About the Role

As Partner Development Manager, you’ll be responsible for hunting, developing, and signing new reseller partners, with a clear focus on scaling our partner-led go-to-market strategy. You’ll own the full business development cycle, from identifying top-tier reseller targets to negotiating commercial agreements and activating onboarding.

This role is high-impact and strategic: You will shape the reseller partner ecosystem and work cross-functionally to ensure reseller success at scale.

What You'll Be Doing?

• Identify, target, and acquire new reseller partners (Payment processors, acquirers, PSPs/gateways).
• Build and manage a robust pipeline of reseller prospects using a combination of outbound prospecting, network relationships, and inbound interest.
• Develop tailored value propositions that align our fraud prevention platform with each reseller’s strategic goals and merchant services needs.
• Lead partner negotiations and deal structuring, ensuring mutual commercial success.
• Act as the reseller’s voice internally, coordinating with product, integrations, sales, and marketing to streamline onboarding and drive adoption.
• Collaborate with Partner Success and Sales Enablement to accelerate time-to-revenue.
• Track KPIs and report progress on pipeline, qualified opportunities, partner recruitment, and revenue contribution.
• Help launch and scale a transformative go-to-market model in the fraud prevention space.
• Work with a small, elite team with deep expertise in fraud, payments, and partner ecosystems.
• Make your mark - build the partner ecosystem from the ground up.

Qualifications

Must-Have Experience

• 5–8+ years in business development, partnerships, or channel sales in payments and/or fraud prevention.
• Proven success building reseller/channel partnerships - ideally with acquirers, processors, PSPs, ISOs, or similar.
• Deep understanding of how resellers operate - their incentives, GTM models, and commercial levers.
• Knowledge of fraud and risk solutions (e.g., chargebacks, risk scoring, 3DS, etc.) and how they fit into the payments stack.
• Strong negotiation skills with a track record of closing complex, high-value deals.
• Entrepreneurial mindset - comfortable working autonomously, building from zero, and iterating fast.

Bonus Points

• Previous experience at a fraud solution provider.
• Existing network in the acquirer/PSP ecosystem.
• Exposure to multi-tenant SaaS platforms or partner onboarding tools.
