Compliance Associate at Lendable — Remote

## 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

## About the role

As Compliance Associate, you'll join Zendable's US Compliance department in a role that supports two primary functions: supporting Legal & Compliance (L&C) leadership on cross-functional projects, and partnering with the Compliance Management System (CMS) team on program oversight. You’ll be primarily responsible for project managing strategic initiatives for L&C leadership and supporting the day-to-day rigor of the CMS — policies and procedures, training, monitoring and testing, complaints and issues management, and audits.

This is a role for someone who moves fast, thinks in systems, and is comfortable being the person who keeps a dozen moving pieces on track without losing sight of the regulatory details that matter. You'll bring an AI-first mentality to how you work, looking for ways to use tools and automation to move faster and surface insights that a manual process would miss.

You'll work closely with the CMS team as well as stakeholders across Legal, Risk, Product, and Zendable's bank partners.

## Your objectives in this role

• Deliver a well-organized, well-documented portfolio of L&C projects that move at the pace the business needs
• Help maintain a CMS that meets regulatory expectations and stands up to bank partner and examiner scrutiny
• Support audits and exams with organized, audit-ready evidence and responsive project management
• Bring an AI-first mindset that uses automation as a first instinct, not an afterthought

## How you'll impact those objectives

• Own project plans, timelines, and status tracking for L&C leadership's strategic initiatives
• Translate ambiguous or evolving priorities into clear workstreams, owners, and deadlines
• Prepare leadership-ready updates, briefing materials, and meeting agendas
• Identify bottlenecks before they become blockers and drive a sense of urgency across stakeholders
• Compliance Program Support
• Support the maintenance and periodic review of policies and procedures and compliance training, ensuring they reflect current regulatory requirements and business practices
• Assist in executing the monitoring and testing calendar, documenting findings, and tracking remediation to closure
• Support complaints and issues management, analyzing data to spot trends and recurring root causes
• Prepare documentation and coordinate logistics for internal and external audits and exams
• Use AI tools to accelerate document review, data analysis, and reporting wherever it creates a genuine efficiency gain

## What you need to succeed in this role

• Experience in a compliance, risk, or regulatory project/program management role within a fintech/bank partnership environment
• Hands-on experience with Jira and Confluence for compliance program tracking and documentation
• Familiarity with bank partnership management, including working across compliance requirements set by partner banks
• Solid knowledge of US financial services regulations (e.g., UDAAP, TILA, ECOA, FCRA, BSA/AML, GLBA, as applicable to the business)
• Sharp analytical skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret data and spot patterns
• A genuine sense of urgency and a bias toward action
• An AI-first mentality — comfortable evaluating and adopting AI tools to work smarter and faster
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to work across leadership, subject-matter experts, and external partners
