Front-Line Operations Agent

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

The Front-Line Operations Agent plays a vital customer-facing role, responsible for delivering high-quality support for a designated Lendable product, encompassing both general customer service and financial support. You will follow established processes to resolve a variety of complex customer queries, ensuring interactions are efficient, accurate, and empathetic—applying your cross-functional expertise across general service needs and more intricate financial support situations. By taking ownership of every enquiry from first contact to final resolution, you will not only deliver exceptional customer outcomes but also provide actionable feedback and insights to help improve our automated tools and AI-driven customer journeys. This role is key in ensuring our service continually evolves to better meet the needs of all customers. You’ll be based in our Chatham office, joining the team on-site three days a week. You’ll work two weekends a month, but to keep your work-life balance in check, you’ll get a day in lieu the week before to ensure you never work more than five days a week.
