At Plaid, our mission is to empower innovators by delivering access to the financial system. Since 2012 we've helped tens of millions of consumers live a better financial life and over a thousand customers build a new financial future. Our customers range from startups like Stripe, Coinbase and Square to Fortune 500 enterprises like American Express and PayPal. Founded in 2012, Plaid has raised $300M of capital from major venture capital firms such as Kleiner Perkins, Andreessen Horowitz, Index, Spark and NEA, as well as global financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Citi. But we’re just getting started.

The newly-formed 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 Access organization is looking for a leader for our Open Finance Platform. This person will build the team that will influence, implement and distribute our API platform offering that will define the future of Plaid’s data exchange. As a member of the Financial Access leadership team, you will play a key role in shaping Plaid’s strategy and position in the industry, identify and implement features that expedite the digital roadmaps of critical partners, and help shape Plaid’s open finance strategy.

 In this position, you will collaborate most closely with the leaders of Plaid’s Product, Engineering and Design teams to articulate the future of data exchange at Plaid. If defining the future of open finance is interesting to you, let’s chat!
