About us

At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We’re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.  

GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 85,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We are headquartered in the UK, with additional offices in Australia, France, Latvia and the United States.

About Payer Proposition

We are a small and newly formed team that is responsible for developing GoCardless’ payer proposition. 

GoCardless is used by tens of millions of payers each year, but so far we have done little to engage and build a relationship with them. Most still use our services without knowing. 

We want GoCardless to become the easiest, and most rewarding way for payers to pay. In turn we want to use the relationship we build with our payers to enhance our service for our merchants. This means you’ll be exploring areas as varied as whether we can improve our paying experience, to whether we should offer rewards and incentives for paying with GoCardless. 

This is a greenfield area for GoCardless, and will involve a high level of ambiguity, experimentation and cross-functional collaboration as we go on this journey to make GoCardless the easiest and most preferred way to pay.

  • You adapt to new technologies and processes quickly.
  • You have a customer and product centric mindset, and are excited to deliver features to transform the payer experience
