  • Present franchise usage data, ROI analysis, and value creation narratives to C-level stakeholders to secure buy-in for scaling beyond beta and throughout the franchisee base - including building compelling case studies, crafting account plans, and driving store rollout commitments
  • Work cross-functionally with sales, marketing, customer success, and product/engineering to ensure Corporate Partnership efforts drive incremental ARR growth while managing for CAC, payback period, and churn
  • Support the enterprise sales motion by facilitating warm introductions and executive advocacy from corporate stakeholders to their largest franchisees
  • Build cross-functional brand strategy plans and manage execution end-to-end
  • Plan and attend private partner events and conferences to improve our relationship with key partners

Who You Are
  • 5+ years in account management or strategic partnerships - AM experience is required, but comfort with selling, commercial conversations, and moving deals forward is what sets the right candidate apart
  • You build lasting executive relationships and know how to move them forward commercially - you're not just a relationship keeper, you're a relationship driver
  • Comfortable operating at a company that's constantly innovating - you can speak confidently to where the product is going, not just where it is today and you've worked at a startup and know what that means
  • You push back on executives when it matters and can hold a room without losing the relationship
  • Innovative by nature - you follow the playbook and make it better, find new revenue channels, and build process where it doesn't exist yet
  • Actively uses AI tools in your workflow; picks up new technology fast and applies it practically
  • Organized, accountable, airtight on follow-through - complex initiatives don't slip when you own them
