About Middesk
Middesk makes it easier for businesses to work together. Since 2018, we’ve been transforming business identity verification, replacing slow, manual processes with seamless access to complete, up-to-date data. Our platform helps companies across industries confidently verify business identities, onboard customers faster, and reduce risk at every stage of the customer lifecycle.

We’re looking for a Partner Manager to acquire and build the next wave of high-impact partnerships at Middesk. Your primary focus will be on sourcing, negotiating, and launching new partnerships — referral-based, reseller-style, and product-embedded — with leading platforms across fintech and B2B SaaS. These partnerships are a core part of our go-to-market strategy, shaping both revenue growth and customer experience.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who loves hunting for new opportunities, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to help define the blueprint for partnerships at a fast-growing company. You’ll join a small, foundational team and own the full lifecycle of new partnerships — from market mapping and outreach, to deal negotiation, to go-to-market execution.
We follow a hybrid work model, and for this role, there is an expectation of 2 days per week in our SF or NYC office. Candidates should be based within a commutable distance, as we believe in the value of in-person collaboration and building strong team connections while also supporting flexibility where possible.
Source and Close New Partners: Identify, prioritize, and pursue high-value partnership opportunities that expand Middesk’s reach. Lead negotiations and structure win-win agreements.
Build a Partner Pipeline: Create a systematic approach to outbound sourcing, pipeline management, and opportunity qualification to ensure a steady flow of net-new partnerships.
Launch & Activate Partnerships: Drive successful onboarding and GTM execution for new partners, ensuring seamless integration and early success.
Develop Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of trends in fintech, SaaS, and B2B integrations to identify whitespace opportunities and inform Middesk’s broader partner strategy.
Collaborate Internally: Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to align on go-to-market plans, ensure partner success, and surface partner-driven insights into our roadmap.
Shape the Playbook: Help define Middesk’s approach to partnership acquisition — from outreach frameworks to deal structures to KPIs.
4+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, or strategic sales — ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech, or another complex/regulated industry.
Proven hunter mentality with a track record of sourcing and closing new deals/partnerships.
Comfortable negotiating complex agreements with technical, operational, and executive stakeholders.
Strategic thinker with strong commercial instincts — you know how to identify mutual value and build the case for investment.
Excellent communicator who can build trust externally while driving alignment internally.
Energized by building in a fast-moving, evolving environment; excited to lay the foundation for how partnerships work at Middesk.
