Members access exclusive benefits across travel, lifestyle, and business services, built through 15+ years of strategic partnerships. The company operates lean, remains profitable, and continues to grow.

Role Overview

The Director of Channel Sales & Partnerships leads the development and management of distribution partnerships to drive new member acquisition. This senior B2B sales leader operates as a one-person team, handling the full sales cycle from sourcing to closing and managing post-contract relationships. The position reports to the SVP of Business & Strategy and the VP of Partnerships & Experiences, based in New York City.

Channel partnerships are a key, largely untapped growth area. The focus is on brands that serve an affluent, professional audience. These partners offer their customers a complimentary FoundersCard membership, with the goal of converting them to paid subscribers.

What You Will Do

  • Build and manage an outbound pipeline targeting over 50 strategic partners in travel, fintech, SaaS, professional services, and premium consumer brands.
  • Initiate cold outreach and leverage warm introductions to identify new partnership opportunities.
  • Navigate long, complex B2B sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders and enterprise decision-makers.
  • Engage with senior contacts (such as Heads of Partnerships, VPs of Member Benefits, CROs) and drive deals from first contact through closure.
  • Present the FoundersCard value proposition in a way that matches partner goals for retention, revenue, engagement, and positioning.
  • Structure and negotiate commercial agreements, including revenue sharing, per-member pricing, co-marketing, and hybrid models.
  • Oversee the deal lifecycle: prospecting, pipeline management, pitching, negotiation, and contract execution.
  • Maintain and grow partner relationships after closing, including reporting, renewals, and exploring expansion opportunities.
  • Keep a disciplined pipeline with accurate forecasting of deal stages, expected member volume, and revenue impact.

Who You Are

  • 5–10 years of B2B sales, business development, or strategic partnerships experience, ideally in multi-stakeholder settings.

Compensation

Base salary ranges from $125,000 to $175,000, with additional commission potential. Total compensation depends on experience and performance.
