Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager
Lead is a fintech building banking infrastructure for embedded financial products and services. We operate an FDIC-insured bank headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Additionally, we have offices in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, and New York City, where our technical, product, design, and legal teams operate.
While fintech companies continue pushing boundaries, they have largely accepted that directly integrating with banks is costly, time-consuming and operationally burdensome. This frustration comes in many forms : gaps in technical acumen, product scalability, client risk appetite, and company culture. These gaps clearly illustrate the need for a new paradigm in banking technology.
Lead Bank is bridging those gaps. We see a massive opportunity for a tech-savvy developer-focused bank to augment a sophisticated financial services platform with the compliance, regulatory, capital markets, and legal expertise required to help our clients succeed. Come join us on our journey.
As a Senior Strategic Partnerships Specialist, you will report to the Head of Strategic Partnerships and support all aspects of Lead's growth. You will have a material impact on Lead's go-to-market strategy and operations, creating playbooks, processes, and tools that improve our deal execution. This role will work heavily with prospective and existing clients across the fintech and digital assets verticals and develop relationships with senior management of partners. As an external-facing representative of Lead, you will develop an in-market network to drive deal flow and intelligence and become an expert on our platform who can serve as a first point of contact for those that want to learn more about us.
In this role you will :
- Manage and grow key fintech partnerships, acting as a strategic point of contact.
- Lead end-to-end deal execution for new and existing partners from sourcing to launch.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to align on deal structure, program scope, and execution.
- Present to executive stakeholders internally and externally, including partner leadership.
- Build, maintain, and automate deal management tooling, playbooks, and processes.
- Develop materials such as pitch decks, proposals, and onboarding documentation.
- Conduct regular partner reviews, identifying opportunities and resolving issues.
- Help shape and scale the partnerships function, processes, and strategy.
