Product Growth Strategist (Payments)

About Upflow

Upflow provides the first global ‘Financial Relationship Management’ (FRM) platform—a revolutionary approach to leveraging cutting-edge technology & AI to help B2B companies get paid more effectively, unlock owed cash reserves, and enable them to grow more rapidly.

Most B2B companies are focused on sales growth & retention but struggle to maintain focus and discipline on cash collection. This leads to thousands of unpaid invoices, broken communications, outdated payment methods, and a negative customer experience. At its core a modern CRM solution for Finance, Upflow empowers business teams to take control of the customer experience related to payments and more broadly accelerating & securing their cash inflow.

We are a product-led organization that was launched in 2018 and trusted by hundreds of companies across the US and EMEA, including Lattice, Front, PandaDoc, Carta, ProductBoard, and >500 more across many different industries. We're also backed by leading investors (YCombinator, 9yards, Hexa, Hedosophia, etc.) and top business angels from N26, Square, Mercury, Uber, and Netsuite.

We're distributed across three continents and rapidly expanding. It's a perfect time to join if you're looking for an exciting personal growth opportunity and international experience.
