Role
Who you are
- 3-6 years of product marketing / design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating high-quality work across presentations, product design, and brand materials
- Meaningful experience working in or alongside commercial teams — design agency serving financial or tech clients, in-house at a startup, or a role with direct exposure to sales or business development
- Experience marketing and designing for financial services or fintech is a strong plus — you should be able to design a card product without needing to be taught what a credit card is
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently at high output, without a creative director managing every deliverable
- Figma: Expert-level fluency — you build components, maintain libraries, and prototype interactions, not just static screens. You are faster in Figma than most designers are in PowerPoint
- Presentation Design: You make decks that people actually want to look at. You know when to use a visual and when to use words, and you can make a complex argument feel simple without dumbing it down
- Photoshop and Image Editing: Comfortable handling photo editing, compositing, and asset production at a professional level. You do not need to be a photographer, but you know what to do with raw images
- AI Design Tools: Fluent in current AI tools for design acceleration — image generation, layout suggestions, copy assistance. You use them to go faster, not as a crutch
- Communication and Collaboration: You ask the right questions before starting, give and receive feedback clearly, and can explain design decisions in terms that non-designers find useful
- Speed and Judgment: You calibrate quality to urgency. You know when to ship a good-enough version and when to hold out for excellent — and you make that call without needing to be told
What the job involves
- As Product Marketing Manager, Brand Partnerships, you will own the visual layer of how Cardless presents itself to the outside world: partner pitch decks, product mockups, investor materials, and the design system that makes the card product feel polished and differentiated. You will work at the intersection of brand, product, and commercial — translating strategy into visuals that move deals forward
- You will work closely with the partnerships and business development teams. This role is production-heavy: you will ship a high volume of high-quality work on tight timelines
- Design and maintain a library of pitch decks used across partner conversations, RFP responses, and investor updates — balancing consistency with the flexibility to customize for specific audiences
- Translate complex product and business concepts into visual narratives that are clear, compelling, and on-brand for both Cardless and its partners
- Own end-to-end production of presentation materials: from initial brief to final polished deck, with the speed and independence to turn around work in hours, not days
- Collaborate with the partnerships team to understand what each partner cares about and reflect that in how materials are framed and designed
- Build decks and materials to present to clients (using PPT, Figma or other relevant tools)
- Build high-fidelity Figma mockups of card products, cardholder-facing interfaces, and partner-facing dashboards that help prospects visualize what they are buying
- Work closely with the product team to ensure mockups are grounded in what Cardless actually builds — not aspirational fiction that sets unrealistic expectations in the field
- Maintain a library of reusable decks, documents, design elements and materials that speed up production of new partner mockups without sacrificing quality
- Rapidly iterate on designs based on feedback from sales conversations, partner calls, and internal review
- Participate in product discussions with enough depth to translate product decisions into accurate, visually compelling representations
- Flag implications of product decisions early — before they become inconsistencies between what the sales team is showing and what engineering is building
- Contribute to the product roadmap by surfacing product constraints and opportunities the product team may not have considered
- Maintain and evolve the Cardless visual identity across all external-facing materials — pitch decks, one-pagers, event collateral, and social assets
- Ensure every asset that leaves the building reflects the level of craft that Cardless's brand positioning requires
- Use AI design tools to accelerate production without compromising quality — you should be fluent in what current tools can and cannot do
- Build repeatable processes and templates that make the team faster without requiring you to be the bottleneck on every piece of output
Our take
Cardless is a financial technology company attempting to modernise co-branded credit card programs. There are around 200 brands in the U.S. with traditional cards that haven't been modernised in over 20 years. These traditional cards, from the likes of Costco and Sam's, enable shoppers to collect reward points that they can use for things like travel.
Cardless’ co-founders are no strangers to the financial industry. Michael Spelfogel spent time at Visa, and Scott Kazmierowicz worked in banking for Goldman Sachs. Through their experiences, they spotted a gap in the market for simple, credit card loyalty programs that focus on customer experiences. For example, it helps popular consumer brands launch credit cards that can engage with their fans and reward them with bespoke benefits.
The global credit card market is valued at over $100 billion. It's certainly big enough for consumer brands to enter; however, with Cardless acting as a middleman, there's always a risk that it could get frozen out by the big banks. Nevertheless, it secured $60 million in Series C funding in 2025, which will be used to expand its products, partnerships and card programmes.
