The posting

What is Coast

Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many millions of commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and businesses with fleets increasingly demand modern digital experiences and transparent financial services products. Coast’s mission is to deliver this at a transformational scale, beginning with the Coast Fleet and Fuel Card built on a cutting-edge spend management platform.

As we scale our Partnerships function, you will own the critical work of establishing strategic partnerships that drive the distribution of Coast’s product. Coast is built to help trades and transportation businesses save time and money, and you will identify, develop, and close relationships with prospective partners with whom we can share and drive that vision forward. This channel is growing very quickly and we’re excited to drive significant growth and innovation.

What You’ll Do

  • Work with Coast’s Head of Partnerships, CEO, and exec team to shape new partnership strategies for Coast to unlock at-scale distribution and create customer value through a variety of commercial relationships maintained by trades and transportation businesses.

  • Execute against your strategy, build relationships, and structure deals to drive increased distribution of Coast to new businesses.

  • Work with legal to negotiate and close agreements by establishing a repeatable and scalable deal framework.
  • Collaborate cross functionally internally and externally to stand up partnerships and manage them to measurable success.
  • Think creatively to identify new partnership constructs for distribution, customer value, and driver/employee engagement - and quickly pressure test them for viability, demonstrating real innovation in GTM
  • Work to activate partnerships, and sometimes wholly own marketing initiatives, including collateral, webinars, sales activation and even direct sales and customer engagement
  • Attend tradeshows and industry events to drive partnerships forward and activate current book of partnerships
  • Manage partnerships: Maintain healthy partner relationships and drive towards long term strategic goals - in our current structure you will own and continue to activate and drive your partnerships forward

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, you’ll be successful if you:

  1. Increase the number of active partnerships driving meaningful acquisition and payment for Coast
  2. Drive meaningful growth in deals sold and onboarded through partner teams rather than just referral to Coast’s sales organization, contributing to lower payback period for Coast.
  3. Identify and unlock distribution for Coast through new partner verticals, signing net new strategic deals for the company
  4. Ensure that the partnerships you structure drive healthy margins and profitability levels in addition to accelerating top-line revenue growth

  • AI-native mindset: you're already using AI tools in your daily work and you're excited to push further.
  • Strong analytical instincts - comfortable pulling metrics, spotting trends, and translating data into operational and commercial decisions.
  • Experience negotiating deals from indicative commercials through legal review.
  • Sales and pitching toolkit: you can prospect, qualify, demonstrate, negotiate, and close deals.

  • Flexibility and capability to navigate complex environments and ambiguity.
  • General business acumen - understanding of complex business and revenue models and how to navigate “big picture” challenges with tactical strategies.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
