About Clerkie
Clerkie is a fintech startup on a mission to democratize financial wellness using the power of artificial intelligence.
We launched in 2018 with a consumer app designed to support the nearly 123 million underserved Americans navigating debt. Today, we power both sides of the ecosystem — delivering AI-driven financial guidance to borrowers while equipping creditors with cutting-edge B2B software to manage loan losses more effectively.
By pairing consumer experience with enterprise infrastructure, Clerkie is building a network that helps millions get out of debt — while helping financial institutions operate more responsibly.
We’re a remote-first team of 40+ employees across four U.S. time zones, backed by $41M in funding (including a $33M Series A in 2023). Investors include Citi Ventures, Left Lane Capital, Wellington Ventures, Flourish Ventures, and Vestigo Ventures.
About the internship
We’re hiring a GTM Intern to join our Growth & Go-To-Market team in a part-time role (minimum 20 hours per week). This internship is designed for someone who wants real ownership, meaningful exposure, and room to grow.
