Director, Partner Acquisitions and Alliances

Fin Query stands at the forefront of accounting automation, driven by a deep specialty in contract-driven accounting. Our AI-enabled platform transforms how controllers and finance teams operate, seamlessly managing and accounting for the complex financial contracts—like leases, prepaids, and accruals—that are the backbone of modern business. We are not just a software provider; we are the unified subledger that eliminates time-intensive, error-prone technical accounting workflows, ensuring financial reports are accurate and empowering our customers to focus on strategic, high-value tasks.

Fin Query is the global leader in lease accounting (as recognised on ) and serves more than 8,500 customers worldwide. Our growth trajectory has been consistently validated by the Inc 5000, which has recognised us as one of the fastest-growing private companies for five consecutive years.

Fin Query is seeking an ambitious and results-driven Director, Partner Acquisitions and Alliances to join our Channel Sales team. This vital, UK-based opportunity for growing Fin Query's footprint across the UK and Ireland is for a professional who is passionate about technology, specifically SaaS solutions, and eager to drive significant company growth through strategic alliances. This person will be instrumental in nurturing and expanding our network of channel partners and resellers across the UK and potentially the wider EMEA region.

The ideal candidate will have prior experience partnering with or selling to the client advisory services (CAS) divisions of accounting firms. Strong preference will be given to candidates with additional experience managing service partners, software resellers, and referral partners. The ideal candidate will independently drive new partnerships from initial sourcing through to post-acquisition support. This includes conducting demonstrations, negotiating the financial terms of the purchase, and ensuring partner success as a customer.

This role requires a blend of relationship management, commercial acumen, and sales execution to ensure our partners are well-equipped to successfully position, sell, and implement Fin Query's solutions.

If you are a results-oriented professional, with interest in joining a growing global company and playing a critical role in scaling our presence in the UK market through a high-impact channel programme, we want to talk to you.
