About Paystand

It’s about time we reboot commercial finance.

For the past century, business payments have struggled to keep up with digitization. While the enterprise has moved online, commercial finance remains burdened by costly fees, inefficient systems, fragmented workflows, and paper-driven processes.

Paystand was created to change that.

We are eliminating transaction fees, digitizing the cash cycle, and building a self-driving money experience for businesses. Our platform helps companies modernize how they collect, pay, reconcile, and move money across AR, AP, FX, Bitwage, mining, USDb, AI, and emerging global financial infrastructure.

Paystand is entering its next stage of growth. Our products, acquisitions, markets, customer base, and global footprint are expanding quickly. We need a senior marketing leader who can turn that complexity into one clear, powerful, revenue-connected story.

This role is built for a scrappy, resilient, high-agency operator who thrives in disruption, moves quickly through ambiguity, and is energized by helping redefine the future of commercial finance.
