VP - Strategic Partnerships Remote

Curious Minds. Bold Ideas. Extraordinary Impact
. We're transforming financial services through bold innovation and relentless execution. You bring the ideas and drive. We'll build what's next - together.

As VP of Global Strategic Partnerships, you will lead nCino's partnership function globally at a pivotal moment for agentic banking, setting nCino's global partnership strategy and organizational objectives in partnership with CRO and Regional GMs and translating them into worldwide execution. As the global leader for this function, you will lead a matrixed global partner organization, coordinating across regional teams to align local execution with worldwide strategy.
