VP of Account Management, New Verticals

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience.

After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing.
