About the role
- Cardless doesn't just need people who believe in the story - it needs people outside the company writing about it, sharing it, and validating it before a prospect ever gets on a call with us.
- You'll pitch journalists, draft releases, and line up the interviews and speaking opportunities that put Cardless leadership in front of the right audiences.
- This role reports to the Chief Business Officer.
Responsibilities
- Build and Maintain Press Relationships
- Build and maintain relationships with the reporters, editors, and outlets who cover fintech, payments, and the consumer brands Cardless partners with - before you need something from them, not just when a launch is imminent.
- Drive Executive Visibility
- Build a cadence of thought leadership that reinforces Cardless's positioning over time, rather than one-off appearances with no throughline.
- Land Partner and Launch Announcements
- Plan and execute PR around new brand partnerships going live - Coinbase, Bilt, and whoever's next - including joint announcements co-owned with the partner's own communications team.
- Navigate partner comms approval processes so joint announcements land on time, accurately, and in a way both companies are comfortable with.
- Turn each partner launch into a press moment that reinforces Cardless's broader market narrative, not just a standalone announcement.
- ✈️ Team building events & happy hours
Compensation
- This role has an annual starting salary range of $175,000-$220,000 + equity + benefits.

Company info
- You know what's actually a story and what isn't, and you can shape a company update into something a reporter wants to write.
- You will be evaluated on the quality, frequency, and accuracy of the coverage you generate, and on how well partner and company milestones land publicly when they matter.
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.
