About the role...

As Partnerships Director, France & Spain, you will lead and develop a team of four partnership managers:

• Two Accounting Partnerships Managers
• One Venture Capital Partnerships Manager
• One Travel & E-commerce Partnerships Manager

You will own the partnerships strategy and commercial performance across both markets, building a channel-led growth engine that generates qualified introductions, partner-sourced pipeline and net-new business for the company.

This is a strategic, hands-on player-coach role. You will set direction, develop the team and build the operating model, while personally sourcing, negotiating, activating and growing strategic partnerships.

The role is focused on commercial partnerships and lead generation - not technical integrations. The initial priority is to build the Accounting and Travel & E-commerce channels across France and Spain. The broader scope includes Payments and Venture Capital and may evolve with business priorities.

The role is based in either France or Spain, with a minimum of three days per week in the relevant the company office.
