Partnerships Manager

Partnerships Manager

Role Overview:

Angove Partners is partnering with a fast-growing AI-native risk infrastructure platform supporting financial institutions in making faster, more accurate decisions around onboarding and evaluating businesses.

We're looking to connect with Partnerships Managers ready to build and scale a strategic partnerships function from the ground up. This cross-functional role works closely with Sales, Product, Solutions, and Marketing to drive co-selling, pipeline growth, and revenue impact, reporting directly into the Head of Sales.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the full partnership lifecycle, from discovery and due diligence through negotiation, launch, and ongoing growth
• Keep pipeline and partner activity rigorously tracked in a CRM (e.g. HubSpot), covering partner-sourced opportunities, deal stages, and next steps
• Represent the business at sponsored and industry events with credibility and professionalism
• Take full ownership of strategic partnerships, from initial sourcing and deal structuring through to launch, enablement, and long-term scaling
• Equip partners to represent the business effectively by training their sellers and reinforcing key messaging and positioning
• Build strong working relationships with partners through joint go-to-market calls, regular check-ins, and co-hosted events to stay front of mind
• Drive alignment across internal stakeholders, manage timelines, and deliver launches with minimal oversight
• Develop repeatable partner playbooks and enablement materials, including training sessions, co-marketing initiatives, and partner-facing collateral to drive adoption
• Travel approximately 10–20% of the time for partner meetings, events, and internal collaboration
• Collect feedback from partners and customers, working with Product, Solutions, and Engineering to feed it into product and process improvements
• Design scalable onboarding and enablement systems for partners, then work directly with them to source leads, close deals, and grow the network

About you:

We're interested in connecting with Partnerships Managers with experience in:

• 4\+ years in partnerships, account management, business development, or strategy roles within a fast-paced startup, fintech, or financial services environment
• Strong understanding of how financial institutions evaluate, procure, and implement software, whether from working inside one or selling into them
• Owning end-to-end execution, aligning multiple stakeholders, and keeping complex initiatives on track
• Managing pipeline, partner activity, and reporting through HubSpot or a similar CRM
• Building trust and influence across both internal teams and external partners
• Operating comfortably amid ambiguity and shifting priorities, creating structure where none currently exists
• Taking initiatives from zero to one and turning them into scalable, repeatable processes
• Seeking out feedback and continuously refining how you work
• Building systems designed for leverage and scale rather than one-off wins
• Representing a company confidently and professionally in external and partner-facing settings
• Taking full ownership of a function and driving it from the ground up

If you're a self-motivated, strategic operator who builds trust easily and thrives on ownership, ambiguity, and fast execution, we'd be interested in speaking with you about building a high-leverage partnerships function from the ground up.
