and ensuring we hire the best, at pace.
What you'll be doing:
You'll uncover and engage best-in-market passive technical talent using creative, multi-channel sourcing approaches. You'll be familiar with platforms like LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Welcome to the Jungle, and others.
You'll partner closely with our Talent Partners and hiring leaders, leveraging market insights and data to develop detailed, strategic sourcing plans for highly specialised technical roles.
You'll map the market, proactively identifying and understanding talent pools to find those hidden gems.
You'll manage multiple pipelines and priorities with precision.
You'll hustle cross-functionally, collaborating with Talent Partners and hiring managers to ensure a seamless and positive candidate experience from initial outreach to hand-off.
Through it all, you'll analyse metrics, auditing your strategies and processes with a highly analytical mindset, always hunting for opportunities to source not only faster but smarter!
What we offer:
Real impact - see your work directly shape the trajectory of our company. Every talent you bring here is a game-changer.
Growth - join and learn from driven, smart teammates who push for better, daily.
High agency - you'll own your projects end-to-end, have a genuine seat at the table, and make meaningful decisions that matter—no red tape, just results.
Low ego - we value humility, transparency, and the willingness to listen. No politics, just mutual respect and shared wins.
Best of both - we're a financially solid fintech with a start-up mentality. Enjoy the stability and resources alongside the pace, autonomy, and fun of a scrappy challenger brand.
What we're looking for:
You have extensive experience as a dedicated technical sourcing expert, within a fast-paced, in-house, product-led tech environment.
You have technical sourcing experience with a proven track record in Engineering, Product, Credit, Data Science, and other highly technical roles.
You're familiar with deep sourcing activities, with proven ability to identify, engage, and convert passive technical talent, using a range of tools, platforms (including LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, Welcome to the Jungle), and creative techniques.
You have strong familiarity with building detailed sourcing strategies and experience mapping markets to find hidden talent.
You possess excellent communication and relationship-building skills, adept at engaging highly specialised talent and articulating our value proposition effectively.
You're deeply data-driven, leveraging analytics to improve sourcing every day and are comfortable reporting on process and outcomes.
You're a proactive collaborator and relationship builder. The ultimate culture-add, ready to roll up your sleeves and make things happen.
You have excellent written and verbal communication. You tailor your message to the audience, get buy-in and build trust at all levels.
You have experience with applicant tracking systems (bonus if you can teach us a thing or two about Ashby!)
Interview process:
Screening - 30 minute call with one of our Talent Partners.
Leadership interview - 45 minute interview with our Tech Talent Lead.
Onsite interview - 45 minute task with the Head of Talent and VP, People,
Culture Interview - 45 minute stakeholder interview.
The opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies.
Best-in-class compensation, including equity.
You can work from home every Monday and Friday if you wish - on the other days, those based in the UK come together IRL at our Shoreditch office in London to be together, build and exchange ideas.
Enjoy a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to whip up breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks in the office every Tuesday-Thursday.
We care for our Lendies’ well-being both physically and mentally, so we offer coverage when it comes to private health insurance
We're an equal-opportunity employer and are looking to make Lendable the most inclusive and open workspace in London
