Account Manager

This role is on-site Monday-Friday 8:30am-5pm and is not eligible for remote work.

• You have experience in account management, inside sales, or a financial services role — and you know how to own a book of business
• You’re a natural relationship-builder who earns trust with small business owners quickly and keeps it
• You’re comfortable with numbers — you can read a deal, spot a renewal opportunity, and have a confident conversation about merchant cash flow
• You’re proactive and self-directed — you don’t wait for merchants to come to you, you stay one step ahead of your portfolio
• You thrive in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment and take pride in hitting — and exceeding — your targets
• You’re organized enough to manage a large, active portfolio without things slipping through the cracks

• Manage a portfolio of active MCA, term loan, and LOC accounts from post-funding through payoff
• Monitor repayment progress and identify optimal renewal windows based on balance and performance
• Proactively contact merchants nearing payoff to initiate the renewal conversation
• Work with underwriting to structure renewal offers (amount, factor rate, term) that fit merchant cash flow
• Handle early payoff requests, stacking inquiries, and any mid-term modifications
• Track renewal pipeline and report on conversion rate, average renewal size, and portfolio health
• Build long-term relationships that drive referrals and multi-cycle retention

• 1+ years of experience in account management, B2B sales, or financial services — MCA or alternative lending experience is a strong plus
• A proven track record of hitting and exceeding targets in a quota-driven environment
• CRM proficiency — you keep your pipeline clean, your notes current, and your follow-ups on time
• Strong phone presence and communication skills — you build rapport quickly and can navigate tough conversations with confidence
• Familiarity with MCA structures, term loans, and lines of credit — or the fast-learner mindset to get there quickly
• A consultative approach — you listen first, then offer solutions that actually fit the merchant’s situation

Backd Capital is the business lending division of Backd, a fintech company founded in 2019 with a bold mission: give small and medium-sized businesses the capital and support they deserve. We're talking about the businesses behind roughly 95% of the US job market, and we're in their corner. We're hitting our stride, growing fast, and looking for ambitious, hungry people ready to be part of something special.

Speed, flexibility, and a genuine belief that small businesses deserve better options. While traditional lenders often come with long timelines, fixed repayment structures, and collateral requirements, Backd Capital offers a different path. Through Working Capital Advances, Business Term Loans, and Business Lines of Credit, we give business owners fast access to capital that's customized to their needs, on their timeline, without giving up a single point of equity.

We're not just another lender. We're the partner small businesses have always needed.

With around 50 people and serious momentum, Backd Capital is the kind of place where careers are built, not just managed. You won't get lost in bureaucracy here. You'll own real work, solve real problems, and see the direct impact of what you do. We're early enough that your fingerprints will be all over what we build, and resourced enough to do it right.
