Director, Strategic Partnerships (New Verticals)

<div class="content-intro"><p>Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?</p></div><h3><strong>About the role</strong></h3> <p>We’re hiring a Director, Strategic Partnerships (New Verticals) to own and scale the most critical function in our expansion: successfully launching new enterprise partnerships, managing them as strategic accounts, and driving adoption and revenue growth alongside our partners. This role blends the structured problem-solving of a top-tier strategy consultant with the relationship depth of a world-class account leader - someone who can take a newly signed deal from contract close to first transaction, then work shoulder-to-shoulder with partner stakeholders to build it into a durable, growing revenue stream.</p> <p>You’ll be the single-threaded owner of partner success and commercial performance for our highest-stakes new vertical deals. Externally, you’ll embed deeply with partner organizations—building relationships with their executives, product leaders, and GTM teams to drive joint adoption, remove friction, and expand the value of the integration over time. Internally, you’ll work across Product, Engineering, Design, Analytics, Sales, and Marketing to marshal Flex’s resources behind partner outcomes. As you prove the model, you’ll hire, develop, and scale a team of strategic account leaders to extend this capability across Flex’s growing portfolio of partnerships.</p> <h3><strong>What you'll do</strong><strong><br></strong></h3> <h4><strong>Launch Execution &amp; Partner Onboarding</strong></h4> <ul> <li>Own launch success end-to-end—from deal close through first transaction—by leading joint planning with partner product, engineering, GTM, and operations stakeholders to align on milestones, timelines, and shared success criteria</li> <li>&nbsp;Drive technical integration, operational readiness, and go-live execution while coordinating across Flex’s Product, Engineering, Design, Analytics, Legal, Finance, and GTM teams to remove blockers</li> <li>&nbsp;Identify execution risks early on both sides of the partnership and resolve them before they impact launch quality or timeline&l
