Operations Product Manager

We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.

You will spot inefficiency of our operational processes across customer service and collections, build the case for automating it, and then actually make it happen. You will bridge business needs with engineering execution, turning messy real-world problems into clean, impactful solutions.

This is a high-impact role for someone early in their career who is exceptionally curious and operates with real autonomy.

You will be based in London, and also need spend some time in our operational centre in Milton Keynes
