Who We Are

Imprint helps the world’s best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com , H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.

In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we’re building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

As Director, Strategic Customer Relations, you will own the strategy, operations, and outcomes of Imprint’s customer escalations and back office functions. This is a senior leadership role with direct accountability for building and scaling a best-in-class escalations operation.

You will serve as the vision-setting, execution-driving leader across four core function areas: escalations, back office operations, credit reporting, and social media support — translating reactive, ad hoc processes into a structured, metrics-driven function with a clear roadmap for what great looks like.

This role requires a builder who has created functions like this from scratch, knows how to leverage outsourcing to scale, and can use technology — including AI — to transform how escalations work at Imprint.

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days

Established operating structure, clear metrics, and backlog visibility across all four function areas

Defined a 1–2 year vision for the escalations function and a concrete work-back plan to achieve it

Replaced the current escalation process with a scalable, agent-facing solution

Built productive working relationships with key cross-functional stakeholders: Risk, General Managers, Compliance, Legal, and Tech

Demonstrated ability to manage and leverage the outsourced escalations team effectively to scale capacity
