About Slash

Slash is building the future of business banking, one industry at a time. We believe businesses deserve financial infrastructure tailored to how they actually operate. That's why we're creating a new category of business banking. We combine the reliability of traditional banking (high yields, competitive rewards, and comprehensive security) with industry-specific features that make businesses more efficient, more competitive, and more profitable.

Started in 2021, Slash is one of the fastest growing fintechs in the world and we power over three billion dollars a year in business purchasing across numerous industries. We're backed by some of the best investors in the world including Menlo Ventures, NEA, Y Combinator, Stanford University, and the founders of Tinder and Plaid. Slash is headquartered in San Francisco, and has a strong in-person culture.

About the Role

We're looking for a highly connected, charismatic operator to lead our Startups vertical. As Head of Startups, you’ll act as both strategist and community builder, owning our GTM motion within the startup ecosystem and turning Slash into the default financial partner for founders and early-stage operators. You’ll work directly with our Head of Growth and CEO on a day to day basis to build this vertical from the ground up. You’ll drive top-of-funnel awareness through high-impact events, exclusive partnerships, and deep founder networks across Silicon Valley and beyond.

You’ll be the face of Slash in the startup community, hosting events, striking partnerships, and creating opportunities to embed Slash in founder workflows.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and lead the Startups vertical at Slash, with full ownership over revenue, growth, and community

• Act as a magnet for top-tier founders through dinners, events, demo days, and incubator/investor partnerships

• Design and execute scalable founder outreach, onboarding, and retention strategies

• Represent Slash at high-leverage ecosystem events and serve as the face of our startup presence

• Identify unique financial pain points in the startup lifecycle and influence product roadmap accordingly
  

We’re Looking for Someone Who

• Has deep experience operating or investing experience in the startup ecosystem

• Is deeply embedded in the Bay Area founder and investor communities (YC, a16z, First Round, etc.)

• Has an innate ability to build trust quickly with elite operators and founders

• Is energized by in-person work and excels at hosting, connecting, and closing

• Thinks strategically but executes quickly: you should know how to create playbooks, not just talk strategy

• This is a founder-like role where you get to take on the role of a "growth" founder.

What’s in it for You

• A blank canvas to own and scale one of Slash’s most strategic verticals with a team who has grown revenue 30% month over month

• Competitive salary + equity package

• Unlimited PTO, Health, Vision, and Dental coverage

• Elite network access and career-defining brand-building opportunities
