People Operations

The Opportunity

As an early People hire, you will work directly with the COO to drive organizational growth and development. You will have impact and responsibility from day one, working directly with the founders to define people management processes, drive employee engagement, and lead recruiting initiatives.

We believe in hiring the best talent and letting you build with autonomy and ownership, while also supporting you to learn and grow your professional expertise. Not only is our team deeply skilled in their respective disciplines, we are eager to share our knowledge and learn from each other.

We move quickly. We are already working with the CFOs at a large number of banks and have several hundred in the pipeline. We are fortunate to be backed by Andreessen Horowitz, and our strategic partners include industry leaders across tech, finance, and government.

Your work at ModernFi matters. Our products help small and midsize banks better serve their communities, improving the financial health of millions of Americans. We are helping build the future of the American banking sector and, in doing so, contributing to the stability of the US economy.
