Compensation Overview

Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many million commercial drivers.

• Work with hiring managers and the talent acquisition team to refine Coast’s employee compensation strategy.
• Help ensure that the Coast NYC and Utah offices are enjoyable places to work every day.
• Provide support in planning and operationalizing Coast team events.
