We are a fast moving and ambitious business that seeks to recruit smart and capable people, who can take ownership of their role to help the business thrive. With over 200 people based in Australia, Plenti is small enough so everyone can make a difference in their role, but we have very big ambitions as a team, as we go about building Australia’s best lender.

What's the role?
Are you a strong people leader with a background in loan settlements and verification? Do you thrive on building team capability, improving processes, and ensuring quality outcomes? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for a Settlements Team Leader to lead a team of up to 10 talented individuals focused on delivering high-quality verification outcomes. In this role, you’ll be responsible for ensuring compliance, accuracy, and operational excellence across all settlement processes.
You’ll take the lead on daily quality assurance activities, monthly reviews, and coaching your team to meet and exceed performance targets. As the primary point of contact for escalations and issue resolution, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining trust and efficiency within our settlement operations.
What you’ll be doing:
• Lead & Empower – Manage, coach, and develop a team of Verification Officers (including senior roles) to ensure a high level of performance, engagement, and accuracy.
• Drive Quality – Oversee quality assurance checks and ensure all verification activities meet company standards, regulatory requirements, and SLAs.
• Improve Processes – Identify gaps, inefficiencies, or roadblocks in workflows and drive practical solutions and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Monitor & Report – Track key metrics (KPIs), provide performance insights, and present recommendations to leadership for improved outcomes.
• Own Escalations – Be the go-to for resolving verification-related issues, working closely with internal teams to ensure timely and accurate settlements.
• Support Operations – Manage daily queues, assist with onboarding new team members, and keep operations running smoothly.
What we’re looking for:
• 3–5 years of people leadership experience within financial services – ideally in loan settlements or verification.
• A strong understanding of financial regulations, customer verification standards, and risk assessment principles.
• A natural coach and motivator, with a proven ability to build and sustain high-performing teams.
• A continuous improvement mindset, with experience identifying and driving process enhancements.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
