Flexbase is building the Financial Operating System designed to disrupt the largest and least digitized sector of the US economy: the $1.6 Trillion construction market.  Our first product is a high limit corporate card for construction businesses, with an industry-leading 0% APR for 60-days.  Similar to tech startups who couldn’t obtain credit cards until recent FinTechs disrupted the industry, SMB construction firms face similar challenges with traditional banks - except construction companies spend 10x more. Today we are growing incredibly fast with significant market demand. The total available market for Flexbase's Financial OS for the construction industry alone is $24 billion.

 

Flexbase is a fully remote company and this role can be performed from anywhere.
