Financial Institutions Partnerships Enterprise

At Plaid, our mission is to unlock financial freedom for everyone. There has never been a better time than now to start building the future of fintech with us. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo and SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid's network covers 11,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Salt Lake City, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.

The Financial Access organization expands and enriches connections between Plaid and financial institution partners to create a foundation for new and differentiated products that enable people to have healthier financial lives. This global team enables innovation for data partners by opening access to tools and technology that were previously reserved for technology upstarts.

The Financial Institutions Partnerships team, within the Financial Access organization, is looking for an experienced executive leader who will deepen the relationships necessary to advance data exchange strategies with the largest financial institutions in the United States. In this role, you will help define our strategy for transforming Plaid's position in the industry, cultivate and deepen relationships with key stakeholders, and execute on partnership expansion opportunities that drive meaningful impact for both Plaid and its partners (including financial institutions).

You will collaborate closely with many teams within Financial Access and the broader company, including but not limited to Global Policy, Product, Legal, Engineering and Communications. If driving the narrative for how consumer-permissioned data is good for businesses and people in the United States is interesting to you, let's chat!
