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 600 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

  1. 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


  2. Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo


  3. Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting



About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Analyst to run marketing and growth analytics in our rapidly evolving multi-product app. As Lendable scales its products across lending, engagement features and other financial services, the complexity and volume of data-driven decisions have grown exponentially. This role is central to unlocking insights that will shape our drive acquisition efficiency and fuel product innovation, overseeing the full breadth of digital and non-digital channels across multiple products.


You will be the senior analytical voice across our Zable direct marketing initiatives - owning end-to-end marketing funnel data, capture requirements, insight generation, experimentation strategy, and advanced analytics projects. Beyond individual contribution, you will instill best practices and be a key thought partner to product, growth, and engineering leaders.


What You'll Do
Impact & Analytical Leadership

  • Analyse marketing campaign performance across multiple channels and conduct analyses to identify trends and opportunities for optimisation


  • Structure and execute high-impact analyses in acquisition funnels to inform marketing spend and product evolution


  • Drive experimentation rigor: design, implement, and analyze A/B tests, multivariate experiments, and cohort studies


  • Co-operate with product and credit teams to ensure mid to deep funnel performance is improved.



Data Product Involvement

  • Influence data architecture by contributing to schema design that enable more insights


  • Build high quality, scalable pipelines and transformations that increase interpretability of data and increase the teams’ agility



Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Serve as a thought partner to Product Managers and Credit Managers - ensuring analytical insight drives roadmap prioritisation and credit assessments.


  • Collaborate with the creative and design team to deepen insights at the creative and campaign level to enhance prioritisation of their ideas.



What We're Looking For
Core Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in data analytics, ideally within a product-led or high-growth tech environment


  • Deep expertise in analytical methods including funnel optimisation, segmentation, cohort analysis, LTV modelling, and regression techniques.


  • High proficiency in SQL and strong command of one or more analytics tools or statistical packages (e.g., Python, R).


  • Hands-on experience with DBT and familiarity with data modelling best practices


  • Skilled in experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, hypothesis testing, causal inference).


  • Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous problems into structured, hypothesis-driven, data-supported insights.


  • Excellent communication skills with experience influencing cross-functional stakeholders and product leaders.



Nice to Have

  • Experience in credit marketing (credit cards, loans, car finance etc.)


  • Experience with paid media platforms (Google Ads, Meta, Tiktok etc.) and working with marketing teams


  • Experience building or contributing to Marketing Mix Models or incrementality testing frameworks.


  • Familiarity with data instrumentation and schema design in product development cycles



Interview process:



  • Screening call


  • Take home task and cognitive tests


  • Case study


  • Final Interview



Life at Lendable

  • 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

Data Science Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Thinking about switching into data science in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re far from alone. Across the UK, businesses are investing in data science talent to turn data into insight, support better decisions and unlock competitive advantage. But with all the hype about machine learning, Python, AI and data unicorns, it can be hard to separate real opportunities from noise. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check on data science careers for mid-life career switchers — what roles really exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining typically takes, what UK recruiters actually look for and how to craft a compelling career pivot story. Whether you come from finance, marketing, operations, research, project management or another field entirely, there are meaningful pathways into data science — and age itself is not the barrier many people fear.

How to Write a Data Science Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data science plays a critical role in how organisations across the UK make decisions, build products and gain competitive advantage. From forecasting and personalisation to risk modelling and experimentation, data scientists help translate data into insight and action. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data science candidates. Job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the mix of analytical skill, business understanding and communication ability the role actually requires. At the same time, experienced data scientists skip over adverts that feel vague, inflated or misaligned with real data science work. In most cases, the issue is not a lack of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data scientists are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and immature data practices. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data science job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a strong data employer.

Maths for Data Science Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data science jobs in the UK, the maths can feel like a moving target. Job descriptions say “strong statistical knowledge” or “solid ML fundamentals” but they rarely tell you which topics you will actually use day to day. Here’s the truth: most UK data science roles do not require advanced pure maths. What they do require is confidence with a tight set of practical topics that come up repeatedly in modelling, experimentation, forecasting, evaluation, stakeholder comms & decision-making. This guide focuses on the only maths most data scientists keep using: Statistics for decision making (confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, power, uncertainty) Probability for real-world data (base rates, noise, sampling, Bayesian intuition) Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Calculus & gradients (enough to understand optimisation & backprop) Optimisation & model evaluation (loss functions, cross-validation, metrics, thresholds) You’ll also get a 6-week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.
