The posting

We’re on a mission to make migration easy.

We started building Marshmallow in 2017. Since then, we’ve grown from 3 to 700+ people, gained unicorn status, raised ~£140M over three funding rounds, turned profitable, insured millions of drivers and lent millions in car loans.

But we’re only just getting started. Our goal is to become one of the largest financial services providers in the world. Over the next 10 years we’ll grow exponentially, not only by scaling our existing products, but also by building new ones.

To achieve our goals we need incredibly ambitious, commercially driven people who never settle for ‘good enough’. Marshmallowers are hungry for autonomy and ownership, and would rather improve than coast. Everyone raises standards and has an impact, with a focus on collective success over self-interest.

We’ve created an environment where curious, tenacious people win and grow together. If that sounds motivating, this could be the place for you.

THE ROLE

We’re hiring an operations leader to own collections and customer service for our car finance book, and to build that function into one that can carry 100 times our current volume.

Our operations team is responsible for supporting customers with anything they need: settlements, payment date changes, forbearance arrangements, underwriting, and so much more. Working in a regulated consumer credit space means there are a wide range of regulations and laws that we need to take into account, while also ensuring we put customers first.

We're using tech and AI to build an AI-native operations function, and we're looking for this person to work alongside our engineers to automate everything automatable, while keeping humans involved where human input is required.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll set the strategy and manage the team, but you’ll also take calls, run QA, coach individuals and take the hardest cases yourself.

The role reports into the General Manager, Car Finance

- Build relationships with brokers and dealers and ensure our underwriting and pay out processes meet their needs

- Own key commercial outcomes around servicing and collections, including reporting up to the car finance leadership team and key group stakeholders

- Work with our engineering team to build a highly efficient, AI-native operations function that supports and complements customer-centric expert

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

Must have

- Significant operational leadership experience in regulated financial services

- Deep working knowledge of UK consumer credit conduct requirements

- Experience running or building an operations function through a period of volume growth

- Comfort using data to set priorities, size problems and evidence decisions

- Ability to adapt to AI-native and tech-enabled ways of working

Nice to have

- Motor finance or hire purchase experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
