You will own the relationships with our most valuable allies: venture capital firms, investment banks, and stock exchanges. This role is equal parts market-facing brand ambassador and analytical operator. You will represent DealMaker in "high-signal" rooms—private dinners, conferences, and boardrooms—while simultaneously building the structured workflows that turn a handshake into a consistent stream of qualified issuer opportunities. What You Will Do Strategic Partner Development & Deal Creation - Identify and secure partnerships with VC/Growth Equity firms, Investment Banks, and Market Infrastructure providers. - Design partner "offers" with clear economic logic, defining how DealMaker and the partner co-create value. - Drive the partnership lifecycle from initial outreach and concept to signed agreement and launch. Brand Ambassadorship & Event Strategy - Act as a high-energy representative at industry conferences and private salons. - Host and coordinate intimate executive gatherings (roundtables, investor dinners) to build deep trust with senior decision-makers. - Develop a reputation as a credible, commercially sharp expert in the capital markets ecosystem. Program Management & Execution - Create repeatable partner motions: referral workflows, co-marketing templates, and sales enablement materials. - Build and manage joint business plans with partners, including quarterly pipeline reviews and performance tracking. - Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Legal to ensure a seamless experience for both partners and issuers. Executive Relationship Management - Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders at partner firms, managing relationships with high EQ and discretion. - Orchestrate internal executive participation (CEO/CRO) in key meetings to accelerate high-value alliances. What You Need Experience: - Demonstrated 5+ years in partnership development, BD, or capital markets coverage (VC, Private Equity, or Investment Banking). - Proven track record of driving partner-sourced revenue and turning networking into measurable commercial outcomes. - Experience in fintech, wealth-tech, or regulated financial environments is highly preferred. Traits & Skills: - The "Art": Naturally social with high presence; able to build trust quickly with executive stakeholders. - The "Science": Structured operator who values CRM hygiene, pipeline forecasting, and data-driven optimization. - Grit & Autonomy: A "zero-to-one" builder who thrives in ambiguity and prioritizes speed over perfection. - Communication: Exceptional writing and narrative skills—can distill complex fintech value propositions into compelling pitches. What Success Looks Like (Year 1) - Portfolio Growth: 5–10 strategically meaningful partners signed and actively referring deals. - Pipeline Impact: A measurable increase in qualified issuer opportunities attributed to the partner channel. - Market Presence: A solidified "top-of-mind" status for DealMaker within key venture and capital market circles.
