The short version

The systems that make growth run, owned by one very capable builder with AI agents doing the heavy lifting. Data, attribution, automation and the AI capability that sits alongside our lending operations: if it runs behind the scenes and makes the business faster, it is yours. No team to manage. No committee between you and shipping.

About Level

Level is the UK's leading specialist lender for family law and probate proceedings. During a divorce or while an estate is being settled, assets are often held in one party's name, which can leave the other side unable to fund proper representation or to cover the costs of getting probate done. We lend against those situations so that solicitors and their clients can proceed on a level footing.

Ten years in, we are profitable, we lead our main market, and we still work like a startup.

Why this role exists

Our founder has built a business with real demand and relationships competitors have not matched. A Chief Growth Officer joined this summer, a serial startup founder himself, to build the growth function alongside him and to put AI properly to work across the company.

The bet is simple: one excellent builder, armed with agents and the freedom to use them, now does the work that used to need a systems team. Well-built systems take the repetitive work out of people's days so their time goes on judgement and relationships. You would work directly with the CGO, who is hands on and makes decisions in hours rather than weeks.

What you would own

• The outbound data and sequencing estate. Enrichment, list building and the pipelines that keep our professional audiences current and usable.
• Attribution, end to end. From first click through to funded loan, so the business can say which marketing produced which lending and what it cost.
• One set of numbers everyone works from. A weekly view of the funnel by product and by channel, produced by a system, plus the reporting stack that grows out of it.
• The AI capability layer. Coded rules make the routing decisions and do the arithmetic, AI reads and drafts, and a person makes every judgement call. Everything is proven in shadow mode against real decisions before it goes anywhere near a customer. We are FCA-regulated, so logging and auditability are designed in from the start.
• Internal tooling that gives colleagues leverage on work they currently do by hand.

The brief

Come in and get the growth machinery built. We want systems and agents that compound, so that by month six the engine runs on things you built and gets better every week. You decide the build order with the CGO, ship fast, prove things in shadow mode, and move on to the next thing.

Tools and boundaries

Salesforce is our core system and stays that way for now. Development inside the platform belongs to our engineering team, and you specify that work rather than doing it yourself. Everything outside the platform is yours to choose and build. We have no attachment to any tool we cannot justify.

What we are looking for

Someone at the learning edge of AI. The kind of person who is on X when a new model or agent framework drops and has it working in the business that week. You do not need a computer science degree, and we do not mind whether you write code by hand or build with agents. You do need to have shipped working software that other people depend on, and to stand behind it when someone asks how it works and what happens when it breaks.

Someone who does not care about having a team. You care about getting stuff done, and about the freedom to build, test and kill things quickly instead of pushing work through a slow corporate machine.

Lending or fintech experience is not required. The lending knowledge is already here. What we will look at hardest is what you have built.

Why the seat is a good one

Unusual latitude for a company of our size: a clear remit, a direct line to the person setting strategy, and no committee between you and shipping. Growth is where you start. As AI capability spreads across the company, the same skills are needed well beyond it, so the remit widens as fast as you can carry it.

Apply with:

1. Your CV
2. A short answer to one question: the most useful thing you have automated, and what it replaced.
3. Something you have built that we can look at, personal or work. A link, a repo or a two-minute screen recording all work. Built beats described.

We read the answer and the examples before the CV. Cover letter optional.

We run a speedy process and expect days between stages, not weeks. August is holiday season here and we will still make time for people worth talking to.

Closing date: 30th Sep 2026
