About the company

Founders today are building global companies from day one - but the systems that manage their money were built for a different era. Aspire exists to change that!

We're building the financial operating system for global founders, bringing banking, software, and automation into a single platform so businesses can move faster across borders and stay focused on building.

Aspire is built by people who think from first principles, care deeply about solving hard problems, and take real ownership of their work. Our team brings global experience from leading fintech and technology companies, and many of us are former founders and operators who understand what it takes to build thoughtfully, make trade-offs, and deliver at scale in a global environment.

Backed by leading global investors including Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire has been trusted by more than 50,000 startups and growing businesses worldwide to manage their finances since 2018. Together with partners like J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise, we're building for the next generation of global companies.

About the role

Aspire is building the financial operating system for growth-stage businesses across APAC. As we expand our platform beyond payments and expense management, cash management is the next frontier, and this role is the founding commercial presence for that segment.

You will not be stepping into a defined playbook. You will be writing it. Working at the intersection of sales and product, you will bring deep transaction banking expertise from an institutional background, translate that into a commercial motion for high-growth mid-market companies, and jointly shape how Aspire's cash management product evolves to serve this segment.

This is for someone who has spent years inside a major bank's transaction banking or cash management unit and is ready to build.
