What We’re Looking for

We’re entering the credit space with a new offering: embedded credit programs that empower brands to offer their own branded credit cards or lines of credit. We’re seeking a strategic and entrepreneurial sales leader to drive this initiative from the ground up. This role will lead the go-to-market efforts and be responsible for identifying, closing, and launching credit partnerships between program owners (e.g., retailers or fintechs), sponsor banks, and capital providers.

The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of credit card and lending programs, including underwriting, servicing, and capital partnerships, and thrives in fast-paced, uncharted environments. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with product, compliance, and engineering to bring programs to life while shaping our credit sales motion and partnership playbook.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the go-to-market strategy and execution for our new credit program offering, helping program owners design and launch branded credit cards or lines of credit
  • Identify, engage, and close partnerships with potential program sponsors–consumer-facing companies that want to offer credit products to their users
  • Act as the key orchestrator across a multi-party deal cycle involving sponsor banks, capital providers, and technology partners
  • Educate prospective partners on the value and mechanics of embedded credit products, including underwriting, interest calculation, late fee servicing, and compliance considerations
  • Partner with internal stakeholders (product, compliance, legal) to bring credit programs from signed deal to live implementation
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to client executives and technical stakeholders, guiding them through the decision-making and onboarding process
  • Continuously refine our sales strategy, messaging, and processes based on market learnings and partner feedback

What You’ll Bring

  • 4+ years of experience in fintech, lending, or financial partnerships, ideally with a focus on credit cards, embedded lending, or capital markets
  • Familiarity with credit program structures and partners–sponsor banks, capital providers, servicers, and embedded credit platforms
  • Proven ability to close complex, multi-party deals involving financial institutions and technology integrations
  • Deep understanding of lending mechanics: underwriting criteria, interest accrual, late fee structures, credit score implications, and compliance
  • Strategic thinking combined with a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves mentality; this is especially important as we build this program from the ground up
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align technical and executive audiences
  • A strong network in the fintech, consumer lending, or embedded finance ecosystem is a plus
  • High ownership mentality and a bias for action in fast-paced, early-stage environments
