• Supporting the strategic efforts of the POD leader in managing key business accounts.
• Supporting day‑to‑day management of segment portfolio.
• Ensuring partnership and programs are running smoothly and successfully.
• Being a trusted voice on the team and to the customer, and helping them manage their payments programs with Marqeta.

Who You Are

• 3+ years of enterprise account management experience, ideally in fintech, payments, or banking.
• Strong communication skills across formats—verbal, written, presentations, and executive‑level stakeholder engagement.
• Exceptionally organized and calm under pressure—you juggle multiple complex workstreams simultaneously, prioritize ruthlessly when demands compete, and stay solutions‑focused when things get hard; you’re self‑directed in knowing who to pull in inside Marqeta and on the customer side, to move things forward.
• Self‑motivated and intellectually curious, with a track record of staying ahead of industry trends and competitive dynamics.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguous environments—comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and pivoting as situations evolve.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action—you don’t wait to be told what to do, you identify what needs to happen and make it happen.
• Collaborative team player who works well across functions internally and builds trust with diverse stakeholders on the customer side.
• Experience managing global customers with multi‑region stakeholder maps.
• Demonstrated operational excellence across complex, parallel workstreams: adept at managing competing priorities, maintaining follow‑through, and proactively connecting the right internal and external stakeholders to drive outcomes.
• Strong data literacy—comfortable using metrics and analysis to shape account strategy and business reviews.
• Brings a continuous improvement mindset—consistently seeking better processes and actively leveraging AI tools to work more efficiently and effectively.

Nice‑To‑Haves
