As Head of Partnerships, you will own Brigit’s B2B partnership strategy and commercial outcomes. You will grow and expand strategic relationships, launch embedded-finance partnerships, and evaluate new opportunities to bring Brigit’s capabilities to more consumers through partners.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will set priorities and targets, personally lead consequential deals and accounts, build the operating cadence for a growing business, and hire and develop the team needed to scale it. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Growth, Risk, Legal, and Compliance to move opportunities from commercial thesis to signed agreement, launch, and measurable performance.

• Build the growth engine. Define the B2B partnership strategy, target segments, partner value proposition, commercial goals, and quarterly priorities. Maintain a qualified pipeline and make clear investment and go/no-go recommendations.
• Win and grow strategic partnerships. Lead executive relationships, negotiations, renewals, and expansion plans for key partners. Own partner business reviews and turn performance insights into actions that improve results for Brigit and its partners.
• Launch embedded offerings. Lead opportunities from discovery and deal structure through contracting, integration, launch, and optimization. Establish repeatable commercial terms, launch criteria, and partner-management practices that reduce friction as the business grows.
• Test new partnership models. Work with Risk, Data, Product, and potential lender partners to assess the commercial and technical case for cash-flow-based underwriting data. Coordinate studies, evaluate partner demand and economics, and recommend whether to proceed.
• Shape the partner experience. Translate partner needs into clear commercial requirements and priorities for reusable integrations, working with the B2B engineering team and Product on delivery.
• Build and lead the team. Manage affiliate partnerships in coordination with Growth, hire for emerging embedded and data-partnership opportunities as approved, and establish clear ownership, goals, coaching, and accountability.
• Operate responsibly. Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Risk on diligence, contracting, data use, and launch readiness. Surface regulatory questions early rather than treating approval as a final-stage check.

In the first year, you will establish an approved partnership strategy and operating cadence; strengthen performance and expansion plans for major accounts; move priority embedded opportunities through clear launch or go/no-go…
