About Credit Coop

Credit Coop is transforming asset-backed finance with blockchain-powered infrastructure that converts business cash flows into programmable collateral. We're building the foundation for a new generation of credit markets that are transparent, programmable, and operate 24/7/365.

Our proprietary technology enables programmatic control over borrower receivables, delivering real-time settlement, automated loan servicing, and transparent credit monitoring that offers institutional lenders access to uncorrelated yield backed by verifiable cash flows.

We're pioneering PayFi (Payment Financing) as our initial market - serving card issuers, payment processors, and fintech companies that need working capital to bridge settlement timing gaps. With $115 million volume, zero defaults, and partnerships with institutional asset managers, we're positioned to capture the $25 trillion global payments market.

Your Role

We're seeking a strategic growth leader to drive our "concentric circles" expansion strategy - from cryptonative capital sources to institutional private credit funds. You'll be instrumental in scaling both sides of our two-sided marketplace: building relationships with liquidity providers who deploy capital through our infrastructure and sourcing payment companies that need balance sheet-light financing solutions.

This role is perfect for someone with institutional credit or payment industry experience who understands how asset-backed finance can be revolutionized through programmable infrastructure. This is a remote role with strong preference for NYC-based candidates to leverage direct access to the world's largest concentration of private credit funds and institutional asset managers. Exceptional candidates from other cities are also welcome to apply.

Key Responsibilities

(1) Institutional Capital & Partnerships (Primary Focus)

• Build and manage relationships with private credit funds, family offices, and institutional asset managers seeking exposure to digital assets
• Onboard sophisticated Vault Managers who can deploy $10M+ while bringing specialized underwriting expertise to our platform
• Position our programmatic recourse as superior alternatives to traditional bilateral lending structures through UCC Article 12 legal framework
• Leverage NYC's institutional investor ecosystem - private credit funds, hedge funds, family offices, and asset managers

(2) Borrower Growth & Onboarding

• Develop and execute strategies to source card issuers, payment processors, and remittance providers that need working capital financing.
• Educate prospects on Credit Coop’s Spigot-powered lending solutions, demonstrating capital efficiency and onchain enforcement benefits.
• Lead borrower onboarding, structuring deals and facilitating integrations with our platform.

(3) Go-to-Market Execution

• Define BD strategies and growth KPIs to scale both borrowers and lenders
• Represent Credit Coop at institutional investor events, payment industry conferences, and DeFi/RWA summits
• Collaborate with marketing teams to create compelling thought leadership content, case studies, and sales collateral.
• Identify strategic partnerships that unlock new borrower/lender pools.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in asset management, business development, or sales in institutional credit, private equity, or payment industry
• Deep understanding of structured credit, asset-backed finance, and payment company economics
• Strong NYC financial services network - private credit funds, family offices, institutional asset managers, or payment industry executives
• Experience with secured lending structures, asset perfection, and legal enforceability (UCC knowledge a plus)
• Proven track record of closing deals with institutional investors and Fintech companies.
• Experience working with DeFi, digital assets, or tokenized finance is a strong plus.
• High-energy, self-driven, and comfortable operating at a fast-paced startup.
