Who We Are
Imprint is reimagining co-branded credit cards & financial products to be smarter, more rewarding, and truly 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. Our platform combines advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and seamless UX to help brands offer powerful financial products—without becoming a bank.
Co-branded cards account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend—but most are still powered by legacy banks. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, tech-forward, and built for today’s consumer. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay—and how brands grow. If you want to work fast, solve hard problems, and make a real impact, we’d love to meet you.
As Head of Field Sales, you will own and scale Imprint's in-house field sales function. This is a senior leadership role with full accountability for field team performance, partner relationships, and operational excellence across retail locations.
You will lead a high-performing field sales team, building the systems, processes, and culture needed to deliver measurable results for Imprint's most important strategic partnerships, and scale the team to support new partnerships as Imprint grows. This role requires a builder mindset, deep ownership, and the ability to operate with autonomy in a high-stakes, confidential transition.
