Executive Assistant (12 month FTC)

*This is a 12 month maternity cover*

LendInvest is the UK’s leading fintech platform for property finance. Since starting out in 2008 we’ve lent more than £4 billion of mortgages and have helped to put thousands of new or improved homes into the UK housing market. In that time we’ve built a truly international capital base. Today, our funders and investors include pension funds, insurers and global institutions like HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and National Australia Bank. In 2019 we became the first UK Fintech to securitise a portfolio of buy-to-let mortgages. We are a multiple award-winning company and have been proudly profitable since 2015. In July 2021 this all came to fruition as we IPO’d on the London Stock Exchange.
