Collectors Financial Services is at the forefront of a new frontier—developing scalable, automated financial products that unlock liquidity and buying power for collectors, sellers, and investors. We benefit from both the agility of a fintech startup and the reach and resources of a market-leading organization.

We’re looking for a Director, Financial Services Strategy & Growth to lead the expansion of our Financial Services offering and shape the future of collectibles financing.

• Launch instant loan offerings tied to vault items and Set Registry entries, supported by intuitive UX across our platforms.
• Drive product integrations across MyCollection, Set Registry, our Online Submission Center, and other customer touch points.
• Create customer-friendly applications and in-product experiences that support financial services adoption.
  
  

Growth Marketing & Partnerships

• Develop and execute go-to-market strategies for lending services, including strategic partnerships and channel marketing.
• Collaborate with internal marketing teams to build inbound funnels through SEO, email, content, social, and video campaigns.
• Plan and promote presence at industry trade shows and events to drive awareness and lead generation. Leverage internal platforms (e.g., CardLadder, Set Registry, PSA Pop Reports, CCE) for targeted product promotions. Oversee the creation of marketing assets, including website content, social media, and sales collateral.
  
  

Compliance & Global Expansion

• Identify and manage regional compliance and partnership requirements to support global growth.
• Ensure all financial offerings meet TILA and state-level regulatory standards.
• Develop and execute market entry strategies for international expansion, with an initial focus on Asia and Europe.
  
  

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial, with a hands-on, scrappy approach to problem solving.
• Strong cross-functional leadership and project management skills.
• Proven experience as a senior growth, product, or marketing leader in a fintech or embedded finance environment.
• Strong track record launching and scaling financial products (especially term loan, credit lines, BNPL, bridge loans, or sale advance tools).
• Understanding of user acquisition and go-to-market strategy.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks in financial services; ability to work with compliance and legal teams.
• Passion for collectibles, trading cards, or related markets is highly desirable.
