Our Team

Payroll is broken. Come fix it alongside a team that's as passionate as you are! At Check, you'll use creative problem‑solving, critical thinking, and grit to impact every business we build. We view problems to solve and jobs to be done as opportunities to contribute to the solution; we ignore conventional role boundaries in favor of the unique strengths and value each builder brings to our team and to our mission.

The Work

As Head of Partnerships, you will lead Check's partnerships teams across the full lifecycle—driving new partner acquisition and scaling post‑sales growth. You'll set the vision and drive the strategy, structure, and execution that enable Check and our partners to grow together.

• Serve as executive sponsor for key prospects and partners, driving engagement and alignment across the full partner lifecycle.
• Act as the voice of the partner in shaping Check's roadmap—advocating for partner needs, surfacing insights, and helping define the company's strategic priorities.
• Establish clarity and narrative around partner performance and pipeline, ensuring internal visibility into where we're winning, where we're at risk, and what actions drive faster revenue growth.
• Translate product improvements into compelling external messaging, strengthening how Check communicates new capabilities to both prospects and partners.
• Bring a CRO mindset to accelerate revenue growth, balancing strategic influence with hands‑on execution.
