Director of Business Development
Lithic
Our mission is to make payments safer and easier for everyone. We started with a consumer product (privacy.com) that helps people spend more safely using virtual payment cards. Then we launched a simple, modern API to make our payment and card issuing infrastructure available to other startups, fintechs, and brands. Today, that infrastructure is known as Lithic, and it powers billions of dollars in payments for some of the most innovative companies in the world.
Lithic is a remote-first company and has a distributed team with an office in New York. That means that if you want to work remotely, you can! If you want to drop by the office or work fully in-person, you can do that, too! We’ve raised $100M+ from top-tier investors including Index, Bessemer, Stripes, and Tusk Venture Partners, with a recent Series C that will help us scale.
We’re growing our sales team and are hiring a Director of Business Development to help us drive new business. As a Director of Business Development, you will own the entire sales cycle and act as the key contact for prospective customers. In addition to your work with prospects, you’ll also work closely with internal teams like marketing and product to help hone messaging, strategy, and product development.
