Deal Execution: Lead the full partnership lifecycle from initial outreach through commercial negotiation, framework agreements, and go-live.
Value Proposition: Design scalable partner models and co-create "Better Together" strategies that position Brite as a distinct value-add for the partner’s business.
Partner Enablement: Ensure signed partners successfully complete technical setup or commercial training to actively route merchant volume within their first 60 days.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the primary bridge between partners and our internal Sales, Marketing, Product, and Legal teams to accelerate launches.
Operational Excellence: Maintain clean CRM hygiene, provide accurate monthly pipeline forecasts, and build repeatable playbooks for ecosystem health.
What success looks like
Portfolio Growth: Establishing high-impact alliances with clear paths to merchant activation.
Ecosystem Influence: Sourcing a consistent, high volume of qualified merchant opportunities through your partner network.
The Partner Playbook: Delivering a documented manual for partner onboarding, enablement, and smooth internal hand-offs.
Are you a brite mind?
Experience: 5+ years managing partnerships, business development, or channel sales specifically within the Payments, Fintech, or SaaS landscape.
Deal-Making: Strong commercial acumen and a proven track record of negotiating complex agreements.
Execution Mindset: A self-starter who focuses on measurable revenue outcomes and merchant activation, not just pipeline logos.
Communication: Exceptional relationship-building skills and professional English proficiency.

An optimistic, caring, and inclusive culture where you can be yourself.
A dynamic, fast-paced, and innovative environment, with the chance to join one of Europe’s hottest fintechs and learn from industry leaders.
The opportunity to make an impact from day one in an organisation that values quick decision-making, teamwork, and results over titles.
Exposure to a variety of verticals and use cases for our payments products, working with some of the fastest-growing businesses in Europe.
An annual well-being and professional development allowance to invest in your personal growth.
A team of fun, skilled professionals who are committed to making a lasting impact.
