This role is responsible for successfully deploying and implementing Nova Credit's products with strategic accounts onboarding to our flagship Credit Passport® product and our new Cash Atlas underwriting solution. You'll contribute to growing our revenue globally, multiplying our impact to serve more global citizens, and fulfilling our mission.
You will understand, in detail, both Nova Credit's product technology and our most prominent clients' needs to help deliver a solution that exceeds expectations, informed by lessons learned from our deployments with customers like Amex, Verizon, and HSBC. Externally, you'll work with teams across our strategic accounts to successfully deploy our products into their systems. Beyond technology teams, this may include marketing, credit risk policy, and other critical stakeholders. Internally, you'll work across similar teams to help our clients implement scope as intended, on time, and with line of sight into immediate opportunities to grow recurring revenue. The ideal candidate is excited to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, highly visible role.
This full-time position is based on the East Coast (US) and reports to the Senior Director of Customer Success.
