The posting

Context of the Strategic Partnerships Lead, Europe role

This is a high-visibility, execution-driven role responsible for originating, structuring, and scaling strategic channel partnerships globally. Reporting to the Head of Strategic Partnerships in Europe, you will have end-to-end commercial ownership and a clear revenue mandate.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, hands-on commercial leader who takes complete accountability for outcomes, ruthlessly prioritizes high-impact opportunities, and serves as the single point of contact for our most critical strategic partners. You must possess the curiosity and technical hunger to dive deep into Thunes’ product architecture and network roadmap to articulate compelling partner value propositions.

Key Responsibilities

  • End-to-End Ownership & Commercial Execution: Own the full partnership lifecycle from strategy and lead generation to deal structuring, contract negotiation, and post-close activation to achieve revenue targets
  • Single Point of Contact: Serve as the definitive, primary point of contact and partner advocate internally and externally, driving resolution for key issues and unlocking long-term account value
  • Deep Product & Network Alignment: Proactively master Thunes’ current product offerings and future product roadmap. Identify precise product-market fits and tailor joint value propositions for key platform partners.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Roll up your sleeves and work closely with internal teams across Product, Tech, Direct Sales, Network, Treasury, and Legal/Compliance to remove delivery bottlenecks, customize solutions, and bring partner deals live.
  • Ruthless Prioritization: Focus relentlessly on high-return, strategic deals that scale indirect distribution globally, actively filter out low-value distraction, and optimize go-to-market efficiency.
  • Account Strategy & Growth: Formulate and execute tailored account plans for strategic technology platforms, ecosystems, and specialist channel partners.

Professional Experience/ Qualifications

  • 10+ years of commercial experience in strategic partnerships, business development, management consulting or channel management within cross-border payments, fintech, or enterprise SaaS
  • Demonstrable history of hitting and exceeding high commercial targets and driving measurable revenue growth through complex partnerships
  • Deep desire to roll up your sleeves to understand technical/network details and influence/ articulate how complex solutions align with partner roadmaps
  • Successful at navigating internal cross-functional matrix teams to orchestrate and execute complex deals; working at a startup or small teams in this capacity is preferred
  • High degree of self-direction, high energy, and an entrepreneurial pragmatic "whatever it takes" attitude to problem-solving
  • Excited by a global mandate with willingness for international travel across key partner regions
  • Exceptional executive presence and written/verbal communication skills in English. Major European languages are a plus

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.
