Coast • New York, NY

21d

About The Position

Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many million commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and drivers and fleets increasingly demand modern digital experiences and affordable and transparent financial services products. Coast's mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, beginning with the Coast Fleet and Fuel Card built on a cutting-edge spend management platform.
In just four years, Coast has grown to serve thousands of customers who depend on our fleet card and expense management platform for their fleet’s fuel purchases. Many of these customers have asked for a more intuitive solution to manage all their company’s expenses. In response, we’ve started building a broader expense management platform, beginning with a corporate card powered by software. This is where you come in.
As one of our first expansion hires at Coast, you will roll up your sleeves to do the critical work of expanding existing Coast customer relationships by upselling new products - starting with a corporate card. You will identify new opportunities within our existing customer base to expand their relationship with Coast . At the same time, you’ll help build out the expansion sales strategy and vision for our customer-first sales organization. Your contributions will directly drive revenue for Coast, while enabling the long term success of our future sales colleagues.
