🎯 Who GoodLeap Is Looking For

  • Has 7+ years in B2B product marketing, with at least 4 years specifically in fintech, payments, or merchant services (home improvement or trade services experience is a plus).
  • Deeply understands the operational pain points of home improvement trades (e.g., contractors, roofers, solar installers) and how payments/financing workflows impact their business.
  • Proven ability to craft compelling positioning and messaging for complex financial products, backed by strong analytical skills to track KPIs like adoption, activation, and conversion.
  • Experienced in enabling sales teams with pitch decks, competitive battle cards, and training materials—comfortable working cross-functionally with product, sales, and analytics.

📝 Tips for Applying to GoodLeap

1

Highlight specific fintech product launches you've led—e.g., a new payment acceptance solution or financing product—and tie results to metrics like adoption or revenue growth.

2

Show your understanding of the home improvement trade ecosystem: mention challenges like seasonal cash flow, payment delays, or customer financing friction in your cover letter or resume.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize B2B payments or merchant services experience, even if it's from a different industry (e.g., restaurant POS, e-commerce payments).

4

Include a portfolio of your best work: 1-2 messaging frameworks, competitive analyses, or go-to-market plans that demonstrate your strategic thinking.

5

Research GoodLeap's recent product announcements (e.g., Trade Pro, GoodLeap Pay) and reference them in your application to show you've done your homework.

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Read GoodLeap's blog and press releases to understand their recent product launches (e.g., GoodLeap Pay, Trade Pro) and company vision.
  • → Study their trade partner network: who are the typical contractors they serve? What are their pain points (e.g., payment delays, customer financing)?
  • → Review competitors like Sunlight Financial, Dividend Finance, or traditional payment processors (Stripe, Square) in the home improvement space.
  • → Check out GoodLeap's leadership team on LinkedIn to understand their backgrounds and the company culture.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 How would you position GoodLeap's financing solutions vs. traditional bank loans or credit cards for home improvement contractors?
2 Walk us through a go-to-market plan you developed for a new B2B payments product—what were the key steps and metrics?
3 How do you approach competitive analysis in a crowded fintech space? Give an example of how you used it to inform messaging.
4 Describe a time you enabled a sales team with new messaging or materials—how did you measure the impact on their performance?
5 What KPIs would you track for a product like GoodLeap Pay, and how would you use them to iterate on strategy?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't apply without specific fintech or payments experience—this role requires domain expertise, not just general product marketing.
  • Avoid generic messaging about 'product launches' without tying them to B2B payments or financing—be specific to this industry.
  • Don't overlook the trade partner perspective: if you can't articulate how a contractor benefits from GoodLeap's products, your application will seem out of touch.
