Role Overview

As the Vice President of Partnerships at interface.ai, you will be responsible for building, leading, and scaling the partnerships function. You'll own the entire lifecycle of partnerships from identifying and securing new strategic partners to deepening and expanding relationships with existing ones.

While you'll shape the long-term partnership strategy, this is also a hands-on role-especially in the early stages. You'll be actively in the field, driving execution alongside strategy, setting the foundation for how interface.ai builds and grows with partners. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Marketing to ensure that partnerships align with business objectives, bring meaningful value to our clients (community banks and credit unions), and contribute to our long-term success
