Job Summary

As VP of Global Strategic Partnerships, you will lead the company's partnership function globally at a pivotal moment for agentic banking, setting the company's global partnership strategy and organizational objectives in partnership with CRO and Regional GMs and translating them into worldwide execution.

You will own the partner ecosystem that extends the company's market reach globally, accelerates customer time-to-value, and multiplies delivery and innovation capacity for the financial institutions we serve. This includes scaling existing partnerships and originating new ones, including with foundation model providers and the emerging AI ecosystem. This leader works from the front, close to where the work happens, and builds the multi-tier global leadership bench needed to sustain that reach.
