- Deep analytical mindset and comfort with operational metrics, forecasting, and cost management
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels

- Design and execute a scalable support model tailored to the needs of a fintech company with a credit product at its core

- Use journey mapping, customer feedback, and usage data to optimize every touchpoint
- Ensure consistent support quality across all internal teams, blending human interaction with AI where appropriate
- Monitor and optimize key KPIs: CSAT, NPS, resolution rate, response time, deflection, QA scores, and cost-to-serve
- Leverage dashboards, forecasting models, and operational analytics to manage workforce planning, quality assurance, and capacity
- Apply root cause analysis and feedback loops to continuously improve service delivery
- Build and scale a high-performance culture rooted in accountability, empathy, innovation, and customer centricity

Our take
These days, all sorts of cards abound, from virtual cards to co-branded credit cards. Imprint aims to stand out in the increasingly crowded space by partnering with businesses to provide branded rewards cards for customers.
While there has been an increase in the number of companies offering branded financial products to reduce costs, Imprint sees its card programs as offering a new platform for deepening customer relationships: less of the nastiness of credit and a much greater focus on rewards.
The startup is focusing on refining its embedded finance solution to fulfil its vision of an Apple-pay like experience for merchants and consumers.
Imprint will hope that its lightweight service, fit for smaller customers like hotel chains, will allow it to compete with the major venture-backed players in the space like Cardless, Apto and Alviere. Its $75 million in venture capital raised in 2023 will go some way towards achieving these aims.
