The company's integrated AI platform offers a unified banking experience through voice, chat, and employee-assisting solutions, enhanced by cutting-edge proprietary Generative AI.

Our mission is clear : to transform the banking experience so every consumer enjoys hyper-personalized, secure, and seamless interactions, while improving operational efficiencies and driving revenue growth.

Combining this with deep industry expertise, interface.ai is the AI solution for banks and credit unions that want to deliver exceptional experiences and stay at the forefront of AI innovation.

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. This is a critical, high-impact role in a fast-growing company, focused on driving growth through a partner-first approach.

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.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify, negotiate, and launch strategic partnerships with technology vendors, core banking platforms, system integrators, and other relevant players in the financial services ecosystem
  • Deepen relationships with existing partners to drive co-selling, co-marketing, and product integration opportunities
  • Develop a structured framework to evaluate partner performance and impact, and adjust strategy as needed
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure partner activities are integrated into broader go-to-market efforts
  • Serve as the executive sponsor for key partners, building trusted relationships at the leadership level
  • Establish operational processes and systems to support scalable partner management
  • Hire, mentor, and lead a small but high-performing partnerships team as the function grows
  • Represent interface.ai at industry events and in partner-facing forums to drive visibility and thought leadership

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in business development, strategic partnerships, or related leadership roles in B2B SaaS or financial technology
  • Strong understanding of the credit union and community banking space—either from direct experience or from working closely with financial institutions and their tech ecosystems
  • Demonstrated success in initiating and growing strategic partnerships that resulted in revenue or product impact
  • Experience building a partnership function from the ground up or scaling an early-stage program
  • Strong negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills at the executive level
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to translate business goals into actionable partnership initiatives
  • Highly self-directed, with the ability to work across functions in a fast-paced, growing company
  • Based in the Bay Area with ability to work from our San Jose office regularly
  • Compensation

    Salary and Variable is expected to be between $260,000 - $310,000 , with variable compensation based on performance and impact. Exact compensation may vary based on skills and location.

    Why are you being asked to complete this form?

    We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

    Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov / ofccp.
