Futureheads Partnership Opportunity

Futureheads have partnered with a high-growth consumer fintech to find an Associate Director of Strategic Partnerships, based in London on a hybrid working model.

This business has done what very few fintechs manage: built a genuinely mass-market consumer product that competes directly with the biggest names in payments, and won. They've scaled to millions of active customers, are adding six-figure new users every single month, and have the industry recognition to match, picking up over two dozen awards along the way. Their mission is to become the world's most empowering way to pay, and they have the traction, the product, and the commercial model to make a credible case for it. This is a business with serious momentum behind it and a culture that rewards people who take initiative, act without ego, and do things the right way.

This is not a partnerships management role. There's no inherited portfolio, no pre-built pipeline, no playbook to follow. The business needs someone who can look at a market, form a sharp view on where the opportunity sits, and build the strategy from scratch. You'll operate across two tracks simultaneously: accelerating distribution of the existing product through embedded, high-value partner relationships, and opening up new revenue streams by licensing core capabilities into new products, models and markets. You'll work directly with the VP of Partnerships, with high visibility into the C-suite, and real ownership over a function that doesn't yet exist in its full form. If you've spent your career executing other people's ideas, this isn't the role. If you're someone who builds the thinking and then brings it to life, read on.
