Head of Banking Partnerships (Founding Role)

Flexible (Preferred: NYC)

Type:
Full-Time

Meely is a financial infrastructure platform that enables banks to operate as a unified system instead of fragmented products.

We consolidate payments, FX, crypto, trading, and financial services into a single operating layer — while improving how capital flows across them.

Our focus is helping banks:

• Capture more revenue across payments and FX
• Improve capital efficiency
• Modernize their financial stack without disruption

We are currently onboarding our first banking partners and scaling globally.

We are looking for a senior operator with established relationships across banks and financial institutions to lead strategic partnerships.

This is not a traditional sales role.

This is a high-leverage, relationship-driven role focused on:

• Opening doors at banks
• Structuring partnerships
• Driving institutional adoption of Meely

• Leverage your network to initiate conversations with banks and financial institutions
• Build and manage relationships with senior decision-makers (CEO, COO, Head of Payments, etc.)
• Lead partnership discussions from introduction -> deal structure -> onboarding
• Work directly with the founder and leadership team on go-to-market strategy
• Identify high-value banking partners across regions (US, LATAM, Europe, MENA, APAC)
• Help shape Meely’s positioning for institutional adoption

• You already have direct relationships with banks or financial institutions
• Background in:
  • Banking (executive, partnerships, or strategy), OR
  • Fintech infrastructure (payments, FX, issuing, etc.)
• You understand how to navigate bank decision-making processes
• You’ve closed or supported institutional partnerships
• You are comfortable operating at the executive level

• Ability to open doors at banks
• Existing network of financial institution relationships
• Experience dealing with senior stakeholders
• Strong understanding of the banking and payments ecosystem

• Competitive base (flexible depending on profile)
• High success-based compensation per bank onboarded
• Equity participation

This role is designed for someone who wants to help build and scale a global financial infrastructure platform.
