FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS

Payments Sector

Business Development Associate

San Francisco, CA | Financial Technology Partners LP

ABOUT FT PARTNERS

FT Partners is the only investment bank focused exclusively on the financial technology sector. We deliver world-class strategic and financial advisory services to the most innovative companies shaping the future of finance — with particular depth in Payments, the foundational layer of the global financial system.

ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Payments-focused Business Development Associate, you will drive the firm's origination efforts across the payments ecosystem — spanning card networks, merchant acquiring, payment facilitators, B2B payments, real-time payments infrastructure, cross-border remittance, and embedded finance. You will identify strategic opportunities, lead deep sector research, develop client-facing materials, and build relationships with the leading payments companies globally.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Track industry trends, M&A activity, and emerging technologies across the payments value chain — including card-not-present, account-to-account (A2A), BNPL and open banking
  • Leverage in-depth research and analysis of the payments sector to drive deal sourcing and pipeline development
  • Lead analysts in developing client targeting strategies, analyzing prospective companies, and advancing the BD pipeline
  • Work directly with leadership of leading payments companies to enhance the firm's diligence and assessment of each opportunity
  • Collaborate with senior bankers across the firm to develop presentations and other materials to win new mandates
  • Manage the maintenance and enhancement of internal databases for market intelligence, transaction activity, and target clients across merchant services, payment processors, issuer processors, and adjacent verticals

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • 3–5 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, venture capital, corporate strategy, or a related field
  • Strong knowledge of the payments ecosystem — including acquirers, issuers, networks, processors, payment facilitators, and next-generation rails
  • Deep understanding of fintech market dynamics, including regulatory trends (Reg E, PSD2, FedNow, RTP) and competitive dynamics
  • Superior research, writing, and presentation skills
  • Bachelor's degree from a top-tier institution; advanced degree or MBA is a plus

COMPENSATION

  • Base Salary: $130,000-$150,000
  • Bonus potential and comprehensive benefits package

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.
