  • You will develop and execute multi-year growth roadmaps, including new product integrations, co-marketing strategies, and go-to-market expansions that drive significant GMV, revenue, and user acquisition.
  • You will analyze partner performance and recommend programs to increase product adoption, grow up-funnel awareness and visibility, and sell into expansion opportunities.
  • You will orchestrate cross-functional teams across our Product, Technical, Credit, Analytics, Marketing, and Risk teams to execute partnership initiatives and drive business results.

  • Strong written (e.g. proposals, memos, e-mails) and verbal communication (e.g. presenting) skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and executive audiences
  • Excellent analytical abilities to review merchant performance and report on the impact of specific programs to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Experience structuring, negotiating, and closing large-scale commercial contracts (e.g., RFPs, renewals, and multi-year agreements)
  • Capability to adapt quickly to changing priorities, take initiative, and go beyond defined responsibilities to ensure the success of projects and the broader team.
  • Ability to craft compelling value propositions, deliver persuasive presentations, and drive engagement with stakeholders to achieve business objectives.
