Build credit into your product experience. Run it end to end with modular APIs, pre-built components, analytics, and full-service infrastructure. Backed by Pear VC.
About the role
We're looking for a program manager to own the day-to-day working relationship between Cardless and the banks that issue our cards, and to run new card programs from signed deal to live launch. You will be our bank partners' primary point of contact, the person who knows where every open item stands and keeps each partner informed early.
What they're looking for
- You have personally sat across from a bank or a regulator as the person responsible for a program, a deliverable, or a response
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder relationships where technical, legal, and business considerations all have to be balanced, working cross-functionally with compliance, legal, product, and engineering
- Strong writing. You can take a messy cross-functional situation and produce a clear, accurate, partner-ready document from a blank page
- A bias toward early communication. You would rather raise a risk now than have a partner learn of it late, and you can describe a time you did
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, building process where none exists yet, and using data and AI tools to work more efficiently
- You live within a reasonable commute of our San Francisco office, or you are relocating before you start (see the note on location below)
More about this role
Cardless is building the infrastructure for the world's best companies to design, build, and launch financial products of their own. Companies like Coinbase and Bilt use Cardless to create credit cards that feel entirely their own. In an industry where branded financial products usually mean shared logos and shared control, Cardless is built to disappear. Our APIs and components shape the journey from the first application to every purchase, reward, and moment of support that follows, while we handle lending, compliance, and operations behind the scenes.
In September 2025, we raised a $60 million Series C led by Spark Capital, bringing our total funding to $170 million. The team is over 70 people and scaling toward profitability by year-end 2026.
We're looking for kind, humble people with high standards and low egos. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We see what could be improved, make it so, and leave every product, system, and team better than we found it.
