Partnership Manager (California based)

About us

BetterMe — a global wellness ecosystem empowering millions to become better — physically, mentally, and emotionally. We build what makes people better and keep challenging ourselves to inspire others.

We are looking for a Partnership Manager with excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset who will perform all responsibilities only from within California.

Your impact

• Own end-to-end communication with new and existing partners — including payment providers — driving conversations forward and delivering agreed outcomes independently, without escalation.
• Proactively prospect and reach out to high-priority partners we have no direct network connection with, converting cold outreach into qualified meetings.
• Maintain warm, consistent relationships with strategically important partners who are not in the immediate pipeline, ensuring they feel valued and engaged for the long term.
• Build and expand BetterMe's payment partner network across the US and globally, identifying and onboarding new payment providers that support our growth.
• Serve as a local US presence for partner communications, enabling faster, more effective collaboration with American counterparts across time zones and business cultures.

About you

• 4+ years of experience in a business development or partnership management role within the tech or banking/financial services industry.
• Professional fluency in written and spoken English, including in a US business environment.
• Strong interpersonal skills: you know how to build trust, listen actively, and advocate for your position when it matters.
• Prior proven ability to manage multiple partner relationships simultaneously, prioritising effectively and delivering results with minimal oversight.
• Result-oriented mindset with a track record of converting outreach and negotiations into tangible business outcomes.
• Nice to have:
• Hands-on experience working with online payments, payment gateways, or payment infrastructure.
• Existing network within the US payments or fintech ecosystem.
• Experience navigating partnership cycles in a fast-paced, product-led company.
