Business Operations Associate at Cardless | LAYIQ

Experience
3–5 years of professional experience, with a strong preference for backgrounds in management consulting or investment banking. Operations, finance are also relevant.
A track record of building presentation materials that get used, not just delivered — you know what a good slide looks like, and you know the difference between a deck that informs and one that persuades.
Experience supporting senior leaders in high-stakes settings: preparing them for important meetings, managing follow-through, and keeping complex work organized.
Exposure to financial services or fintech is a plus, but not required. Intellectual curiosity about the space is required.
Skills and Competencies
Deck-Building and Visual Storytelling: You know how to structure a narrative, make a slide scannable, and build a deck that moves an audience through a decision. You have strong instincts for what belongs and what doesn’t.
Written Communication: You write with clarity and economy. Your memos and summaries don’t need editing. You can take a complex situation and reduce it to its essential elements without losing nuance.
Structured Execution: You bring order to ambiguity. You can take a meeting that ends without resolution and convert it into a clear next step. You are organized, dependable, and accountable.
Analytical Thinking: You are comfortable pulling numbers together, identifying what matters, and presenting data in a way that makes the takeaway obvious. You don’t need to be a data scientist, but you can’t be afraid of a spreadsheet.
Low Ego, High Output: You care about the work, not the credit. You are happy to be the person behind the scenes making things run. You don’t need to own the strategy; you need to make sure it gets executed.
Discretion: You handle sensitive information with maturity. You work closely with leadership and will have visibility into things that are not for broader circulation.
This Role Is Not a Fit If
You are primarily looking for a strategy role with ownership over direction and roadmap — this role supports and enables that work; it does not own it.
You view slide-building and meeting preparation as beneath you — that work is core to this role, not incidental to it.
You need a highly defined scope and clear swim lane — this role requires comfort picking up whatever needs doing, even when it doesn’t fit neatly into a job description.
You require remote or hybrid work arrangements.
Why This Role
Cardless is at an inflection point: the company has found product-market fit, raised the capital to scale, and is now executing against a clear roadmap to profitability. The work is consequential and the pace is fast.
