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. This role exists to close that gap.

What they're looking for

  • 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
  • A track record of owning both a company website and the sales collateral built from the same narrative — not just one or the other
  • Strong writer who can translate a complex financial/technical product into a clear story for enterprise buyers, and a separate but consistent story for consumer-facing card marketing
  • A builder, not just a strategist — this is a hands-on IC role at a company with no existing PMM function. You'll write the deck yourself, not just brief someone to
  • Experience working directly and iteratively with sales/partnerships teams — collateral gets built and rebuilt based on what happens in real deals
  • Comfortable directing outside design/creative resources to get production-quality output without needing to be the one designing
More about this role

Cardless is a Series C consumer fintech that uses AI to make it easy for the world's largest brands to build credit cards into their ecosystems. Think Shopify, but for credit cards. Brands use Cardless to configure, launch, and grow credit card programs that delight their customers and strengthen their core business.

Customers include Coinbase, Bilt Rewards, Alibaba, Qatar Airways, and LATAM Airlines. 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.

Cardless raised a $60 million Series C led by Spark Capital in September 2025, bringing total funding past $170 million. The team is past 70 people and scaling toward profitability by year-end 2026.

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. This role exists to close that gap.

Cardless is hiring its first product marketing hire — a senior, hands-on PMM who will define how we talk about...
