Aspiration is the first VC-backed neobank on a mission to be the leading consumer financial services brand and company focused on sustainability and the environment. At Aspiration, we created the category of sustainable, socially responsible retail consumer finance. We offer unique financial products to let people save, spend, and invest their money in ways that make them more financially secure and align with their personal values. Unlike other financial institutions, Aspiration is committed to building a relationship with our customers based on trust and aligning the customer’s success with our own. Aspiration has raised over $200M in funding to date, and is growing quickly.

We are looking for an organized, energetic Strategic Project Manager and administrator with a can-do attitude and passion for getting things done. The ideal person for this role will have strong organizational skills, the ability to focus on multiple moving parts, and a commitment to contribute to our mission at the intersection of financial, environmental, and social responsibility. This candidate will thrive working on several projects simultaneously and loves the fast-paced speed of fintech startups. The Strategic Project Manager for this role will report to our Vice President of Strategy and work closely with Aspiration’s CEO. In this capacity, this person will provide strategic leadership to the coordination and management of projects that will require clear and timely communications with various stakeholders across the company and monitor the progress of each project from end-to-end. This person will have the opportunity to learn about all components of Aspiration's business and interact with team members across all product verticals.

Action: We take initiative. We are doers, not bystanders. We don’t complain, don’t wait around, don’t fret, don’t get frustrated, don’t freak out. When we see something that needs to be fixed, we jump in and fix it.

Boldness: We don’t tinker, we transform. Saying “this is how it’s always done” is not an answer because no one before has done what we’re doing. Every step forward is exploring an undiscovered country -- innovation, creativity, and decisiveness are how we forge our path.

Customer-Centered: Our customers are at the core of our business. Delivering for them is our North Star. We are judged — and judge ourselves — by our measurable impacts in doing so.

Diligence & Dedication: We do what we say we’re going to do, when we say we’re going to do it. We consistently go above and beyond for our customers, our fellow team members, and our company. And we deliver work that is high quality on a dependable basis.

Entrepreneurial: Act like an entrepreneur not an employee, generate results for the company and customers everyday.
