Full Job Description
ABOUT COLUMN For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve. At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us! THE OPPORTUNITY We’re looking for a high performing business athlete to join our Customer Risk Strategy team! You don’t need to be an expert in banking or risk on day one - we are seeking a driven candidate ready to disrupt financial services and willing to utilize their highly strategic, operational, and product-oriented mindset to help Column deepen its relationships with its fintech partners. In this role you will manage our forward-thinking, strategic, and highly efficient risk programs (a critical differentiator for Column). This is a unique entry point into a high-growth fintech company, where you’ll command a level of influence that few other roles can offer. This role is for someone who thrives on taking ownership, blending strategic problem-solving with hands-on execution. Every project you lead will directly influence our ability to grow Column's business relationships so they remain strong and resilient.
