Program Launch Manager

we are looking for

- 2-6 years in roles where you shipped complex cross-functional work: launch or program management, operations, consulting, banking, or early-stage startup operating roles.

- You have run at least one project where five or more parties had to deliver on the same date, and you were the person accountable for the whole thing.

- Enough fintech, payments, or financial services exposure to know the terminology and what's what. You don't need to be an expert in underwriting or compliance or card fulfillment on day one - but you do need the curiosity to become one.

- Detail oriented to an extreme: You read everything, and you notice when something doesn't add up - a date that quietly moved, a number that doesn't match the tracker, a requirement nobody actually closed out.

- Comfortable across functions: You can follow an engineering conversation about an integration cutover and a compliance conversation about disclosures, and explain each side to the other. You won't be the expert in most of these rooms, but you can never be lost in them.

- Calm when things break: Something always breaks close to launch. You re-plan, tell everyone what changed, and keep the room steady.

Cardless is at an inflection point: the company has found product-market fit, raised the capital to scale, and is now executing against a clear roadmap to profitability. The work is consequential and the pace is fast. Launches are the moments the whole company organizes around, and this role sits at the center of every one.

And nobody runs launches forever. After a few of them you will understand how this entire business works better than almost anyone, and success looks like graduating into another part of the company - maybe a functional area you connected with along the way, maybe full oversight of one of our brand programs. People who have sat in this seat have gone on to senior operating and product roles here, and we expect the same for you.

This role has an annual starting salary range of $145,000-$180,000 + equity + benefits. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skills, experience, and specific work location.

💸 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

We're headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with a beautiful office in Jackson Square. This role is in-office 5 days a week.
