Office Manager at Octane (Dallas, TX)
Octane is a Fintech company whose mission is to connect people with their passions. The transaction process for large purchases such as powersports, RVs, boats, and home improvements is slow and frustrating, but Octane is changing that through automated underwriting, innovative credit products, and financing through our in-house lender Roadrunner Financial. Octane reaches millions of enthusiasts through editorial brands like Cycle World and Cycle Volta and helps consumers buy their favorite products with instant, frictionless financing on Octane.co. Octane is revolutionizing lending in under-served verticals that account for tens of billions of dollars in annual transactions.

Octane works with more than 3,500 merchants in the USA and offers promotional financing with low rates for more than 40 OEM brands.

The $21B Powersports market (motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, jet-skis, snowmobiles) is all about fast and fun, but the purchasing process is slow and frustrating.

Our automated underwriting and digital buying experience cut the time to close a transaction from hours to minutes. Octane's credit product expands coverage to responsible consumers who are typically underserved by banks.

We are both a platform and a lender, which means we have both high growth and positive unit economics—rare for a fintech. We have raised >$100M in venture capital from leading investors such as IA Ventures, Valar Ventures, and Contour Venture Partners.
