A Program Launch role involves overseeing the planning, coordination, and execution of new programs or products within an organization. Professionals in this position work cross-functionally to ensure all aspects of a launch—such as timelines, resources, and stakeholder communication—are managed effectively.

Program launch roles often encounter challenges such as coordinating cross-functional teams, managing tight timelines, and adapting to shifting project scopes. Clear communication, proactive risk assessment, and regular progress check-ins are essential for overcoming these hurdles.

Emphasizing flexibility and problem-solving helps ensure a smooth and successful launch.

To thrive as a Program Launch Manager, you need strong project management skills, cross-functional coordination abilities, and typically a background in business, engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with project management tools like MS Project, Jira, or Asana, as well as experience with product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, is common. Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills help you drive alignment and handle challenges during launches. These skills are essential to ensure that new programs meet quality, timeline, and budget targets while aligning with organizational objectives.

Job description

About Cardless
Cardless is building the infrastructure for the world's best companies to design, build, and launch financial products of their own. Companies like Coinbase and Bilt use Cardless to create credit cards that feel entirely their own. In an industry where branded financial products usually mean shared logos and shared control, Cardless is built to disappear. Our APIs and components shape the journey from the first application to every purchase, reward, and moment of support that follows, while we handle lending, compliance, and operations behind the scenes.
In September 2025, we raised a $60 million Series C led by Spark Capital, bringing our total funding to $170 million. The team is over 70 people and scaling toward profitability by year-end 2026.
We're looking for kind, humble people with high standards and low egos. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We see what could be improved, make it so, and leave every product, system, and team better than we found it.
About the role
We're looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager to own the day-to-day relationship between Cardless and our issuing bank partners, and to help drive new co-brand card programs from signed deal to live launch.
This role sits at the center of Cardless's most consequential relationships - our bank partners, who ultimately issue every card program we build. You'll manage their expectations, keep them aligned as new programs move through development, and act as the connective tissue between Cardless's internal teams (compliance, product, engineering, operations) and our partners' teams on the other side of the table. You'll also help launch new programs, working cross-functionally to make sure bank partners are informed, comfortable, and bought in at every stage - from kickoff through go-live.
This is a strong fit for someone who's comfortable operating in a regulated, high-stakes environment, who can translate between technical/compliance detail and partner-facing narrative, and who wants ownership over how Cardless shows up to the banks that make our business possible.
What you'll do
  • Own ongoing relationship management with bank partners (e.g., First Electronic Bank, Column N.A.), serving as a primary point of contact for program status, open issues, and escalations
  • Manage bank partner expectations across active programs - proactively communicating risk, delays, and open items rather than letting them surface as surprises
  • Lead or support new program launches end-to-end: kickoff coordination, drafting partner-facing materials, tracking legal/compliance milestones, and driving alignment on launch timelines
  • Partner closely with Compliance, Legal, Product, and Engineering to translate internal workstreams into clear, partner-ready updates
  • Build and maintain trackers, status reports, and governance cadences (e.g., regular partner check-ins, steering committees) to keep programs on track
  • Represent Cardless in partner meetings, including with senior stakeholders at bank partners, and help prepare internal teams for those conversations
  • Identify and help resolve friction points between Cardless and partners on rewards, payments, disputes, and other program mechanics before they become escalations
  • Support due diligence and onboarding for new bank and brand partners as Cardless's portfolio grows

What we're looking for
  • 10+ years of experience in partnerships, account management, program management, or a related client-facing role - ideally in fintech, banking, or another regulated industry
  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder relationships where technical, legal, and business considerations all need to be balanced
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills - comfortable distilling complicated, cross-functional work into clear updates for partner audiences
  • A bias toward proactive communication; you'd rather over-communicate a risk early than let a partner be surprised later
  • Experience working cross-functionally with compliance, legal, product, and engineering teams
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and building process where none exists yet
  • Based in or willing to work on-site in San Francisco
Bonus points
  • Experience with card issuing, co-brand credit card programs, or working directly with issuing banks
  • Familiarity with the regulatory considerations that shape bank/fintech partnerships (e.g., third-party risk management, program governance)
  • Experience launching a new product or program from contract signing through go-live

Compensation
This role has an annual starting salary range of $150,000-$200,000 + equity + benefits. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skills, experience, and specific work location.
Benefits
We're proud to offer our team excellent benefits:
Meaningful Start-up equity
100% health, vision & dental primary coverage
+ 75% health, vision & dental dependent coverage
Catered lunches
$250/month Commuter benefit
Parental leave
Team building events & happy hours
Flexible PTO with a minimum of 15 days off per year
Apple equipment
401k plan
Location
We're headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with a beautiful office in Jackson Square. This role is in-office 5 days a week.
