What is an Account Executive at Prosper Marketplace?
At Prosper Marketplace, an Account Executive plays a pivotal role in driving the growth and sustainability of America’s first peer-to-peer lending platform. Unlike traditional financial institutions, Prosper Marketplace relies on a dynamic digital ecosystem to connect borrowers with individual and institutional investors. The Account Executive is directly responsible for expanding this ecosystem by identifying, securing, and optimizing high-value borrower acquisition channels. This role sits at the intersection of sales, business development, and strategic risk management.
The strategic influence of this position is profound. Rather than relying solely on broad-market digital advertising, an Account Executive at Prosper Marketplace focuses on building partnerships with external organizations—such as airline frequent flyer programs, affinity groups, and professional associations—to acquire borrowers who inherently represent a lower credit risk. By targeting these high-value, structured channels, you directly influence the quality of the platform's loan portfolio, helping to protect investor capital while scaling transaction volume.
This is a highly collaborative and fast-paced role. You will work closely with risk management, product, and marketing teams to evaluate the credit viability of different partner channels and tailor acquisition strategies accordingly. For a driven sales professional, this position offers the unique challenge of selling a sophisticated financial technology solution while navigating the complex risk parameters of the modern fintech landscape.
