About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Source and close QSR & F&B partnerships: Build and manage a pipeline across US coffee chains, bakeries, and QSR brands – from regional operators to national names. Drive outreach, run conversations, and close partnerships that deliver real customer value.
Sell a differentiated proposition: Engage partners with a non-traditional commercial model – enabling high-frequency customer acquisition through funded or co-funded offers. Clearly articulate the value and bring partners on the journey.
Drive volume and quality: Balance speed and selectivity – building meaningful partner coverage while maintaining a high bar for brand quality and customer experience.
Own onboarding and go-live: Take partners from signed agreement to live – ensuring a smooth, lightweight onboarding process and strong early performance.
Operate with pace and ownership: Manage multiple deals in parallel, maintain momentum, and consistently move partners from first conversation to live.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with program leadership, product, and operations to ensure partners launch successfully and the program continues to improve.
