About the Role

As the Security Operations Lead, you will take strategic and operational ownership of Lendable’s internal SecOps capability and serve as the technical relationship owner of our external Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). You will act as our primary incident responder, with a strategic view on how Lendable’s operational defence should mature as we grow. This is a high-impact, senior individual contributor role with a path to management, looking for a "player-coach" who can execute deep 2nd and 3rd-line technical analysis today, while strategically designing and building out our internal SecOps function and team over the coming year.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary Incident Commander for high-severity security escalations, coordinating cross-functional response efforts.
Act as the escalation point for technical investigations triggered by the MSSP first line team.
Maintain and evolve Lendable’s Security Crisis Management plan, running regular tabletop exercises to ensure business-wide readiness for systemic and supply-chain risks.
Serve as the ultimate authority over our external MSSP, defining KRIs/KPIs, running rigorous service reviews, and holding the provider to strict detection quality standards.
Own Lendable's detection engineering roadmap, ensuring comprehensive, high-fidelity log ingestion pipelines across all corporate and cloud assets.
Oversee the vulnerability management lifecycle, partnering with IT and Engineering to drive automated remediation workflows.
Develop a Threat Intel capability that translates external threats into actionable, proactive defences.
Take operational security ownership across our foundational tech stack, continuously optimising our posture across domains such as EDR, Email Security, DLP, and IAM.
Drive the technical roadmap for SecOps maturity, systematically closing visibility gaps, optimising operational metrics, and introducing AI-augmented capabilities.
Design the future-state roadmap for the SecOps function, architecting the requirement for team expansion as technical capabilities scale.

Requirements

Extensive experience in modern Security Operations, specifically acting as an Incident Commander or Lead Responder in high-stakes environments.
A clear, modern philosophy on how a SecOps function should run, prioritising automation and vendor optimisation over linear headcount growth.
Familiarity with modern tech stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines).
Ability to leverage automation (Python, scripting, or automation platforms) to optimise analyst workflows.
Highly comfortable executing as a senior IC on day one, with the presence and leadership maturity to transition into a team manager.

About the Company

Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money.
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.
