found - Growth Partnerships Lead

• 4–6+ years in partnerships, affiliate/channel marketing, business development, or sales, with a track record of sourcing and closing partnerships that produced measurable revenue. • A hunter's instinct: You're energized by finding new partners, getting the meeting, and closing the deal. • Negotiation and relationship skills: You build trust fast, structure deals that work for both sides, and can hold executive-level relationships as easily as you can send the first cold email. • Analytical rigor: You don't just report the numbers — you understand why one partner outperforms another, and you know what to do about it. You're comfortable in affiliate platforms and funnel metrics. • Ownership: This isn't a "set it and forget it" role. You see the data, form a hypothesis, test it, and know the next move. You flag the problem and bring the solution. • Builder energy: You do your best work in an open field with ambiguity, and you'd rather build the channel than inherit it. • Experience marketing to small business owners. • Familiarity with regulatory considerations for marketing content in fintech or banking.
