Social Community Manager

We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam.

Our Brand Marketing team at Plaid builds awareness, shapes perception, and grows Plaid's presence in the market. We combine deep product and industry knowledge with strong creative instincts. We want Plaid known and trusted by the companies and people who rely on financial technology. We believe every company offering financial products to consumers deserves the best financial technology, and people should understand why it matters.

As our Social Community Manager, you'll help us get there. You'll build and run Plaid's social communities, showing up where our audience already is, listening closely, and turning those conversations into trust. You'll also help bring customer and employee voices to the forefront, so the people who know Plaid best are the ones telling its story.
