The Petal Mission

Petal’s mission is to expand access to opportunity, by making responsible, modern financial services available to everyone. Founded in 2016, Petal provides technology-enabled credit cards to consumers who are historically underserved by mainstream providers.

Petal pioneered automated cash flow underwriting, a transformative new approach to assessing consumer creditworthiness with the potential to expand access to tens of millions of U.S. consumers without credit history, or for whom traditional credit scores do not tell the whole story. We’re looking for people with kindness, positivity, and integrity to join our team. At Petal, we welcome diverse perspectives from people who think rigorously and aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions.

The VP, Capital Markets role

Petal is looking for a VP of Capital Markets to lead our Capital Markets function to handle the tremendous growth in both our cardmembers and receivables. Capital Markets is responsible for developing and implementing the strategy for funding our loans - as well providing key inputs to Petal’s broader product development and strategy. The VP will play a key role in developing and executing Petal’s Capital Markets strategy.

The ideal candidate possesses strong technical skills, is an excellent written and verbal communicator, has prior capital markets and/or structured finance experience, has a sharp eye for details, and is always excited to learn. This role will report into Petal’s Chief Financial Officer.
