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, among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK.
So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. 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.
We are looking for the first data scientist to own the data science strategy for non-lending products. You will partner with the managing directors to define what to build from a data science perspective and lead the delivery of the data science projects. Car Insurance is our first venture into non-lending products, presenting a sophisticated new domain for our data strategy.
You are able to think strategically about commercial products and how decisions using data can unlock more value for our customers. You will directly report to the Head of Data Science (Catherine Chen) who is managing the data science team.
- Own the data science roadmap to contribute to new product expansion.
- Gather requirements internally and externally to define the success of the data science projects.
- Drive exciting data science projects from both strategic level and tactical level.
- Be a great mentor to a team of talented data scientists and the broader analytics community.
Successful track record of managing data science projects, with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.
Extensive knowledge of the financial services industry, including the products, data, typical ML applications, and related regulations.
Excellent technical skills in Python, SQL, and statistics.
Hands-on experience across the model lifecycle from scoping and model development to deployment and monitoring.
Experience of working in insurance, telco or consulting in financial services industry.
Final interviews with Head of Data Science and Chief Risk Officer.
