Key responsibilities:
- Own strategic and operational initiatives from problem definition and business case development through execution and results measurement

- Collaborate across product, engineering, operations, finance, and compliance to unblock decisions and deliver on shared priorities
- Lead partnerships with external providers (banks, processors, strategic partners) when relevant to your projects
The role offers significant autonomy and impact. You'll operate in a high-growth environment where things move quickly and every person shapes the product, culture, and trajectory of the company.
Office policy: 3-4 days per week in-office in New York.
