About the role

Credit cards are a visual product - and for Cardless, product marketing is how the partnership pitch becomes real. Every brand that evaluates Cardless needs to see what their card program could look like before they commit. Every investor needs to understand the product without reading a technical spec. This role exists to build those assets. As Product Marketing Manager, Brand Partnerships, you will own the visual layer of how Cardless presents itself to the outside world: partner pitch decks, product mockups, investor materials, and the design system that makes the card product feel polished and differentiated. You will work at the intersection of brand, product, and commercial - translating strategy into visuals that move deals forward. You will work closely with the partnerships and business development teams. This role is production-heavy: you will ship a high volume of high-quality work on tight timelines.

Responsibilities

  • Build Partner and Investor Presentation Materials
  • Design and maintain a library of pitch decks used across partner conversations, RFP responses, and investor updates - balancing consistency with the flexibility to customize for specific audiences.
  • Translate complex product and business concepts into visual narratives that are clear, compelling, and on-brand for both Cardless and its partners.
  • Own end-to-end production of presentation materials: from initial brief to final polished deck, with the speed and independence to turn around work in hours, not days.
  • Collaborate with the partnerships team to understand what each partner cares about and reflect that in how materials are framed and designed.
  • Design Product Mockups and Prototypes
  • Build decks and materials to present to clients (using PPT, Figma or other relevant tools).
  • Build high-fidelity Figma mockups of card products, cardholder-facing interfaces, and partner-facing dashboards that help prospects visualize what they are buying.
  • Work closely with the product team to ensure mockups are grounded in what Cardless actually builds - not aspirational fiction that sets unrealistic expectations in the field.
  • Maintain a library of reusable decks, documents, design elements and materials that speed up production of new partner mockups without sacrificing quality.
  • Rapidly iterate on designs based on feedback from sales conversations, partner calls, and internal review.
  • Think Through Product Construction
  • Participate in product discussions with enough depth to translate product decisions into accurate, visually compelling representations.
  • Flag implications of product decisions early - before they become inconsistencies between what the sales team is showing and what engineering is building.
  • Contribute to the product roadmap by surfacing product constraints and opportunities the product team may not have considered.
  • Own the Cardless Visual Brand
  • Maintain and evolve the Cardless visual identity across all external-facing materials - pitch decks, one-pagers, event collateral, and social assets.
  • Ensure every asset that leaves the building reflects the level of craft that Cardless's brand positioning requires.
  • Use AI design tools to accelerate production without compromising quality - you should be fluent in what current tools can and cannot do.
  • Build repeatable processes and templates that make the team faster without requiring you to be the bottleneck on every piece of output.

Requirements

  • 3-6 years of product marketing / design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating high-quality work across presentations, product design, and brand materials.
  • Meaningful experience working in or alongside commercial teams - design agency serving financial or tech clients, in-house at a startup, or a role with direct exposure to sales or business development.
  • Experience marketing and designing for financial services or fintech is a strong plus - you should be able to design a card product without needing to be taught what a credit card is.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently at high output, without a c
