Senior Growth Manager

Lendable • Arlington, VA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for a highly analytical, commercially-minded Senior Growth Manager to join our U.S. team.

In this role, you will own the growth performance of several U.S. personal loans acquisition channels end-to-end — from strategy through execution — directly influencing Lendable’s long-term trajectory in the U.S. market. You’ll be responsible for identifying, scaling and optimising acquisition channels, managing partner relationships, and translating data into actionable decisions across pricing, credit, product and marketing performance.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role. You will operate like a “CEO” over your channels — balancing the tradeoffs between volume, unit economics, credit quality, and user experience to deliver resilient, sustainable growth.

You’ll join a small, ambitious, fast-paced team of problem solvers — not traditional marketers. This role is best suited for someone who thrives on ownership, uses data to make decisions, and is comfortable operating independently.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on analytics experience — you are comfortable pulling data yourself and using it to drive business decisions (strong SQL experience required, Python is an added bonus)
• Proven commercial ownership: experience driving growth, launching initiatives, and improving performance against measurable outcomes
• Track record of managing external stakeholders (partners, affiliates, vendors) and holding them accountable to performance
• Strong judgement and bias to action: can navigate ambiguity, prioritise ruthlessly, and make smart tradeoffs. Acts urgently with an ownership mindset.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — can influence cross-functionally and up to senior leadership
• Relentless curiosity and willingness to challenge the status quo

Nice To Haves

• Experience driving resilient growth in the US personal loans market, ideally at a FinTech
• Experience managing direct marketing channels (direct mail, cross sell, etc.)
• Experience working at or with a major U.S. affiliate (like Credit Karma)

Responsibilities

• Own the economics and growth strategy for key acquisition channels for U.S. personal loans. You will operate as the local “CEO” with real decision-making authority to drive resilient growth
• Lead and manage relationships with marketing affiliates, partners, and suppliers. You will lead on negotiating performance, monitoring quality, and ensuring a strong pipeline of scalable opportunities
• Balance tradeoffs between cost, credit, and product experience. You will make sharp decisions across CAC, approval rates, risk outcomes, and conversion to maximise long-term contribution margin
• Be hands-on with data. You will drive your own analysis, uncover insights, and generate recommendations using SQL and analytics tooling…not just review dashboards
• Manage and improve the acquisition funnel end-to-end, optimising for volume, cost and credit quality; spot performance changes quickly and take action
• Deeply understand key third-party and partner ranking algorithms / channel mechanics, and feed insights into pricing, credit policy and product strategy
• Work closely with Credit, Product, and Engineering to drive the roadmap in areas impacting funnel performance (pricing levers, eligibility logic, decisioning, UX flows)
• Identify new opportunities for growth by combining quantitative insight and qualitative judgement, forming a clear view on how to capture more of the market and how to measure success

Benefits

• 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
