About The Position

ChargeAfter is pioneering the embedded lending network for point-of-sale consumer financing for merchants and financial institutions.

As a strategic advisor to your merchants, your goal is to maximize product utilization, drive feature engagement, and ensure clients realize the full business value of the ChargeAfter platform. The ideal candidate brings deep industry knowledge in consumer lending, specifically within the Home Improvement and retail financing space (including big-box home centers, building materials suppliers, specialty contractors, or large-scale furniture networks). You will represent ChargeAfter at a senior executive level, balancing relationship management with operational execution, while partnering closely with internal teams across Product, Engineering, Delivery, and Support to drive successful outcomes.
