• Act as the primary business owner for partner integrations, closely collaborating with Product and Engineering to ensure an optimal user experience and timely execution.
• Stay abreast of key industry and competitive trends to inform strategy.

What We’re Looking For:

• 4+ years of experience working in tech product partnerships with deep product and roadmap understanding within a rapidly scaling and/or enterprise company. 
• Experience in fintech or payments a strong plus
• Proven ability to build relationships and navigate external organizations
• Strong attention to detail with a proven track record of success, initiating and building complex financial/product partner initiatives from scratch to scale.
• Drive multiple projects simultaneously through excellent organizational skills.
• Strong negotiation skills with a solid understanding of high impact commercial contracts and complex negotiating dynamics 
• A scrappy and humble mindset to work autonomously. You roll up your sleeves to get things done.
• Ability to tackle complicated and impactful business problems and operate effectively with flexibility in a fast-paced, constantly evolving team environment.
