We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, 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.\nAt 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!\nThe opportunity\nColumn's Growth team is focused on managing our highly strategic customer relationships. As a member of the Growth team, you’ll be responsible for building and overseeing all aspects of our customer management while acting as a trusted partner, advisor and advocate for a wide variety of customers. You will also be in charge of designing and implementing the strategy, processes, and content needed to help us scale this key function.\nThis role has a unique international focus, helping build one of Column's most strategic expansion initiatives from the ground up. At least have of your work will be dedicated to building and managing partnerships with banks across the CIS and Eastern Europe. The rest of your time will go to working with Column's core fintech partners.\nColumn's Growth team is not your typical Customer Success or Account Management team in that Column is a critical, often existential, partner for our customers, our customer relationships are deeply collaborative and complex, and each customer contributes meaningfully to our revenue. We're therefore looking for team members who are analytical, demonstrate great critical thinking, and have experience managing very strategic relationships.\nThis role is highly cross-functional and collaborative, partnering closely with Column’s Executive, Solutions Engineering, Sales, Compliance, and Correspondent Banking teams to ensure customers are onboarded smoothly, that we can anticipate and address both issues and opportunities for growth, and that these relationships are healthy and mutually beneficial. You’ll also represent the voice of the customer to help inform Column's strategy, including the product roadmap, go-to-market motions and more.\nSuccess in this role also means having a desire to become an expert on the Financial Technology space and on how companies partner with Column (our customers include many key industry players such as Brex and Carta).\nThis role reports to the Head of Growth and is an in-person role, where you’ll be expected to work out of our San Francisco Presidio-based office 3+ days a week.\nWhat you’ll do\nHelp establish our customer-facing strategy, processes, playbooks, systems and best practices. Identify patterns and build repeatability at every step\n\nManage all aspects of a customer’s relationship with Column, from onboarding and implementation to ongoing management and expansion of the account\n\nOnboard and manage our emerging markets bank partners: Serve as the day-to-day lead for banks across the CIS and Eastern Europe. Guide them through onboarding and own the ongoing relationship once they’re live.\n\nBuild and nurture relationships across various functions within a customer's organization, identifying and creating advocates wherever you go, and helping find new use cases for partnering with Column\n\nProactively identify challenges and opportunities for growth, and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to find solutions in order to move the relationship forward\n\nShare key findings and recommendations on market feedback and trends to inform Column’s growth strategy and product roadmap\n\nPerform day-to-day activities consistent with safe and sound business practices and regulatory requirements\n\nThis role includes periodic travel to the CIS region and Eastern Europe to meet with our bank partners in person.\n\nWhat you’ll need to be successful\n5+ years of relevant work experience -- strong preference for a mix of Consulting, Private Equity, Investment Banking, VC or an equivalent role plus operating experience in an early stage company and/or selling a new line of business\n\nProfessional fluency in Russian\n\nA desire to become very knowledgeable on the financial technology and payments space. Prior experience in financial services can be helpful but certainly not required.\n\nA growth and critical thinking mindset: You’re comfortable navigating ambiguous environments and are energized by the prospect of helping build processes with little guidance\n\nExcellent project management: You’re organized, can manage all aspects of partnering with customers, and effectively work with other internal teams.\n\nAbility to turn naysayers into champions: You’re a persuasive communicator and understand the importance of being helpful, responsive, and solutions-oriented.\n\nCuriosity: You know what questions to ask to uncover and understand customer needs and proactively learn more about the industry, competitive landscape, and product offerings to better support your customers\n\nInsatiable hunger for improvement: you’re a naturally curious person, enjoy digging into the data, and regularly solicit feedback\n\nWhat you’ll get from us\nComprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you and 100% covered for your dependents!\n\nComprehensive family planning and fertility benefits via partnership with Carrot, including reimbursement of up to $20,000 in qualified expenses\n\nUp to $2,000 (post-tax) monthly rent subsidy for employees living within 2 miles of Column’s office\n\nFSA and HSA account options to enable use of pre-tax money for medical and dependent care expenses\n\n401k plan, including self-directed brokerage options\n\nFlexible time-off policy - take the time off that you want and need to relax and recharge\n\nSabbatical Program - Reach your 5-year anniversary to take up to 8 weeks of fully paid leave to rest, recharge, and pursue personal interest - with full salary and benefits\n\n100% paid parental leave, including 16 weeks for birth mothers, 12 weeks for primary caregivers, and 8 weeks for secondary caregivers\n\nUp to $4,500 in annual reimbursements for backup childcare\n\nCatered lunches and dinners for SF employees\n\nCommuter benefits, including paid transportation to-and-from the office\n\nRegular team building events, including annual offsite\n\nPay transparency\nCompensation packages at Column include base salary, equity, and benefits.
