Head of Partnerships & Ecosystem

AI overview

Lead the design, launch, and scaling of Bizee’s partner monetization and affiliate growth platform, creating a repeatable strategy to drive revenue and customer retention.

About Bizee

Bizee (formerly Incfile) has helped more than one million entrepreneurs start and manage their businesses. We’re evolving from a formation service into an AI-powered Operating System for Entrepreneurs - intelligent systems that simplify complexity, anticipate needs, and give founders the freedom to build faster.

Our transactional products remain the primary entry point. Long-term growth, retention, and differentiation come from attaching a broader business operating stack - compliance, financial services, software, and professional solutions through scalable partner and affiliate channels.
