You will be the central orchestrator across internal teams and external partners, ensuring integrations, agreements, and enablement steps are executed seamlessly.

Drive alignment across Product, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Capital Markets, and senior leadership.
Translate partner needs into actionable product and technical requirements (e.g., workflow design, data integrations, APIs).
Build deep understanding of commercial agreements, compliance frameworks (KYC/AML), data sources, and capital markets dependencies.
Serve as the primary partner contact throughout implementation, building confidence with proactive communication and solutions-oriented problem-solving.
Ensure internal operational readiness for partner launch by identifying risks early and driving resolution.
Continuously refine implementation playbooks, tools, and processes to enable scale.
Report on implementation progress, risks, and KPIs to senior leadership.

Requirements

8+ years of experience in program management, solutions engineering, product management, or partner enablement in a high-growth, complex environment.
Strong commercial acumen; comfortable navigating contracts, pricing terms, and negotiation touchpoints.
Demonstrated success managing cross-functional initiatives across technical and business teams.
Technical fluency: familiarity with APIs, data integrations, and system architecture.
Experience in financial services, fintech, capital markets, or compliance-heavy industries strongly preferred.
Exceptional judgment, ownership mindset, and ability to make fast, informed decisions.
Gravitas to influence senior stakeholders and build trust quickly.
