Events and Brand Experiences Lead

As our Events and Brand Experiences Lead, you'll own every important moment Column creates: the dinners that turn prospects into partners, the offsites that shape our culture, the conference presence that signals who we are, and the customer gatherings that make people feel proud to be building with us. You'll work directly with our CEO, our Go-to-Market team, and our Workplace Experience team to make all of it exceptional. This is a high-ownership role with real budget, direct executive access, and no bureaucracy between you and the work.  If you're someone with operational excellence who has managed large budgets, sweated every detail, and knows that a well-executed event is a foundational relationship-building tool, this is a rare opportunity to build a function from the ground up at a company that values excellent experiences.

This role is based in our San Francisco HQ, reports into our Head of People, and is expected to be in-person 2-3 days/week. Regular travel to conferences and events (domestic and international) should be expected.

Strategic Partnerships Lead

We're hiring a strategic deals person to own high-value relationship development and deal execution across Column's most important partnerships. You'll drive the full commercial cycle — from identifying and qualifying strategic accounts to structuring and closing agreements with companies building financial products on Column's API infrastructure. Working closely with leadership and the broader Business team, you'll develop a deep understanding of each prospect's product roadmap and articulate Column's value proposition and differentiation at every stage of the deal.

Growth

As a member of the Growth team, you’ll be responsible for building and overseeing all aspects of our customer management while acting as a trusted partner, advisor and advocate for a wide variety of customers. You will also be in charge of designing and implementing the strategy, processes, and content needed to help us scale this key function. Column's Growth team is not your typical Customer Success or Account Management team in that Column is a critical, often existential, partner for our customers, our customer relationships are deeply collaborative and complex, and each customer contributes meaningfully to our revenue. This role is highly cross-functional and collaborative, partnering closely with Column’s Executive, Solutions Engineering, Sales, Compliance, and Product teams to ensure a top-notch customer experience. You’ll also represent the voice of the customer to help inform Column's strategy, including the product roadmap, go-to-market motions and more. Success in this role also means becoming an expert on the Financial Technology space and on how companies partner with Column (our customers include many key industry players such as Brex and Carta).

This role reports to the Head of Growth and is an in-person role, where you’ll be expected to work out of our San Francisco Presidio-based office 3+ days a week.

Risk Operations

Many banks treat Risk as a cost center - Column treats it as a competitive advantage. Our ability to take on new customers, expand into new product areas, and successfully operate under regulatory scrutiny depends entirely on the quality of our Risk programs. As we grow, the volume and complexity of that work will outpace what the team can absorb - that’s where this role comes in.

This is a strategic operations role that lives inside our Risk function. It’s less about being a Risk expert and more about being an exceptional operator who is energized by learning new domains quickly, spotting inefficiencies, and building the tools to fix them. You’ll work closely with a variety of teams across Column (e.g., Engineering, People, Compliance, Legal, etc.) to figure out which processes and programs are slowing us down. By the time you’re done with a project, tasks that took days should take minutes, and you’ll have a deep understanding of what it takes to operate one of the most strategically important functions to our business.

This role reports to the Head of Technology Risk and is in-person based out of our San Francisco Presidio office 3-4 days a week.

Commercial Counsel

Column is building out its commercial legal team! As Commercial Counsel, you'll go well beyond contract review: you're designing the frameworks that let modern fintech products actually get built, navigating regulatory complexity, and working shoulder-to-shoulder with Sales, Risk, and Compliance to architect our partnerships agreements.

The work is novel, and most of what you'll encounter doesn't have a playbook. If you're the kind of lawyer who gets energized by working in grey areas, who wants to be a strategic partner rather than a downstream reviewer, and who cares about how financial services actually get delivered at scale, this is your role.

This role is in-person (hybrid - 3+ days per week in our Presidio-based San Francisco office).

Senior Counsel, Strategic Partnerships (Lending)

At Column, we’re looking for a senior lawyer excited to own strategic partnerships end to end, from the first "we want to build with Column" conversation through drafting, signing, launch, and ongoing expansion. Instead of handing the work off to a relationship manager or a separate product team, you're the through-line. You will architect novel partnership structures that enable modern banking experiences and shape how we build and launch unique products, navigating complex regulatory requirements along the way. You'll work closely with Go-to-Market, Engineering, Finance, Risk and Compliance and have a direct impact on how bespoke financial products are built and delivered at scale. Your unique perspective, drawn from past experience launching payments products, will allow you to navigate complex regulatory environments while maintaining Column’s competitive edge.

This role offers direct access to leadership and the ability to shape Column’s approach to complex partnership agreements, product development and regulatory compliance. You’ll be responsible for driving strategy and execution from start to finish, working closely with our fintech partners on everything from novel products to rapid-fire ideas for new features, delivery channels, product structures and UX changes.

This role reports directly to the Bank’s General Counsel.

Customer Engineer

As a Customer Engineer at Column, you’ll get the chance to work with some of the coolest companies in fintech and help them understand how to build solutions/products using our APIs and data model. This is a super cross-functional role where you’ll partner with team members across our engineering, business, operations, finance, and compliance teams to support customer implementations and drive payment volume through Column (and help grow our business as a result!). You'll also contribute to gathering and synthesizing product feedback, identifying gaps, and supporting the development of product requirements while learning how we prioritize new feature development with our engineering team.

This role requires more technical aptitude than the average Customer Engineering position - you'll need to understand our technology deeply to be an effective partner to our customers. You'll also assist in building internal tooling to improve operational efficiency, with significant opportunities to take on more responsibility as you grow.

This role will work alongside our team in our Presidio-based office (4 days in-person/week) and reports to Column’s Head of Solution Engineering.

Product Manager, Risk Analytics

Column processes over $2 trillion in annual transaction volume for some of the most sophisticated tech companies and financial institutions in the world. Keeping that volume safe is one of the most consequential jobs in fintech. We're looking for a high-agency product leader to own our risk analytics platform: the internal infrastructure that lets Column grow without creating openings for fraudsters, criminal networks, or state adversaries probing the US financial system.

You'll turn a traditionally manual function into a scalable internal product, working directly with our senior leaders to shape how Column monitors, investigates, and governs risk at scale. As we expand into new products and markets, this platform is what makes that growth possible.

This role is based in-person at our Presidio office in San Francisco (3-4 days/week).

Customer Risk Strategy

We’re looking for an exceptional all-around business athlete to join our Customer Risk Strategy team! You don’t need to be an expert in banking or risk on day one - we are seeking a self-motivated candidate who is excited about disrupting financial services and willing to utilize their highly strategic, operational, and product-oriented mindset to help drive continuous improvements across our existing operations. Your work will help Column deepen its relationships with its Fintech Partners by effectively managing our forward-thinking, strategic, and highly efficient risk programs (a critical differentiator for Column!) to ensure we scale safely. This is a unique entry point into the world of risk at a high-growth fintech company, where you’ll gain skills and experience that few others can offer.

This role will report directly to our Head of Regulatory Affairs and will partner closely with leaders across engineering, business, legal, compliance, operations, and go-to-market teams. This role is based in-person at our Presidio office in San Francisco (3-4 days/week).

Partner Diligence

The Partner Diligence team leverages deep regulatory compliance expertise to manage the diligence, risk assessment, control review, approval, and onboarding of Column’s FinTech partners. The regulatory landscape for fintech-banking partnerships is evolving daily, and Column is committed to exceeding regulatory expectations when it comes to partner onboarding. As such, we’re looking for someone who not only has a deep command of federal and state financial regulations, but also understands how to identify, assess, and mitigate the compliance risks posed by both consumer and commercial partnerships. Implementation of a best-in-class Third-Party Risk Management program is critical to the success of Column’s business model and growth of its partnership business, and the individual in this Partner Diligence role will have an opportunity to meaningfully influence the Bank’s strategic direction, growth, safety & soundness, and success.

This position will report to the Bank’s General Counsel, our Chief Risk Officer. There is a strong preference for this role to be in-person in our Presidio-based office in San Francisco, however we may consider remote candidates with frequent travel to San Francisco.

AML Analyst

Column's Financial Crimes team is responsible for protecting the Bank and its customers from money laundering, fraud, economic sanction evaluations, foreign corruption, and terrorist financing violations. Our program is designed to ensure the Bank, U. S. financial system, and our country are protected from illicit actors who exploit banking services with nefarious and criminal intent.

The AML Analyst role performs L1 triage investigations of transaction monitoring system-generated alerts and referrals, including identifying root causes of the alert, sources and uses of funds, and potentially suspicious activity. This role is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about the world of financial crimes, and who is interested in gaining experience across a wide variety of fintech customer types, use cases, and flow of funds to accelerate their AML career.

This role is a fixed-term contract, remote position with an initial contract duration of six months and the potential to extend based on performance.

I don't fit into any of these roles!

You get Column and you think you can drive value on day one. We'll be honest the bar will be pretty high for us to hire outside of these roles - but surprise us. Give us a compelling narrative and hustle....and we promise we'll read the email!

Please apply here

We're mostly hiring locally in the San Francisco Bay Area, however will be open to remote for exceptional candidates. Sadly we won't have the time to respond to everyone, but we do read every application we get. Please go through the application links, direct emails are strongly discouraged :)
