Program Operations Associate

Who We Are

Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com , H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.

In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

As Program Operations Associate , you will own the launch and ongoing operation of Imprint’s partner card programs. You’ll sit on the Solutions & Delivery team and work directly with brand partners and cross-functionally with Growth, Product, Engineering, Risk, Legal, Compliance, Customer Success, and Marketing to get each program launched on time and running well.

This is an execution role first. You’ll manage every workstream from kickoff through GA launch, keep each launch on track, and build the systems that make every launch more repeatable than the last.

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days

You are fully embedded in a live partner launch and can give a clear status on every workstream at any time: what’s complete, what’s at risk, who owns what, and what comes next

Cross-functional partners come to you as the source of truth for launch status and next steps

You drive open items to completion yourself wherever possible, working independently across teams

You surface risks and dependencies ahead of readiness reviews, so go/no-go decisions have no surprises

Responsibilities

Own execution for assigned partner program launches, managing every cross-functional workstream from kickoff through launch day

Take on the full range of work each launch requires, such as:

Working with Compliance on bank partner reviews

Tracking launch workstream status with Growth

Gathering requirements with Solutions Engineering

Updating product configurations

Supporting legal documentation and drafting

Identify operational gaps that slow launches or adoption, then build lightweight systems and standard playbooks to close them

Translate product capabilities into clear partner-facing materials and SOPs where launches need them

Track launch milestones, partner feedback, and internal execution signals, and recommend improvements

Partner with Growth, Product, Engineering, Risk, Legal, Compliance, Bank Partnerships, Member Operations, and Marketing to launch and operate partner programs
