About Cardless

About the role

Cardless is a fast-moving company where high-stakes conversations happen constantly — with partners, investors, and the board. This role exists to make sure those conversations land well. You will be the person who turns a rough idea into a polished deck, a meeting agenda into a tight follow-up, and a pile of data into a clear story.

What they're looking for

  • 3–5 years of professional experience, with a strong preference for backgrounds in management consulting or investment banking. Operations, finance are also relevant
  • A track record of building presentation materials that get used, not just delivered — you know what a good slide looks like, and you know the difference between a deck that informs and one that persuades
  • Experience supporting senior leaders in high-stakes settings: preparing them for important meetings, managing follow-through, and keeping complex work organized
  • Exposure to financial services or fintech is a plus, but not required. Intellectual curiosity about the space is required
  • Deck-Building and Visual Storytelling: You know how to structure a narrative, make a slide scannable, and build a deck that moves an audience through a decision. You have strong instincts for what belongs and what doesn’t
  • Written Communication: You write with clarity and economy. Your memos and summaries don’t need editing. You can take a complex situation and reduce it to its essential elements without losing nuance
