Company mission
Plaid's mission is to unlock financial freedom for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is customer centric, goal-oriented, a collaborative team player, and excited to work in a fast-paced environment
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
- Interest in financial services and technical products, a desire to get more technical and the ability to learn the ins and outs of Plaid's APIs
- Strong problem-solving abilities and a customer-centric mindset
- A positive attitude, resilience, and a passion for continuous learning
- Excellent time-management skills, can prioritize tasks appropriately, and work to streamline processes
What the job involves
- Our sales team at Plaid combines deep product and industry knowledge and is focused on bringing Plaid to an ever-broadening set of businesses. Our thesis is that every company in financial services can benefit from better financial technology, and that many industries that don't currently consider themselves to be FinTech actually are
- You'll be the one helping us achieve this vision. As a New Business Associate, you'll manage inbound leads and be the first point of contact for most new companies we work with. You'll handle the entire opportunity qualification cycle and work closely with marketing, sales, and business operations to drive successful progress towards our revenue acquisition goals
- Manage inbound leads and own outreach to new companies, serving as the primary point of contact for new customers
- Help new developers get started with Plaid and answer questions about our products
- Identify the most promising developers and verticals to help us grow
- Work with our product and engineering teams to integrate customer and product feedback
- Collaborate closely with growth marketing to provide feedback and strategize on new content campaigns
Our take
Plaid builds infrastructure that allows a consumer to interact with their bank account on the web through a number of third-party applications, like Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase, Acorns and LendingClub.
Plaid has integrated with 12,000 financial institutions in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. About a quarter of people living in North America with bank accounts have linked with Plaid through at least one of the hundreds of apps that leverage Plaid’s application program interfaces (APIs). The platform allows companies to create financial services applications without having to hire their own team of engineers to build out a tool that connects apps to its users’ bank accounts.
This is very valuable in a world where there are increasing number of fintechs, so the demand for Plaid's services are only going to grow. Despite its strong position, it has not been immune to the difficult global economic situtation and was forced to restructure at the end of 2022, laying off some of its workforce. However it is still experiencing growth and is well-positioned to weather the current economic uncertainty.
