BUSINESS OPERATIONS

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, SoFi, 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

As a founding member of Column's Business Operations team, you will be responsible for helping lay the foundation for the company's next decade of growth. This team will own Column's most important strategic and operational initiatives, with a heavy focus on designing new operating systems that will directly impact our ability to scale.

• Design and implement our most critical scaling initiatives, with a heavy focus on optimizing the speed with which we can onboard and support new customers
• Drive decisions around build vs. buy strategies for new tooling and systems we need to drive automation and scale - work closely with our engineering team to define design requirements for our build projects
• Support go-to-market strategy and commercialization (e.g., pricing, margin optimization) of current and future state products
• Partner with our Finance team to maintain a pulse on the financial health of our product lines - highlight key metrics we should be looking at, and call out relevant trends for us to get ahead on
