The posting

Founding Partnerships/BD Lead

📍 NYC (Hybrid) | Early-Stage Fintech | Credit Union / Bank Focus | Affiliate Marketing

🎯 The Role

We’re looking for a Founding Partnerships Lead to help build Debbie’s growth and distribution engine from the ground up.

This role sits at the intersection of partnerships, affiliate marketing, business development, and GTM strategy. You’ll identify and negotiate strategic partnerships, structure economics, source distribution opportunities, and help shape how Debbie scales with financial institutions and ecosystem partners.

This is not a “run the playbook” role — you’ll help write it. You’ll work directly with the founders to define Debbie’s partnership strategy across banks, credit unions, fintechs, affiliate channels, and distribution partners.

If you’ve worked in fintech partnerships, affiliate marketing, revenue partnerships, or financial infrastructure — and want meaningful ownership at an early-stage company — this role is for you.

🛠️ Responsibilities

  • Own Debbie’s partnership pipeline from sourcing → negotiation → launch
  • Identify and build relationships with: Banks & credit unions Affiliate and lead-gen partners Fintech ecosystem partners Distribution and channel partners
  • Structure and negotiate partnership economics, incentives, and GTM agreements
  • Collaborate directly with founders on: Partnership strategy Pricing and monetization GTM experimentation Channel expansion opportunities
  • Support select enterprise sales conversations with financial institutions
  • Help refine: Partner pitch materials Revenue models and ROI analyses Case studies and growth data
  • Represent Debbie at fintech, banking, and affiliate industry events

🚀 What We’re Offering

  • Base salary: $140K–$200K (based on experience)
  • Uncapped commission, currently at 5-8% deal size ($200K-$350K OTE)
  • Meaningful equity in a high-growth fintech
  • Bonus insane perk: New employees are exempt from NYC State and local income tax through the STARTUP-NY program.
  • Benefits: 100% covered health, dental, and vision + 401k benefits + wellness stipend

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.
