Aspire is a financial operating system for global founders, combining banking, software, and automation into a single platform. The company has grown to serve over 50,000 startups and businesses worldwide since 2018, backed by Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, and partnered with J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise.
As General Manager US, you will lead Aspire's expansion and acceleration in the United States market. This is not a greenfield licensing role, but rather an opportunity to scale an already-established market into its next growth phase. You will shape strategic direction, own key stakeholder relationships, and drive execution against business objectives.
Key responsibilities include:
- Accelerating Aspire's US presence in close collaboration with global and regional teams
- Developing and implementing business strategy for the US market aligned with company vision and goals

- Driving business development and ICP unlocks to identify and secure strategic partnerships, clients, and opportunities that expand market presence and customer base
- Collaborating with product, marketing, and customer support teams to execute successful product launches, marketing campaigns, and customer satisfaction initiatives
You will work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where you can read market trends, spot opportunities, and translate them into effective business strategy. The role requires strong interpersonal skills to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels, and comfort navigating ambiguity and complexity.
Requirements:
- 10+ years in a leadership role, ideally in fintech or financial services
- Strong understanding of the US market landscape, business practices, and customer needs
- Proven track record of driving business growth, expanding market share, and hitting revenue targets, especially with B2B SME experience
- Excellent leadership skills with experience building and managing high-stakes projects and high-performing teams
- Strategic mindset with ability to read market trends and turn opportunities into effective business strategy
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills to engage and influence stakeholders at every level
- Comfort thriving in fast-paced, dynamic environments while navigating ambiguity and complexity
