The Team:
TrueAccord beats traditional collection agencies because we collect more money owed to our clients with incredible consumer satisfaction. We have signed up many financial institutions and large companies as our clients and continue to grow.
Our growth introduces challenges of scale: we are synchronizing multiple ledgers through legacy interfaces, and we must continue to improve the reliability, scale, and time-to-market of these integrations. At the same time, clients challenge us with product requests that require additional discovery, scoping, and road mapping – coupled with robust expectations management.
The Enterprise Growth team focuses on creating a delightful experience for our clients, who range from early-stage FinTechs to multinational financial institutions. We are the team that builds, configures, and upgrades our client integrations and discovers and champions the buildout of new client-facing products to enable our growth. We own the integration products, systems, processes, and configurations that keep clients in sync with all that happens on the TA platform. We also ensure that our platform provides the flexibility to serve a diversity of market needs while maintaining the product standardization and configuration necessary to deliver high performance at scale.

Reporting to the Director of Product, you will partner closely with many cross-functional teams, including Engineering, Client Success, Operations, Compliance, and Finance to gather product requirements for and launch new and improved platform configuration features and tools.
