Senior Partnerships & BD Manager, Banking & Investing

WHO ARE WE

Our mission: create predictable high-value customer acquisition at scale by connecting discovery intent and performance across category-leading consumer brands in finance travel and entertainment.

We run profitable and bootstrapped with a South Florida HQ and a remote-first team across 18 countries.

WHY JOIN US

You own outcomes here not tasks. We measure work by impact not activity. The pace is real and change is constant so the people who do best turn change into opportunity instead of waiting for it to settle. Feedback runs direct and lands with respect. Ordinary people make themselves extraordinary at Launch Potato.

THE ROLE

Were looking for a hands-on Partnerships & BD expert to grow our banking deposits and investing partners and to bring on the ones we havent met yet. Most of the job roughly 70 to 80 percent is growing the partners we already have: bigger budgets better economics broader distribution. The rest is net new mostly warm with real outreach on the investing side where the relationships dont exist yet.

Youll work alongside our Head of Partnerships who will continue to focus on our largest strategic partners. On those strategic partners youll run the operations. Across the rest of banking deposits and investing you own it fully operationally and strategically. Thats what gives the Head of Partnerships room for the biggest bets and its what makes this seat yours.

This isnt a support role and it isnt customer service. The job is to grow relationships not just service them.

WHY THIS SEAT

• A category to own. Banking deposits and investing partners outside our largest strategic accounts are yours start to finish.
• A partner not a handoff. Our Head of Partnerships works closely alongside you for your first 90 days and the goal is full independence by about day 120.
• Room to shape it. Youll inherit real momentum but the strategy in these categories is still being written and youll help write it.
• Close to the media. Youll connect what partners need to placements across FinanceBuzz and our publisher network which is where a good partnership becomes an extraordinary one.
• Direct exposure to senior leadership on the deals that matter.

WHAT YOULL BRING

• Direct experience on the advertiser side of a financial comparison publisher marketplace or performance network managing bank deposit or investing partners.
• A record of growing accounts not just servicing them. You can walk through a partner whose budget you grew and what moved it.
• Sales DNA. You open doors and close. Warm relationships are most of it but youre comfortable with cold outreach especially to investing apps.
• Ownership of the details. URL approvals budget changes CPA moves placement and widget coordination: you run them yourself and nothing drops.
• You figure it out without being pushed and you pull in account management product media analytics compliance legal and finance to get it done.
• Fluency in performance economics including CPA CPL CPC and revenue share and the business acumen to use performance revenue and unit-economic data in a negotiation.
• Strong communication relationship building and negotiation across several partners and opportunities at once.

NICE TO HAVE

• Publisher experience or enough of the language to hold the conversation.
• Experience in wealth management financial advisory RIAs or advisor networks.
• Existing relationships with banks fintech companies investment platforms or related financial-services companies.
• Experience selling customer acquisition media lead generation or performance-based marketing.

WHAT GREAT LOOKS LIKE

• By month 6: youre directing internal traffic and connecting partner activity to media opportunity.
• Year one: larger budgets and stronger economics across existing partners new banks and investing advertisers live and the Head of Partnerships focused on our largest most strategic deals.
