• Manage and be responsible for developing and driving strategic initiatives to accelerate business growth with signed partners
• Manage platform pipeline development, develop standardized deal and partner management process and stay organized across internal systems
  

What We Look For

• Prior success building strong relationships with decision makers and C-level executives, in large complex organizations
• Demonstrated ability to over-achieve quotas (top 10-20% of company) in past positions through complex deal cycles
• Excellent communication, presentation, writing (proposals, memos, e-mail), strategic and structured thinking, organization and project management skills, ability to manage multiple projects/tasks concurrently
• Ability to craft compelling value propositions, deliver persuasive presentations, collaborate and drive engagement with stakeholders to achieve business objectives (internally and externally)
• Fast learner who seeks out new opportunities, drives progress, and navigates ambiguity
• Knowledge of payments, consumer finance offerings, integrated software solutions, and/or willingness to learn
