Sr Partner Sales Manager – Fintech at Interfaceai

Banking is being reimagined—and customers expect every interaction to be easy, personal, and instant. We are building a universal banking assistant that millions of U.S. consumers can use to transact across all financial institutions and, over time, autonomously drive their financial goals. Powered by our proprietary BankGPT platform, this assistant is positioned to displace age-old legacy systems within financial institutions and own the end-to-end CX stack, unlocking a $200B opportunity and potentially replacing multiple publicly traded companies. Ultimately, our mission is to drive financial well-being for millions of consumers. With over two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, 50% holding less than $500 in savings, and only 17% financially literate, we aim to put financial well-being on autopilot to help solve this problem. Sr Partner Sales Manager – Fintech Reporting directly to Head of Partnerships, Pervez Alam, you will create and grow new ecosystem integration partnerships while driving joint go-to-market strategies with fintech and technology companies that sell into credit unions and community financial institutions. You will work closely with digital banking vendors, core providers (e.g., Jack Henry, Fiserv, FIS), payments platforms (e.g., Repay, Paymentus, Swivel/SWBC), and complementary fintech players (e.g., Bankjoy, Alkami, Q2, Narmi, MeridianLink) to position interface.ai as a preferred AI partner across the banking ecosystem. This is a senior business development role with a sales orientation and a longer strategic horizon—you are building partnerships that will drive revenue for years to come. Key Responsibilities ● Identify, source, and create new ecosystem integration partnerships with fintech and technology companies serving credit unions and community financial institutions, expanding interface.ai’s partner network and addressable market. ● Develop and execute joint go-to-market strategies with technology partners across payments, bill pay, digital account opening, lending, and other fintech verticals to drive mutual pipeline and revenue. ● Build and manage a portfolio of fintech integration partnerships with players such as Repay, Jack Henry (iPay, Symitar), Paymentus, Alkami, Q2, Narmi, MeridianLink, Bankjoy, and similar technology vendors to generate new co-sell and referral business opportunities. ● Drive technical and commercial integration conversations with partner product and engineering teams, ensuring interface.ai’s AI solutions are natively embedded or tightly integrated within partner platforms. ● Collaborate with internal sales teams to align on partner pipeline progression, deal attribution, and co-selling strategy across the fintech partner ecosystem. ● Represent interface.ai at fintech conferences, banking industry events (e.g., ICBA, America’s Credit Unions, Fintech Meetup, CU Water Cooler), and partner summits to build relationships and generate partner-sourced pipeline. ● Lead partner negotiations, deal structuring, and long-term strategic alignment with cross- functional leadership, contributing to the overall fintech partnership strategy and roadmap. Requirements ● 8+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, or channel sales, with 5+ years working within the fintech industry ecosystem serving credit unions and community financial institutions. ● Strong sales orientation with a proven track record of creating new partnerships from scratch and building them into revenue-generating programs—this is a senior business development role, not a quota-carrying sales position. ● Deep domain expertise in the CU/community FI technology landscape, including direct experience with core providers (Jack Henry, Fiserv, FIS), digital banking platforms (Alkami, Q2, Narmi), payments processors, and lending technology vendors. ● Comes from a fintech ecosystem company or has significant experience working with technology companies that sell into credit unions and community banks. ● Demonstrated ability to create integration partnerships and build ecosystem alliances—not just manage existing ones—with measurable results in pipeline creation and revenue influence. ● Strong commercial acumen with experience negotiating technology partnership agreements, API/integration licensing terms, and joint GTM alignment. ● A self-starter mindset with the ability to build programs from scratch and thrive in a fast- paced, entrepreneurial environment. ● Outstanding communication, presentation, and organizational skills. ● Comfort working independently and collaboratively in a remote-first environment. ● Skill in using prompt engineering techniques to enhance productivity, drive efficiency, and decision-making with generative AI tools.
