  • Partner with cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, Settlement, Compliance, Support) to track and close open action items.
  • Contribute to internal projects that improve how the team operates and serves customers at scale.

Who You Are

We're hiring for potential, curiosity, and work ethic as much as prior experience. Here's what will set you up for success:
  • 1 - 3 years of experience in account management, customer success, operations, business development, or a related field. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
  • Exceptional organization and follow-through. You keep track of everything in flight and nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills: You write clearly, respond promptly, and represent Marqeta professionally in every interaction.
  • Analytical mindset: You're comfortable working in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, IF/SUMIF formulas) and enjoy using data to tell a story.
  • Process-oriented: You spot inefficiencies, document what you learn, and look for ways to make things better.
  • Self-starter: You're proactive, take ownership of your work, and don't wait to be told what to do next.
  • Team player: You collaborate well, build relationships across teams, and make the people around you better.
  • Fintech curiosity: You're genuinely interested in payments, financial services, or technology, and you want to develop deep expertise in the space.
  • Experience with Salesforce or similar CRM tools is a plus, but not required.

Nice-To-Haves
  • Experience in card issuing/acquiring, payments processing, or embedded payments
