高级战略合作伙伴经理 - 企业级
Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager - Enterprise
Mercury战略合作伙伴关系团队通过高影响力的合作伙伴关系推动客户增长、产品扩展和战略优势。我们在初创生态系统中建立并管理合作伙伴关系：会计事务所、风险投资公司、投资者、电商平台合作伙伴、注册机构、平台和金融机构。我们与产品、市场拓展、财务、法务、风控和运营团队跨职能合作，以解锁新的分销渠道，扩展产品功能，并巩固Mercury作为有抱负公司首选金融平台的地位。
职位描述：
这是一个在Mercury从零开始打造全新事物的机会。
我们的团队正在快速扩张，目前大部分的合作伙伴业务都是通过会计事务所、风险投资公司、加速器和注册机构自下而上建立的。这种模式有效。但下一阶段将有所不同：大规模平台交易、嵌入式金融服务安排以及分销合作伙伴关系，通过一份签署的协议让Mercury面向成千上万家企业。
这是一个纯粹的猎手角色。你将负责Mercury最雄心勃勃的企业和平台目标，并以能创造真正分销杠杆的交易来衡量你的表现。优秀的候选人会将Mercury作为金融层嵌入到平台、工具和生态系统中，这些平台已经被成千上万或数百万家企业使用。你将找到合适的对象，进入决策圈，并设计超越简单推荐或联合营销安排的交易：嵌入式金融服务结构、深度API集成以及双方此前从未尝试过的分销安排。
你将做的事情：
赢得平台分销交易
- 识别、定位并追求Mercury可触及范围内的最高价值合作伙伴机会：涵盖电商（Shopify）、社交销售（TikTok、Meta）、法律（Clio）、生产力（Google）等领域的行业领导者，然后让Mercury成为它们背后的金融层。
- 签署交易，使Mercury原生嵌入到一个平台上，通过一份签署的协议触达成千上万潜在客户。
- 负责与高级执行官和高管层面的联络与关系发展，利用你已有的人脉快速打开新门路。
- 推动交易的全流程：从最初的接触和商业方案制定，到条款谈判、法律签约和集成。

About Strategic Partnerships at Mercury:
The Strategic Partnerships team drives customer growth, product expansion, and strategic advantage through high-impact partner relationships. We build and manage partnerships across the startup ecosystem: accounting firms, VCs, investors, ecommerce partners, incorporators, platforms, and financial institutions. We work cross-functionally with Product, GTM, Finance, Legal, Risk, and Operations to unlock new distribution channels, expand product capabilities, and strengthen Mercury's position as the leading financial platform for ambitious companies.
About the Role:
This is a ground-floor opportunity to build something that doesn't exist yet at Mercury.
Our team is growing fast and we've built most of our partnerships business bottom-up through accounting firms, VCs, accelerators, and incorporators. That motion works. But the next chapter is different: large-scale platform deals, embedded finance arrangements, and distribution partnerships that put Mercury in front of thousands of businesses through a single signed agreement.
This is a pure hunter role. You'll own Mercury's most ambitious enterprise and platform targets and be measured on deals that create real distribution leverage. The best ones will embed Mercury as the financial layer inside platforms, tools, and ecosystems that thousands or millions of businesses already use. You'll find the right targets, get yourself in the room, and architect deals that go well beyond a simple referral or co-marketing arrangement: embedded finance structures, deep API integrations, and distribution arrangements that neither side has done before.
What You'll Do:
Win platform-distribution deals
- Identify, target, and pursue the highest-leverage partnership opportunities in Mercury's addressable universe: category leaders across ecommerce (Shopify), social selling (TikTok, Meta), legal (Clio), productivity (Google), and any platform where ambitious businesses already live, then make Mercury the financial layer underneath them.
- Close deals where Mercury becomes natively embedded in a platform, reaching thousands of potential customers through a single signed agreement.
- Own outreach and relationship development at the senior executive and C-suite level, leveraging your existing network to open doors and build new ones fast
- Drive deals through the full lifecycle: from initial outreach and business case development through term negotiation, legal close, integration scoping, and launch
Structure first-of-a-kind deals
- Architect bespoke partnership structures: embedded finance arrangements, deep API integrations, co-distribution models, and joint product experiences that create strategic lock-in and measurable impact
- Leverage Mercury's full product suite (banking,* payments, cards, APIs, MCP, CLI tooling) as strategic currency in negotiations, matching the right capabilities to each partner's specific needs
- Develop and pressure-test the business case for each partnership, modeling deal economics and aligning cross-functional stakeholders at Mercury
Own the channel from day one
- You will build Mercury's enterprise partnerships motion from scratch, with full ownership over strategy, targeting, deal structure, and execution.
- Define the playbook: who we pursue, how we position, how we negotiate, and what success looks like a year from now
- Have a direct line to Mercury's leadership team and cross-functional leadership.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and GTM to design the infrastructure needed to support large, complex partner integrations
What We're Looking For:
- 8-10+ years of experience in strategic partnerships, business development, or enterprise sales including meaningful time at a high-growth technology or similar company
- A track record of closing platform-scale deals. You've closed agreements that unlocked distribution at scale, embedding your product into a platform, ecosystem, or distribution channel that reached far more customers than a direct sales motion ever could.
- An existing network you can activate immediately. Your relationships are in the right places. You have been actively involved in your industry - speaking at conferences, events, and are regarded as a thought leader in your space.
- Experience at a high-growth, category-defining technology company. You know what it means to move fast, operate with limited resources, and close deals before the window closes.
- Deep experience structuring embedded or API-driven deals. You understand how technical integrations create commercial moats, and you know how to negotiate them
- Strong commercial and financial fluency. You can model deal economics, structure complex incentive arrangements, and align on terms with sophisticated counterparts
- The ability to operate in ambiguity and build from scratch. Mercury has not had a dedicated enterprise partnerships function. You're energized by this ground floor opportunity and the chance to build it from scratch.
- Technical credibility. You don't need to write code, but you can hold a substantive conversation about APIs, integration architecture, and what it means to embed financial infrastructure into a third-party platform
- Strong plus: experience in fintech, payments, embedded finance, or AI-native products
