Partnerships Lead

About Ambrook

Ambrook's mission is to make sustainability profitable for family-run businesses. 

In the face of historic heat waves, drought, flooding, supply chain disruptions, water shortages, and pollution, climate impacts are intensifying across industrial America: from farmers facing crop losses, to truckers navigating fuel volatility, to contractors managing material shortages. Evidence shows sustainable practice upgrades deliver financial returns – from water-efficient irrigation to fuel-efficient fleets – but these changes require significant upfront capital and a clear proof of return-on-investment to owner-operators facing tight cashflows and razor-thin margins already. With data scattered across paper records and outdated systems, operators struggle to forecast whether a practice change will improve their bottom line – let alone prove business health to lenders and other funders. 

Ambrook is solving this chicken-and-egg problem by re-architecting the financial data layer of America's independent businesses. We're replacing unruly paperwork and expensive, archaic tools with an affordable accounting, banking and payments platform that helps operators understand their numbers and access capital for sustainable transitions.

Ambrook customers are our economy’s historic backbone and a manifestation of the American Dream. Done right, both financial and environmental sustainability enables these entities to stay independent and resilient in the face of climate-driven volatility. 

We’re starting by building for farmers and ranchers across America. 

We’re a Series A startup backed by top investors (Thrive Capital, Dylan Field, Homebrew, Designer Fund, BoxGroup, and more) and are looking for early team members who are looking to untangle the knotted intersection between American industry and climate.

The opportunity

We grew from launch to 7-figure ARR in 2024 thanks to the might of generalists. Now, we're looking for a sharp specialist to be our founding partnerships lead – and build the channels that can scale us to 8-figure ARR and beyond.

Ambrook has built a well-rounded, world-class team. You would be the architect of our partnership ecosystem, owning the spectrum from strategic partner identification to tactical relationship management and revenue generation.

• Teach: Partnership development best practices to cross-functional peers, empowering the broader team to identify and nurture valuable partner relationships.
• Learn: Ins and outs of building an agrifinance and climate tech company, including the nitty gritty of agricultural bookkeeping, the larger farm finance ecosystem, and natural resource management / ESG tie-ins.
