Marketing Manager, Go-To-Market

WHO WE ARE

Imprint is building a platform that helps the world’s best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com http://Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to predict what each customer will do next and act on it, so brands can offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.

Co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend, and most still run on legacy bank rails. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

Marketing Manager, Go-To-Market

The Role

As Marketing Manager, Go-To-Market, you will own launch strategy, execution, and partner marketing for every new partner launch and conversion at Imprint.

This is a high impact individual contributor role reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, sitting at the intersection of brand, growth, and partnerships. You will act as the marketing lead for partner relationships: translating partnership goals into compelling co-marketing programs, driving acquisition and engagement through partner channels, and ensuring Imprint shows up with consistency and impact across every partner touchpoint.
