Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

The Partner Manager will work with Affirm's most strategic third party partners to expand the distribution of Affirm's services to merchants and end users, with the ultimate goal of driving GMV and revenue growth. The Partner Manager position is a high-profile, partner-facing role requiring outstanding relationship management and strategic planning skills to influence internal and external stakeholders and create strategic opportunities. As the primary contact for Affirm partners, this role is responsible for spearheading business growth through strategic initiatives that expand Affirm's reach and create mutual value for both Affirm and its partners.

  • Create and execute a partner management strategy to increase GMV, revenue, and users, while broadening Affirm's relationship coverage and influence with the partner
  • Assess partner performance and propose strategies to boost product adoption, expand user awareness and visibility, and ensure continual growth through the partnership
  • Orchestrate cross-functional teams across our Product, Technical, Credit, Analytics, Marketing, and Risk teams to execute partnership initiatives 
  • Ensure operational excellence and proactively identify areas for process improvement and program optimization, implementing changes to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the partnership

What We Look For:

  • 6+ years of B2B client/partner-facing experience, preferably in a high-growth tech environment
  • Vertical experience in e-commerce, fintech, payments, and/or consumer financing is preferred
  • Prior role experience in strategic partnerships, business development, or enterprise client management is preferred
  • Excellent customer and/or partnership relationship management skills with the ability to manage strategic accounts   
  • Experience in managing cross-functional projects with a high attention to detail
  • An exceedingly strong communicator, both in written (e.g. proposals, memos, e-mails) and verbal communications (e.g. presenting)
  • Strong analytical skills to evaluate business performance and communicate program performance to both internal and external stakeholders
  • Proven ability to oversee and facilitate complex commercial contract negotiations and successful deal execution (e.g. RFPs, renewals, deal expansions)
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of partnership processes, programs, and key performance indicators
  • Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities, take initiative, and go beyond defined responsibilities to ensure the success of projects and the broader team
