About the role
- Cardless is at an inflection point: the company has found product-market fit, raised the capital to scale, and is now executing against a clear roadmap to profitability.
- The work is consequential and the pace is fast.
- Launches are the moments the whole company organizes around, and this role sits at the center of every one.
Responsibilities
- Own the launch plan for new brand programs from signed deals to cards in wallets - the timeline, the dependencies, the DRIs, and the single source of truth everyone works from.
- Manage and execute the launch process and associated trackers on a daily basis: daily standups, partner syncs, and executive updates. Everyone should always know what's on track, what's at risk, and what you need from them.
- Coordinate partners and vendors
- Act as the launch-facing point of contact for the brand partner's team, and manage the shared plan across both companies.
- Coordinate deliverables across the issuing bank, card networks, processors, and vendors - each with their own timelines, requirements, and quirks.
- Cardless is building the infrastructure for the world's best companies to design, build, and launch financial products.
- Companies like Coinbase and Bilt use Cardless to create credit cards that feel entirely their own.
- Our APIs and components shape the journey from the first application to every purchase, reward, and moment of support that follows, while we handle lending, compliance, and operations behind the scenes.
- ✈️ Team building events & happy hours
- We're in the office at least three days a week, and most of us are there more than that, because we do our best thinking and building together in person.
Requirements
- 2-6 years in roles where you shipped complex cross-functional work: launch or program management, operations, consulting, banking, or early-stage startup operating roles.
- Find blockers early and clear them yourself where you can - and when you do need to escalate, come with a proposed answer.
- Comfortable across functions: You can follow an engineering conversation about an integration cutover and a compliance conversation about disclosures, and explain each side to the other.
- You won't be the expert in most of these rooms, but you can never be lost in them.
Compensation
- This role has an annual starting salary range of $145,000-$180,000 + equity + benefits.
- Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skills, experience, and specific work location.
Benefits
- We're proud to offer our team excellent benefits:
- 💸 Meaningful Start-up equity
- 🏥 100% health, vision & dental primary coverage
- ➕ 75% health, vision & dental dependent coverage
- 🚎 $250/month Commuter benefit
- 👶 Parental leave
- 🌴 Flexible PTO with a minimum of 15 days off per year
- We see what could be improved, make it so, and leave every product, system, and team better than we found it.
Company info
- We're looking for kind, humble people with high standards and low egos.
- We're looking for someone who's genuinely excited to be there alongside the team.
- the company has found product-market fit, raised the capital to scale, and is now executing against a clear roadmap to profitability.
- Learn (and track) how each function does its part of a launch: credit policy and underwriting setup, program configuration, rewards design, funding and settlement, compliance and bank approvals, fraud controls, servicing readiness, and card fulfillment.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Cardless powers cards on all three major networks (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) and uses AI-powered servicing to operate at a fraction of the headcount traditional card issuers require.
