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

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
