Affiliate Marketing Executive

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.

We’re entering a once-in-a-company moment: a major step-change in our D2C marketing investment, a full rebrand of the company and product under the Zable brand, and a marketing function being built out at pace under a newly-appointed CMO. This is one of the most exciting marketing builds in UK fintech right now, with the financial strength, customer base, and product depth to back it up.

Finding and signing new affiliate and influencer partners is the core of our growth engine going forward, and we’re building the team to power it. We’re looking for an Affiliate & Influencer Acquisition Executive whose core mission is sourcing brand-new partners — not just managing the ones we already have. Reporting to a Head of Growth Partnerships, you’ll own the full new-partner funnel end-to-end: mapping affiliates and influencers we don’t work with yet, running outbound outreach, and negotiating CPA or fixed-fee deals structured so every partnership delivers measurable, incremental customer acquisition.

This is an acquisition-first partnership seat: you’ll spend as much time prospecting and pitching new affiliates and influencers as you do modelling payback economics. If you think in CPA, fixed-fee and incremental CAC as naturally as you think in relationships, this role is built for you.

Essential:

• Proven track record sourcing and closing brand-new affiliate or influencer partnerships from scratch this is a new-business role, not just account management
• 2-3+ years in affiliate marketing, acquisition or performance marketing roles for a consumer brand
• Fluent in core acquisition performance metrics – CPA, fixed-fee, LTV, ROI and blended CAC and confident structuring CPA or fixed-fee deals that guarantee incremental acquisition
• Working knowledge of channel economics: payback period, cohort behaviour, and how partnership spend compares against other acquisition channels
• Direct experience running affiliate and/or influencer partnership end to end, including commercial negotiation (not just relationship management)
• Track record of running activations end-to-end and delivering measurable results
• Strong account / relationship management skills
• Comfortable with the data — channel economics, attribution and ROI
• Highly organised and detail-oriented — you can run multiple activations in parallel
• Strong commercial communicator — you can hold your own with senior…
