Imprint is building a platform that helps the world’s best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to predict what each customer will do next and act on it, so brands can offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.
Co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend, and most still run on legacy bank rails. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.
As Credit Strategy Manager, you will own the strategy and execution of new acquisition channels at Imprint, operating at the intersection of credit risk and marketing. This is a high-impact individual contributor role where you will define how Imprint acquires cardholders profitably across new and emerging channels, balancing growth targets with credit performance and risk appetite.
You will partner directly with credit policy, data science, finance, and marketing to set targeting criteria, evaluate channel economics, and ensure every acquisition path aligns with Imprint's credit strategy and operating plan. You will work closely with GMs, marketing and brand partners to tailor channel strategies to partner economics while maintaining portfolio quality.
This role requires equal fluency in credit fundamentals and acquisition mechanics. You should be as comfortable analyzing approval rates and vintage loss forecasts as you are standing up the risk framework for a new affiliate program or building an invitation-to-apply strategy.
What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days
- Successfully launched at least one new acquisition channel (e.g., affiliate, invitation-to-apply email, paid social, or direct mail) with clear targeting criteria informed by credit risk parameters and measurable performance data
- Built proof of concepts for affiliate partnerships tailored to specific brand partners, with acquisition economics modeled against credit performance expectations
- Established a pilot program for invitation-to-apply emails and direct mail with targeting criteria developed in partnership with data science and credit policy, including early reads on approval rates and portfolio quality signals
- Partnered with data science and risk to define and refine targeting models that improve acquisition quality and align with risk appetite at the channel level
- Translated channel performance into business cases that connect application volume to contribution profit, expected loss rates, LTV, CAC, and LTV-to-CAC ratios, gaining alignment from finance and leadership on channel viability
- Earned trust as a decisive, action-oriented partner who balances speed with credit rigor and delivers clarity to cross-functional stakeholders
Responsibilities
- Own the credit risk strategy, underwriting parameters, and ongoing optimization of new acquisition channels, including affiliates (Credit Karma, NerdWallet, Doctor Of Credit), invitation-to-apply emails, paid social, display, direct mail, and instant prescreens
- Define targeting strategies and risk criteria for each channel in partnership with credit policy, risk, data science, and marketing teams, ensuring acquisition quality meets portfolio standards
- Partner with data science and credit risk to influence targeting models, evaluate credit performance by channel, and refine acquisition criteria based on early portfolio signals
- Build business cases and ROI analyses that connect application volume to credit outcomes, including approval rates, expected losses, contribution profit, LTV, CAC, and LTV-to-CAC ratios
- Monitor channel-level credit performance post-launch, identifying early warning signals and adjusting targeting or risk parameters as needed
- Partner with finance to ensure acquisition strategies remain within LTV-to-CAC thresholds and align with Imprint's operating plan and loss budgets
- Collaborate with GMs and brand partners to design channel strategies that balance partner growth goals with credit quality expectations
- Pull and analyze data independently using SQL to build data cohorts, diagnose performance, evaluate credit quality by channel, and inform strategy
- Manage stakeholder alignment across risk, credit policy, marketing, finance, and data science to ensure clarity, speed, and accountability
- Establish a test-and-learn cadence for channel experimentation, with structured readouts on both acquisition metrics and credit performance
Qualifications
Required
- 5+ years of experience in credit strategy, acquisition strategy, or risk-adjacent marketing roles, preferably in card issuers, fintech or financial services
- Strong understanding of credit card economics, including approval rates, vintage loss rates, LTV, CAC, LTV-to-CAC ratios, and contribution profit modeling
- Proven experience working cross-functionally across risk, marketing, finance, and data science to drive acquisition outcomes
- Advanced proficiency in SQL to pull and analyze data independently
- Demonstrated ability to build business cases that connect acquisition performance to credit outcomes and portfolio economics
- Familiarity with targeting models and the ability to partner with data science on model design, segmentation, and performance evaluation
- High ownership and bias for action, with a track record of launching new initiatives from concept to execution
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate credit and financial details into clear narratives for leadership
- Test-and-learn mindset with comfort in ambiguity and iteration
Nice to Have
- Experience setting risk appetite or targeting criteria for acquisition channels at a card issuer or fintech
- Familiarity with regulatory frameworks governing credit marketing
- Familiarity with affiliate platforms, invitation-to-apply programs, instant prescreens, or direct mail targeting
- Experience working with brand partners or co-branded products
- Exposure to underwriting criteria, credit policy frameworks, or portfolio monitoring
Perks & Benefits
- Competitive compensation and equity packages
- Leading configured work computers of your choice
- Flexible paid time off
- Fully covered, high-quality healthcare, including fully covered dependent coverage
- Additional health coverage includes access to One Medical and the option to enroll in an FSA
- 20 weeks of paid parental leave for the primary caregiver and 8 weeks for all new parents
- Access to industry-leading technology across all of our business units, stemming from our philosophy that we should invest in resources for our team that foster innovation, optimization, and productivity

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Strategy Manager
Verify your degree field matches the role
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree directly relates to strategy work. A business, economics, or management degree is clean. An unrelated field needs a detailed specialty occupation argument, so prepare that case before applying.
Search LCA filings for proven sponsors
Use the OFLC Wage Search to find companies that have certified LCAs for Strategy Manager or similar SOC codes. Employers with repeated filings in this occupation are far more likely to sponsor than those with no track record.
Target cap-exempt employers strategically
Consulting firms embedded with nonprofits or universities may qualify as cap-exempt, letting you start any time of year without waiting for the October 1 start date. Confirm the employer's cap-exempt status before accepting an offer.
Get your offer letter before February
H-1B registration opens in March and requires an employer to submit your registration. A signed offer letter and completed I-129 preparation take weeks, so initiate sponsorship conversations no later than January for that fiscal year's cap.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified H-1B sponsors
Filter Strategy Manager roles on Migrate Mate by employers with active H-1B filing history. You'll surface companies already familiar with the LCA and petition process, which shortens the negotiation on sponsorship willingness.
Clarify prevailing wage tier during offer negotiation
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your location and SOC code, confirmed on the LCA. Check your wage tier in the OFLC Wage Search yourself so you negotiate from an accurate baseline, not a lowball Level I offer.
H-1B Visa Strategy Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Strategy Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as business administration, economics, finance, or management. Generic strategy titles at some companies get RFEs when the job duties don't clearly require that specific degree. Ask the employer for the job description USCIS will see, and confirm it ties duties directly to a specialized field of study.
How do I find Strategy Manager jobs at companies that actually sponsor H-1B visas?
Search Migrate Mate for Strategy Manager roles filtered by employers with documented H-1B filing history. Many companies list strategy openings but have never filed an LCA, so checking prior DOL filings through the OFLC Wage Search before applying saves you from sponsors who are unfamiliar or unwilling to handle the process.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Strategy Manager role at a different company?
Yes. Under portability rules, you can start working for a new H-1B employer as soon as the transfer petition is filed, not after approval, as long as your previous H-1B was approved and you've been in valid status. The new employer files a new I-129 and LCA specific to your new title and location. You don't re-enter the lottery.
What happens if my Strategy Manager role shifts to a different title or business unit during H-1B status?
A material change in job duties, location, or level of authority may require an amended H-1B petition. If your title changes from Strategy Manager to a director-level role with significantly different duties, your employer should file an amendment with USCIS before the change takes effect. Failing to amend when required creates a status violation, even if the underlying work is similar.
Do consulting firms or in-house corporate teams sponsor H-1B visas more often for Strategy Manager positions?
Both sponsor, but the dynamics differ. Large consulting firms often have dedicated immigration teams and established LCA filing infrastructure, making the process smoother. In-house corporate strategy teams may sponsor less frequently, and you'll need to educate HR on the process. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check each employer's actual filing history before reading into their stated sponsorship policies.
