About Upstart
Upstart is a leading AI lending marketplace partnering with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit. By leveraging Upstart's AI marketplace, Upstart-powered banks and credit unions can have higher approval rates and lower loss rates across races, ages, and genders, while simultaneously delivering the exceptional digital-first lending experience their customers demand. More than two-thirds of Upstart loans are approved instantly and are fully automated.
Upstart is a digital-first company, which means that most Upstarters live and work anywhere in the United States. However, we also have offices in San Mateo, California; Columbus, Ohio; and Austin, Texas.
Most Upstarters join us because they connect with our mission of enabling access to effortless credit based on true risk. If you are energized by the impact you can make at Upstart, we’d love to hear from you!The Team

We are energized by the prospect of breaking ground in our field and making a positive impact on people’s financial lives. We are looking for a full-stack growth marketing manager, who can help us grow our new products sustainably through compelling and creative ways.
Upstart’s Small Dollar Loan product is a non-predatory, fair-priced alternative that meets the needs of customers with urgent financial difficulties who are deemed “too risky” by most creditors. Our team is a bit like a startup in a larger company, iterating quickly to better serve customers and grow the business. Since our launch in April 2022, we’ve calibrated our ML models to this new challenge, automated 90% of the customer experience and proved our unit economics, and learned immensely while offering tens of thousands of people access to credit they would not otherwise have access to on the Upstart platform. We’re ready to grow.
