Partner Growth Manager

Partner Growth Manager

Spreedly is the world's leading Open Payments Platform. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Durham, NC, the company gives mid-market and enterprise businesses the infrastructure to connect to any payment gateway, processor, or fraud tool through a single API. The platform is vendor-agnostic by design, meaning customers are never locked into a single provider and never need to rebuild their payments stack to access new capabilities.

The core business problem Spreedly solves is real and costly: global merchants face a fragmented payments ecosystem, where every new market, payment method, or fraud tool typically requires a separate, time-consuming integration. Spreedly eliminates that complexity, enabling companies to route transactions intelligently, secure cardholder data, prevent fraud, and expand into new markets without heavy engineering overhead.

The Partner Growth Manager (PGM) is responsible for driving revenue growth through Spreedly's strategic partner ecosystem. This role focuses on strengthening relationships with Spreedly's premier and standard partners while identifying and executing opportunities to generate new business together.

The PGM works closely with Sales to co-sell into shared prospects and customers, expand existing partner relationships, and accelerate partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue.

Success in this role requires a strong commercial mindset, the ability to build trusted partner relationships, and a track record of turning partnerships into measurable business outcomes.

Responsibilities:

• Own growth within a portfolio of strategic partners by identifying and executing opportunities to generate partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue
• Partner with Spreedly Sales to co-sell into shared prospects and customers, positioning Spreedly as a key part of the partner's solution ecosystem
• Identify joint customer opportunities with partners and coordinate pipeline development activities
• Build and maintain joint account plans with strategic partners to expand revenue within existing relationships
• Strengthen relationships with Spreedly's premier and standard partners to expand collaboration across sales, product, and GTM teams
• Identify opportunities to expand Spreedly's presence within partner organizations (new teams, regions, or product integrations)
• Define and manage key growth metrics; track, analyze, and report on partner performance
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, CS, and Sales to deliver growth campaigns and strategic initiatives
• Monitor partner health and proactively manage performance risks or opportunity gaps
• Lead internal coordination for partner launches, growth initiatives, and operational execution
• Represent Spreedly at partner events and build visibility within their networks

Requirements:

• 5+ years in partner management, partner sales, business development, or strategic partnerships roles
• Prior experience in a payments technology or fintech environment
• Proven track record in designing and executing partner growth plans with measurable outcomes
• Experience in co-selling with partners or channel ecosystems
• Proven track record of generating revenue through strategic partnerships
• Ability to work closely with Sales teams to build and close joint pipeline
• Strong business acumen and strategic thinking, with comfort operating autonomously
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, including the ability to simplify complex topics
• Demonstrated ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners
• Proficient in CRM and reporting tools (Salesforce preferred); strong with data and performance tracking
• Ability to travel up to 25% (US/UK partner travel expected)

Spreedly provides an open payments platform. The platform's connectivity provides payments performance. Key products and services include:

Connect — A unified API that integrates with hundreds of payment gateways, processors, and alternative payment methods worldwide, including digital wallets. Merchants access the global payments ecosystem through one connection. Vault — A PCI-compliant secure repository for payment methods. Merchants store card data once and reuse it across any payment service, reducing PCI scope and protecting cardholder data at scale. Optimize — Workflow-driven routing and retry logic that directs each transaction to the best-performing gateway in real time. On average, 7.9% of failed transactions succeed immediately when retried on a secondary gateway. This is where merchants recover lost revenue and increase authorization success rates. Protect — A flexible fraud and authentication layer, incorporating advanced fraud tools and 3DS. Following Spreedly's acquisition of Dodgeball in September 2025, fraud orchestration and payment optimization now operate within the same platform. Resolve — Centralized management and reporting that reduces operational silos, strengthens security, and improves billing control across a merchant's entire payment operation.

Due to the sensitive nature of what Spreedly does - handling payment data - finalist candidates must complete a successful background and reference check.

At this time Spreedly is unable to provide sponsorship for employment, and we are not set up to support remote employees who reside in New York. In order to be considered for employment, applicants must be currently legally authorized to work in the job location country and not require future sponsorship in order to continue working in that country.
