Finance · Full-time · CA, United States of America
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, SoFi, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
Column is seeking an experienced credit professional to join as the second employee on the next major business line we’re investing in. This role will build a high-quality credit portfolio without all of the red tape and manual processes of legacy financial institutions. This is a unique opportunity to be mentored directly by an excellent fintech credit executive who’s been in fintech credit since the beginning, and a founder who helped build the fintech industry. Instead of updating slide decks and models on a traditional finance team, this is a chance to have a large scope that spans investments, partner programs, loan acquisitions, process improvement, and critical business-moving decisions.
This role will work alongside our high-caliber team, coming from the world’s largest banks and fintechs, in our beautiful Presidio-based San Francisco office and will have a meaningful impact on shaping Column’s lending business and strategy.
Column is committed to working with the best and brightest people from the broadest talent pool possible. We value bringing together a team with different perspectives, educational backgrounds, and life experiences, and believe a diversity of ideas is what allows us to develop the best solutions. All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply.
