Account Manager

Are you a seasoned account manager looking to make a big impact on a mission-driven company? Do you thrive working in the earlier stages of a start-up? 

Propel is on a mission to empower low-income Americans by simplifying access to government benefits with modern technology. All of our users deserve first-class experiences in their daily interactions with the social safety net and financial services. We're a passionate team of 100 Propellers - all working to help our users get through the month, every month. 

We’re looking for a results-oriented Account Manager to join our largest business unit, internally called Marketplace.  Today it’s an advertising business, helping companies in a variety of sectors effectively market to low-income consumers. Our partners advertise mission-aligned products and services that help our users make it through the month. These partnerships are a core part of how we scale our impact: helping our users sign up for discounted home internet and government-subsidized phone plans, promoting grocery discounts and savings, and enrolling people in energy assistance programs, just to name a few.

• Exceptional written and oral presentation and communication skills – you’ll spend a lot of time in front of your customers! 
• Strong problem-solving and project management abilities - you’ll be responsible for campaign troubleshooting, launch timelines, experimentation management 
• Demonstrated ability to juggle competing priorities and navigate ambiguity 
• Strong attention to detail and comfort navigating technical systems - you’ll be responsible for implementing new campaigns, analyzing performance data, and identifying optimization opportunities 
• Excellent relationship-building skills, with a demonstrated ability to quickly build trust internally and externally
• Passion for building a business with a strong social mission at the intersection of private and public sectors

At Propel, you'll enjoy:

More About Propel

We believe that Americans with limited income deserve modern, respectful, and effective experiences around their government benefits and money. Unfortunately, the status quo often fails to treat them as first-class citizens in their daily interactions around the social safety net and financial services. The tech industry hasn’t pulled its weight in solving the problems faced by low-income Americans.

Propel’s mission is to change that. We’ve built Providers, the single most popular app in the country built specifically for low-income Americans. Over 5 million families each month use Providers to seamlessly manage their government benefits (programs like SNAP, commonly known as food stamps), conduct their banking, and save and earn money. Providers has been recognized by the White House, featured on the front page of the NYTimes, and carries over 500,000 five star reviews. 

Propel is a for-profit, venture-backed company that holds its social mission at its core. We’re proud to be supported by a blend of nonprofits, impact investors, and world-class investors, including the Robin Hood Foundation, Andreessen Horowitz, Nyca Partners, Financial Health Network, JPMorganChase, Kevin Durant, Serena Williams, and Nas.

Join us, and let's build something amazing together!
