Track record of driving consumer growth, retention, and lifetime value in a scaled DTC or B2C financial product.

Direct experience with direct deposit, activation, or lifecycle/incentive programs in a banking or fintech context.

Demonstrated ability to build a team and operating model from a standing start, not just run an established org.

Experience partnering with Marketing, Product, Finance, Risk, and Operations to deliver against aggressive revenue targets.

Leadership Capabilities

Entrepreneurial, P&L-minded operator who sets vision and strategy across functions, not just within one.

Exceptional cross-functional influence, with the presence to align Marketing, Product, Risk, and Operations around a shared plan.
