You’ll be the single point of accountability for partner pipeline, performance, and health – turning strong inbound interest and ecosystem momentum into a deliberate, repeatable go-to-market motion. You’ll work closely with GTM, Sales, and Product leadership to identify the right partners and turn those relationships into measurable revenue and adoption.

Lead co-marketing and co-selling: Drive campaigns, content, and co-selling motions with partners together with Sales and Marketing to generate and close opportunities
Continuously optimize the motion: Analyze partner performance, make data-informed recommendations, and collaborate with Product, Engineering, and leadership to double down on what works

Experience in crypto, fintech, or financial services, or strong familiarity with payment companies, exchanges, custodians, banks, or infrastructure providers

Strong relationship-building skills and executive presence: you can work credibly with senior external stakeholders and collaborate effectively across GTM, Product, and Engineering

Analytical and outcome-oriented: you’re comfortable with pipeline and performance data, and you set clear success metrics for partnerships
Experience leading partnerships for network businesses
Experience in startups taking new products or motions from 0 → 1 → 1000
