Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • We're building a larger, dedicated Platform team at Lendable to reinvest in infrastructure after a deliberate trade-off earlier in the year prioritised new product development.
- • The Technical PM will sit within engineering and own the intersection between platform infrastructure and commercial value.
- • The role is commercially accountable, owning platform stability, and the platform roadmap.
- • The Technical PM will partner closely with the Platform Engineering Manager and the Platform Tech Lead.
- • The role requires a deep, hands-on engineering background, strong commercial instinct, and exceptional stakeholder management.
- • The Technical PM will contribute as an engineer, writing code, reviewing PRs, and participating in architecture design.
- • Own platform stability as a primary accountability - SLA/SLO metrics, incident rates, release quality.
- • Hold release gating authority: block features from production that don't meet testing standards or introduce unacceptable regression risk.
- • Enforce CI/CD standards centrally so pods don't fragment into one-off solutions.
- • Track and report stability metrics alongside commercial outcomes - stability is the foundation that makes the rest possible.
- • Be commercially accountable - own the business case for platform investment and answer 'why are we spending six engineers on this for three months?' in terms leadership understands.
- • Track platform impact in business terms: developer velocity, incident cost, time-to-market, reliability, capacity.
- • Input into headcount and investment decisions for the platform team.
- • Own the platform roadmap - own the platform backlog, prioritised by business value and sequenced to unblock the highest-value product teams first.
- • Make trade-offs explicit: 'if we do X now, we defer Y by Z weeks - here's what that means for products depending on us'.
- • Ensure every initiative has a defined success metric that non-engineers can track.
- • Be the stakeholder interface - act as the single point of contact for Pod Leads: business requirements coming from pods and engineering/developer requirements flowing to pods.
- • Make platform work visible to leadership - regular forums with product MDs and PMs to capture upcoming dependencies before they become blockers.
- • Drive cross-team collaboration and buy-in with other PMs; engage architecture in technical design.
- • Escalate when product teams make requests that would create unsustainable platform load or technical debt.
- • Contribute as an engineer - write code, review PRs, and participate in architecture design as a core part of the role - not a side project.
- • Bring a strong technical voice to roadmap decisions without owning final architecture calls (that's Architecture and Tech Leads).
🎯 Requirements
- • Deep, hands-on engineering background - this role must be staffed by someone who has shipped production systems, not someone who has only managed backlogs.
- • Strong commercial instinct: can build a business case, speak to P&L impact, and hold a line on ROI.
- • Exceptional stakeholder management across product, engineering, and finance without direct line authority over all of them.
- • Comfortable with ambiguity - platform value is often indirect and long-horizon.
- • Track record of contributing as an IC while operating at a senior, cross-team level.
- • Proactive, low-ego, and clear communicator - able to hold a line with leadership and pod leads alike.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Winning team: the opportunity to scale up one of the world’s most successful fintech companies.
- • Flexible working: flexible approach tailored to each role.
- • Socials & connection: opportunities and events to come together, socialise, and get to know each other beyond the office walls.
- • Health coverage: support for your physical and mental wellbeing, including private health cover.
- • Retirement & savings: long-term financial wellbeing through retirement savings plans.
- • Employee referral programme: earn a competitive bonus when you refer successful new team members.
- • Office meals & snacks: enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, plus complimentary lunches prepared by in-house chefs on in-office days at select locations.
- • Sustainable commuting: cycle-to-work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes available in select locations.
