Paystand • Santa Cruz, CA

7d • $180,000 - $240,000 • Onsite

About The Position

At Paystand, we’re not just another fintech company—we’re trailblazers in decentralized finance (DeFi), transforming how businesses manage their finances. With thriving hubs in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Austin, Minneapolis, Mexico City, Hermosillo, and Guadalajara, we’re leading a global revolution in financial systems. Recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years, we’re among the fastest-growing companies reshaping the future of finance.
Our Expanding Ecosystem: Paystand isn’t just a company—it’s a growing global network. With the strategic acquisitions of Teampay, a leader in spend management, and Yaydoo, a top AR and AP platform in Latin America, we’re building an expansive ecosystem designed to revolutionize financial operations and fuel business growth worldwide.
Why Paystand?
What We Do: By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, we digitize receivables, automate financial processes, reduce time-to-cash, lower transaction costs, and unlock new revenue streams for businesses.
Why We Do It: We’re driven by a mission to revolutionize digital payments and decentralize finance, creating a more open, inclusive, and transparent financial ecosystem, starting with B2B payments.
How We Do It: As change-makers in the DeFi movement, we don’t just follow trends—we set them. If you’re passionate about shaping the future of fintech and eager to redefine what financial technology should look like, Paystand is the place where you can make a significant impact.
Join Us: Be part of something bigger. Join Paystand and help us lead the financial revolution.
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.
