$16,942 more — $191,942 — moves this role to Level II and 2 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $191,942 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Marketing Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- Cardless operates at the intersection of financial infrastructure, brand partnerships, and capital markets - and the distance between what the market thinks of Cardless and what we actually do is where growth either accelerates or stalls.
- Those two things should come from the same person and the same story, especially at this stage.
- You'll need to be comfortable positioning for both audiences - the enterprise buyer evaluating a platform, and the eventual cardholder experience that buyer is signing up for.
Responsibilities
- Translate that positioning into language that works for two audiences at once: the enterprise partner evaluating a platform, and the consumer who eventually carries the card.
- Bring an outside-in view into internal roadmap conversations, grounded in what's actually resonating - or not - with partners and prospects.
- Own the Website and Brand Narrative
- Own content strategy, structure, and copy for cardless.com http://cardless.com, keeping it current with new launches, partnerships, and proof points.
- Direct design and engineering resources to execute changes - you set the narrative and the bar, you don't need to build the page yourself.
- Build the Sales Toolkit
- Build and maintain the core sales collateral - pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, competitive battlecards, RFP boilerplate - that the Business team actually uses in real conversations.
- Turn live partner wins - Coinbase, Bilt, and whoever's next - into case studies and proof points that make the next pitch more credible.
- ✈️ 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
- A track record of owning both a company website and the sales collateral built from the same narrative - not just one or the other.
- Experience working directly and iteratively with sales/partnerships teams - collateral gets built and rebuilt based on what happens in real deals.
Nice to have
- 5-8+ years in product marketing, with real ownership of positioning and messaging at a B2B or B2B2C company.
- Fintech, payments, or card issuing experience is a strong plus.
Skills
- Narrative and Positioning Craft:
- Two-Audience Fluency (B2B2C):
- Design Direction, Not Design Execution:
Compensation
- This role has an annual starting salary range of $175,000-$220,000 + 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
Company info
- Cardless is at the kind of inflection point that produces the best operator roles:
- a company that has found product-market fit, raised the capital to scale, and now faces a specific and solvable problem - the distance between what the market is asking for and what the product team is building needs to shrink, fast.
- The strongest talent in the market is going to AI labs or starting companies.
- Cardless recruits from the band in between:
- operators who are not certain about their next move but know they want meaningful impact and the opportunity to do the best work of their careers.
- If that description fits you, this is the role.
- We're looking for someone who's genuinely excited to be there alongside the team.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Cardless powers cards on all three major networks (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) and uses agentic servicing to operate at a fraction of the headcount and cost that traditional card issuers require.
