Pinwheel - Building a fairer financial system by unlocking API access to payroll systems.

More than half of Americans have a poor credit score or no score at all. Since most financial institutions rely on traditional credit scoring to assess risk, that means these people can't access affordable financial products. Instead, they resort to high-interest credit cards, payday loans, and trigger overdraft fees to make ends meet — which ultimately push them into deeper cycles of debt.

Pinwheel provides an API platform that makes it easy to connect payroll accounts like ADP and Gusto to any app. By unlocking the wealth of identity, income and employment data that sits in these systems, alongside direct access to paychecks, we can help innovators build the next generation of financial products that increase access for the underserved while improving the businesses of our partner fintechs, banks, and lenders.

Who are we looking for?

Pinwheel is at an exciting stage in our journey and we are looking for a Business Value Consultant who is able to quantify business value by translating Pinwheel solution advantages to specific financial results and business outcomes. We see this person presenting the value of Pinwheel solutions to prospect / customer executives with a solid understanding of how the customer will gain value and how our solution will drive financial value. You will report directly to the CRO and work to lead the use of value selling content and the value selling process at our top customer accounts. Additionally, partnering with Sales and Customer Success leaders to spread value-based selling among new and existing Account Executives and Customer Success Managers while working cross functionally with product and marketing teams.
