Summary Generated by Built In

Since 2018, Wisetack has been building transparent and intuitive consumer lending products that help service-based businesses thrive (think HVAC companies, veterinarians, or auto repair shops).

Our leadership team comes from top fintech companies such as Lending Club, Affirm, and Varo Money. And we’re backed by leading VCs, including Insight Partners, Greylock, Quadrille, and Bain Capital Ventures (investors in Airbnb, LinkedIn, Instagram, Dropbox, and more).

Having raised $84M, we’re a well-funded startup and have invested in people and technology while growing our partnerships — responsibly.

We’re also proud to have received recognition from the fintech world. Awards we’ve won include:

  • Ranked #21 on 2024 Inc. 5000 based on revenue growth
  • Ranked #15 on 2024 Deloitte Fast 500 based on revenue growth
  • 2024 Best Embedded Finance Solution for Banking Tech Awards
  • 2023 Best Consumer Lending Program by Tearsheet
  • 2023 Best Point of Sale Product by Fintech Breakthrough

But what you’ll find us gleaming about the most is the recognition from our own customers, particularly our sky-high NPS rating of 79. (For reference, the average score is 44 for financial services and 36 for SaaS companies.)

As a result of our efforts in building this healthy company culture, we’ve been nominated to several Great Places to Work lists, such as Best Small Workplaces, Best Workplaces in the Bay Area, and Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance.

Like any startup, we’re in it for the long haul, and we’re looking for people willing to join our journey of building something special together.

This process starts with our company values, which guide us in everything we do — and have played a critical role in our success. We valiantly abide by them, and would expect you to do the same:

  • Put customers first (that’s our M.O.)
  • Act fast (leverage our startup environment).
  • Lead the way (show and tell).
  • Take ownership (everyone is hands-on here).
  • Be a good human (no egos, build financial products that do right by people).

The Role

Wisetack is hiring a Borrower Success Specialist to help more borrowers complete and fund larger financing applications. You will own a portfolio of applications and work directly with borrowers to understand how they can move forward seamlessly. You will use judgment to prioritize opportunities, determine the right outreach and follow-up approach, help borrowers (and occasionally merchants) navigate barriers, and move each application toward funding or another clear outcome.

Our financial product and process are continuing to evolve, so this role will also have an opportunity to help us learn what works. Through your borrower conversations, you will identify recurring challenges, share feedback with internal teams, test different approaches, and help improve how we support and convert larger financing opportunities over time. This is a hands-on, quota-carrying role for someone who enjoys talking to customers, solving problems, and taking ownership of results. Commission is tied directly to funded loans.

Responsibilities
  • Own a portfolio of borrower applications and determine where to focus your time based on loan amount, funnel stage, time stalled, borrower circumstances, and likelihood of conversion.
  • Review individual borrower situations to understand what is preventing an application from progressing and determine the appropriate next steps within Wisetack's established policies and lending requirements.
  • Contact borrowers by phone, email, and voicemail, adapting your approach based on the borrower's situation, questions, objections, and stage in the financing process.
  • Determine the appropriate outreach and follow-up approach for your portfolio rather than relying solely on a prescribed cadence or script.
  • Explain next steps and help borrowers navigate common application barriers while providing an accurate and compliant experience.
  • Handle borrower questions and objections with empathy, accuracy, sound judgment, and appropriate urgency.
  • Determine when an issue can be addressed directly and when additional support from Underwriting, Servicing, Operations, or another internal team is needed.
  • Prioritize and coordinate follow-up across your portfolio to move applications toward funding or another clear outcome.
  • Meet individual goals for funded loans, funded volume, borrower satisfaction, and conversion.
  • Log activity, outcomes, and notes in Salesforce.
  • Identify recurring borrower questions, concerns, and points of friction and share actionable feedback with your manager and internal partners.
  • Recommend practical improvements to borrower outreach, follow-up, and the overall application experience based on what you are seeing across your portfolio.
  • Test different outreach timing, messaging, and follow-up approaches and share what is and isn't working.
  • Participate in improving and documenting best practices as Wisetack continues to develop its approach to conversion for higher loan amounts.
  • Partner with internal teams when recurring borrower issues may require broader process or operational improvements.

This position does not approve or decline credit, change underwriting requirements, or establish financing terms. The role is expected to exercise judgment in managing and prioritizing its portfolio, evaluating individual borrower circumstances, determining appropriate outreach and follow-up approaches, resolving borrower issues within established guidelines, and identifying when additional internal support is needed.

Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in business administration, marketing, communications, or related field
  • 2+ years of experience in consumer lending, inside sales, financial services, customer-facing growth, home services, or a similar environment.
  • Comfort with high-volume outbound communication and a proactive, growth-oriented mindset
  • Strong ability to build trust, handle objections, and motivate action
  • Good judgment and the ability to assess a situation and determine the appropriate next step without needing a prescribed response for every scenario
  • Curiosity and an ability to recognize recurring themes across customer conversations
  • Ability to share clear, practical feedback about what's working and where borrowers are experiencing friction
  • Empathy and sound judgment in financially sensitive conversations
  • Strong prioritization, organization, and follow-through
  • Consistent and accurate documentation
  • Experience using Salesforce or another CRM
  • Comfort working toward individual goals in a regulated environment
Conclusion

The base salary for the position is between $55,000-$62,000, plus annual target variable of $20,000-$25,000, equity, and benefits. Please note that the base salary range is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level and competencies.

What We Do

At Wisetack, we’re building financially-responsible consumer lending products that help service-based businesses thrive. We offer consumers a way to finance a purchase by paying in monthly installments. Founded in 2018 by a team of experienced fintech veterans whose prior experience includes PayPal, LinkedIn, Lending Club, Affirm, Amazon, and other leading companies, Wisetack is a well-funded early stage startup with strong early customer traction. We’re backed by leading VCs, including Insight Partners, Greylock, and Bain Capital Ventures, investors in Airbnb, LinkedIn, Instagram, Dropbox, and many more. We raised a $45M Series B and 2021 and have grown YoY exceeding our revenue goals! This is a fun stage in any company's lifecycle where we've got the core foundation built and a clear path to success, but you'd still be joining early enough to help shape the future of the company and learn a ton along the way. Business Insider named us one of the 70 most promising startups changing the world of finance and LendIt Fintech named us the best Emerging Lending Platform in their recent Industry Awards. The external recognition is great, but we're equally -- if not more -- happy with the recognition from our customers. Our current NPS rating is a sky-high 78. We're proud that we're building a product that customers love.

Why Work With Us

We start with our customers. Our NPS (Net Promoter Scores) are sky high & we win industry awards because the entire company is laser-focused on delivering an excellent customer experience. We're an early stage company and growing fast. Anyone who joins is guaranteed to learn. We like to promote from within so there is a ton of opportunity ahead!
