GoCardless are here to support you and we’re committed to making the hiring process inclusive and accessible for everyone. If you need extra support or any adjustments made, please reach out to your Talent Partner.

Remember, we don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.

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.

Our customers use us in a variety of ways (as a standalone solution, integrating us into their bespoke software, or activating an integration with an existing software package) and your role is crucial to the long-term success of the customers you onboard with GoCardless. Guiding our customers through a smooth and efficient implementation journey helps our customers quickly realise the benefits that led them to choose GoCardless in the first place.
