About the role

Director of Strategic Partnerships Full-time, in office

About the Company: A well-funded specialty finance firm in Aventura that funds growing businesses. Most deals today run around $500K, driven by digital ads and an in-house sales team. Now the company is moving upmarket to $1M+ deals - and those don't come from ads. They come from relationships. That's where you come in.

About the Role: This is a new seat, and you'll build it from scratch. You'll create and own a referral network of accountants, M&A advisors, commercial bankers and investment bankers - the people who hear first when a business needs capital. Your job is to be the person they call. You'll also be the first filter on every deal that comes through your channel. You'll know enough about credit to spot a good deal in one conversation and kill a bad one before it takes up a rep's week.

What You'll Do:

Find, meet and win over referral partners: CPAs, M&A advisors, bankers, IBs and business brokers
Turn one-off introductions into partners who send deals month after month
Screen incoming deals: revenue, cash flow, existing positions, red flags. Pass the good ones to the funding team with a clear read
Track your pipeline and partner activity so you know which relationships produce funded deals
Work with sales and underwriting to close the deals your channel brings inHelp shape how the company goes after larger deals as the channel grows

Who You Are:

You've built relationships that produce business, and you'd rather be at a lunch with a CPA than behind a spreadsheet
You understand credit: you can read a bank statement, follow a P&L and tell a real deal from a stretch
You're self-directed. Nobody will hand you a lead list. You build the list
Backgrounds That FitBank credit analysts who moved into relationship management
Partnerships or channel leads at a business-funding, specialty finance or small-business lending company, who already have referral relationships
Junior investment bankers or accountants who know the numbers and want to be in front of clients
Compensation$100K base
Commission paid on every funded deal from your channel, uncapped
The bigger the network you build, the more you earn. In $1M+ deals, one good partner can be worth a lot

Big upside: the base is the floor, not the ceiling. Commission on $1M+ funded deals means a strong partner network can take total earnings well past the base - there's no cap on what you can make. Why This Role A funded company with a proven engine and a clear plan to go upmarket, a new channel that's yours to build, and pay tied directly to what you bring in. If you've been the person bankers and accountants trust, and you want to get paid for it, let's talk.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
