Overview

We're making America's safety net more user-friendly

At Propel, we believe that tech hasn’t pulled its weight in solving real social problems. While tech alone won’t solve poverty, it can play a much larger role in building safety net services that restore financial health. 

We believe that the best way to change the system for low-income Americans is to build a thriving business that aligns our incentives: a system where our business grows if and only if we help more low-income Americans improve their financial health.

Culture

If you're passionate about using technology for good and you love solving challenging, ambiguous problems in creative ways, we’d love to talk to you. We have a team of deeply passionate people committed to making a positive impact. 

Technology for All

At Propel, we believe everyone deserves access to user-friendly technology that improves their lives. We focus on empowering low-income Americans by simplifying navigating the complexities of the safety net and uncovering other opportunities to strengthen their financial well-being. We're not just building a product, we're helping pave the way for a more inclusive tech landscape. Join us as we create a model for other companies to follow.

Unique Challenge, Rewarding Impact

Our mission inherently makes achieving a profitable and sustainable business much more challenging. There is no playbook for what we’re trying to do. We must drive sustainable revenue through building multiple strong and profitable business offerings that serve the unique needs of low income Americans. Ultimately, though, when you wrap your day, you’ll do so knowing you are focusing your talents on solving complex systemic issues impacting real people. Your work matters – a lot.

Mission-Driven Excellence

Let's be honest: it'll take an extraordinary effort to make a dent on poverty in America. We hold ourselves to a very high standard - which translates into detail orientation, precise communication, and world class speed.

Progress over Perfect

The mission is too big to solve all at once, but we take pride in progress. Long term success requires both focus and a willingness to increment and learn.

Listen First

We approach our work with humility and the acknowledgement that there's a lot we don't know. We don't pity or look down on low-income families - instead, we take inspiration from their resilience and ensure that they have a seat at the table.

Propel Each Other

We value the work that includes and accelerates others. The success of those around you is your success. We celebrate our wins together and we learn from our mistakes together.

At Propel, we're building a culture of inclusion and empowerment. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background. This translates not just within our team, but also in the impact we want our product to have.
Our product tackles real-world challenges faced by millions of users from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. We understand the tech industry hasn't always excelled at inclusivity, and we're committed to doing better and building towards a team that reflects the diversity of our user base. 

Building a diverse team isn't just the right thing to do, it's essential. We particularly welcome those with lived experiences that reflect our users to apply. A team that reflects the people we serve allows us to create solutions that truly resonate. That's why we actively work towards creating inclusive hiring practices and fostering an environment where everyone feels valued for their unique perspective.

We're a growing company, and achieving a truly representative team takes time. But we're committed to the journey, and we're actively working to ensure fair and equitable processes for everyone – from hiring and compensation decisions to growth and promotion opportunities.
