About Column For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. 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. At 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!

The Opportunity As a member of the GTM team at Column, your mandate is to build relationships with and sell into strategic accounts. You’ll collaborate with leadership and Column''s Business team to identify and close opportunities with companies that would benefit from building financial products with Column’s APIs - demonstrating Column’s value proposition and differentiation every step of the way. Success in this role looks like positioning yourself as a trusted advisor to current and future customers, building long-term relationships with prospects, and ultimately structuring and winning deals with our most important accounts.

This role reports to the Head of Sales & Partnerships and is in our San Francisco HQ or eligible for remote, with travel to clients and prospects expected.
