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.
The company has scaled from $10 million to $150 million in run rate revenue in the past 12 months. 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.
About the Role
We're looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager to own the day-to-day relationship between Cardless and our issuing bank partners, and to help drive new co-brand card programs from signed deal to live launch.
This role sits at the center of Cardless's most consequential relationships — our bank partners, who ultimately issue every card program we build. You'll manage their expectations, keep them aligned as new programs move through development, and act as the connective tissue between Cardless's internal teams (compliance, product, engineering, operations) and our partners' teams on the other side of the table. You'll also help launch new programs, working cross-functionally to make sure bank partners are informed, comfortable, and bought in at every stage — from kickoff through go-live.
This is a strong fit for someone who's comfortable operating in a regulated, high-stakes environment, who can translate between technical/compliance detail and partner-facing narrative, and who wants ownership over how Cardless shows up to the banks that make our business possible.
- Own ongoing relationship management with bank partners (e.g., First Electronic Bank, Column N.A.), serving as a primary point of contact for program status, open issues, and escalations
- Manage bank partner expectations across active programs — proactively communicating risk, delays, and open items rather than letting them surface as surprises
- Lead or support new program launches end-to-end: kickoff coordination, drafting partner-facing materials, tracking legal/compliance milestones, and driving alignment on launch timelines
- Partner closely with Compliance, Legal, Product, and Engineering to translate internal workstreams into clear, partner-ready updates
- Build and maintain trackers, status reports, and governance cadences (e.g., regular partner check-ins, steering committees) to keep programs on track
- Represent Cardless in partner meetings, including with senior stakeholders at bank partners, and help prepare internal teams for those conversations
- Identify and help resolve friction points between Cardless and partners on rewards, payments, disputes, and other program mechanics before they become escalations
- Support due diligence and onboarding for new bank and brand partners as Cardless's portfolio grows
What we're looking for
- 10+ years of experience in partnerships, account management, program management, or a related client-facing role — ideally in fintech, banking, or another regulated industry
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder relationships where technical, legal, and business considerations all need to be balanced
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — comfortable distilling complicated, cross-functional work into clear updates for partner audiences
- A bias toward proactive communication; you'd rather over-communicate a risk early than let a partner be surprised later
- Experience working cross-functionally with compliance, legal, product, and engineering teams
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and building process where none exists yet
- Based in or willing to work on-site in San Francisco
Bonus Points
- Experience with card issuing, co-brand credit card programs, or working directly with issuing banks
- Familiarity with the regulatory considerations that shape bank/fintech partnerships (e.g., third-party risk management, program governance)
- Experience launching a new product or program from contract signing through go-live
Compensation
This role has an annual starting salary range of $150,000–$200,000 + equity + benefits. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skills, experience, and specific work location.
Benefits
We're proud to offer our team excellent benefits:
- Meaningful Start-up equity
- 100% health, vision & dental primary coverage
- 75% health, vision & dental dependent coverage
- Catered lunches
- $250/month Commuter benefit
- Parental leave
- Team building events & happy hours
- Flexible PTO with a minimum of 15 days off per year
- Apple equipment
- 401k plan
Location
We're headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with a beautiful office in Jackson Square. This role is in-office 5 days a week.

Target roles that align with H-1B specialty occupation standards
Cardless sponsors H-1B visas for specialized roles, typically in engineering and product. Focus your application on positions requiring a degree in a specific technical field, generalist or operations roles are less likely to qualify for sponsorship consideration.
Understand the fintech hiring cycle
Banking and financial services companies like Cardless often hire on a rolling basis tied to product roadmaps. Applying early in the year improves your odds of being considered before H-1B cap-subject filing windows close in March and April.
Highlight credit card or payments domain experience
Cardless builds co-branded credit card products, so candidates with direct experience in payments infrastructure, credit risk, or card issuing stand out. Domain fluency signals you can contribute quickly without a long onboarding ramp.
Ask about Green Card sponsorship during the offer stage
Cardless has sponsored employment-based Green Cards, which signals a willingness to invest in long-term retention of international talent. Raise PERM or EB sponsorship expectations during offer negotiation, not after you've already started.
Use F-1 OPT as a foot in the door
Cardless has sponsored F-1 OPT, making it a realistic option for recent graduates. Starting on OPT gives you time to demonstrate value before the company needs to commit to H-1B sponsorship through the cap lottery.
Find verified sponsorship opportunities through Migrate Mate
When targeting fintech companies with real sponsorship histories, use a platform built for that purpose. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by actual sponsorship history rather than relying on job postings that don't mention visa support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cardless sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Cardless sponsors H-1B visas. The company has filed H-1B petitions for roles in the banking and financial services sector, primarily for specialized technical positions. Sponsorship is not guaranteed for every role, so it's worth confirming directly during the interview process that the specific position is eligible for H-1B support.
Which visa types does Cardless sponsor?
Cardless has sponsored H-1B visas, employment-based Green Cards (EB-2 and EB-3), and F-1 OPT work authorization. This range suggests the company supports international talent at multiple stages, from recent graduates entering on OPT through to longer-term permanent residency pathways for retained employees.
Which roles at Cardless are most likely to receive visa sponsorship?
Sponsorship at Cardless tends to follow technical and specialized roles, consistent with H-1B specialty occupation requirements. Software engineering, product management, and data-focused positions in the fintech space are the most likely candidates. Roles in operations or general administration are less commonly sponsored. Reviewing active job postings for sponsorship language is a reliable first filter.
How do I time my application to Cardless around H-1B deadlines?
H-1B cap-subject registrations open in March each year, with a lottery in late March and petition filing from April 1. To be considered for that cycle, you need to be deep in the hiring process by January or February at the latest. Cardless, like most fintech employers, needs time to prepare the petition before the filing window opens.
How do I find open visa-sponsored roles at Cardless?
The most reliable approach is to use a job platform that already filters by verified sponsorship history. Migrate Mate lists roles from companies with real H-1B and Green Card filing records, so you can find Cardless openings alongside other fintech sponsors without manually cross-referencing government disclosure data. Filter by visa type to narrow results to positions that match your situation.
