About Paystand
It’s about time we reboot commercial finance.
For the past century, business payments have lagged behind the rest of the digital enterprise — held back by fees, fragmented systems, manual workflows, and paper-driven processes.
Paystand was created to change that.
We eliminate transaction fees, digitize the cash cycle, and help businesses create a self-driving money experience across AR, AP, FX, Bitwage, mining, USDb, AI, and emerging global financial infrastructure.
As Paystand enters its next stage of growth, our products, acquisitions, markets, customer base, and global footprint are expanding quickly. We need a senior corporate marketing leader who can turn that complexity into one clear, powerful, market-facing story.
This role is built for a scrappy, resilient, high-agency operator who thrives in disruption, moves quickly through ambiguity, and is energized by helping redefine the future of commercial finance.

This role will partner closely with Demand Generation, Product, Sales, Customer Success, RevOps, People, Partnerships, and regional leaders. Demand generation strategy, paid acquisition, funnel conversion, marketing operations, and pipeline outcomes remain owned by the Demand Generation function.
