SEO & Content Manager (Contract)

Lendio is building awareness and credibility for two related growth priorities: Embedded Lending (enabling SaaS platforms to offer business funding inside their product) and a turndown partnership model for banks (routing declined borrowers to Lendio rather than losing them).

Both share the same core idea: meet small businesses at the moment of need, through the partners they already trust.

This role requires someone comfortable building the foundation, not just adding to a library that already exists.
