About the role

This is a role for an exceptional product partnerships operator. The mandate is to unlock enterprise value in direct support of Product, Risk, and Finance strategic priorities: building the deepest understanding at Flex of the capability landscape — who does what, at what economics, and where the market is headed — and converting that insight into new capabilities, new commercial relationships, and best-in-class terms on the agreements that drive Flex's unit economics.

What they're looking for

  • 12+ years of experience spanning product partnerships, business development, product management, or corporate development — ideally in fintech, payments, credit, or platform technology companies
  • A track record of negotiating complex agreements with networks, processors, bureaus, financial institutions, or major data providers, and carrying them through integration and launch to measurable P&L impact
  • A proven team builder and leader — you have hired, developed, and led high-performing teams, and you're equally effective operating hands-on as a function of one while the team takes shape
  • Commercially creative with strong financial rigor: comfortable building the model, stress-testing the assumptions, and defending it to a CFO
  • An exceptional relationship-builder with a track record of owning C-suite and senior executive relationships at strategic partners — and converting that trust into better terms, earlier access, and long-term growth
  • Thrive in ambiguity and high-velocity environments, equally strong at strategic thinking and hands-on execution
More about this role

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience.

Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?
