FlexSenior Manager, Strategy & Operations (Consumer Protection Team)
Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience.

Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. 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. Will you be a part of the team?
