Sobre este puesto de Senior Account Executive, Strategic Partnerships & Affiliates en Melio
Senior Account Executive, Strategic Partnerships & Affiliates
Location: Hybrid in New York City (3 day in-office requirement)
Qualifications:
- 4+ years of sales or partnership experience, ideally in a role where you had to build a book of business from scratch.
- A "Hunter-Farmer" Hybrid: You are fearless when cold calling potential partners to pitch a revenue-share opportunity, but you also possess the empathy and organization to nurture those relationships into a productive community over time.
- Thrives in Ambiguity: You don’t need a playbook—you want to write it. You are comfortable testing new pitches, identifying new vertical targets (e.g., insurance, logistics consultants), and pivoting quickly based on what works.
- Creative & Scrappy: You can see the angle that others miss. You understand how to frame a value proposition not just to a user, but to a partner looking to monetize their influence.
- Community Builder Mindset: You understand that signing a partner is just day one. You know how to keep affiliates engaged, excited, and producing leads through constant communication and value-add interactions.
- Genuinely Curious about Business Models: You need to understand how our partners make money (e.g., how a Credit Card Points Consultant operates) to effectively pitch how Melio fits into their ecosystem.
- Proficiency in SalesForce, Outreach.io, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
A day in the life and how you’ll make an impact:
Identify & Recruit (The Hunt)
- Prospect and Cold Call: You will aggressively hunt for high-leverage affiliates—think Credit Card Points Consultants, Insurance Brokers who don't accept cards, or Industry-Specific Consultants.
- Pitch the "Business in a Box": You aren't just selling software; you are selling a revenue stream. You will convince these partners that referring their high-spend clients to Melio is a lucrative way to monetize their existing relationships through our Gross Profit revenue share model.
- Creative Sourcing: You will experiment with different verticals to find the "hidden gems"—partners who have trusted access to UHV companies but haven't monetized that influence yet.
Onboard & Enable (The Setup)
- White-Glove Onboarding: Once a partner says "yes," you ensure they (and their clients) are set up for success. You will help them identify the low-hanging fruit in their book of business to get their first wins on the board quickly.
- Technical & Sales Enablement: Teach partners how to spot a Melio opportunity and how to pitch it to their clients.
Community Management & Nurture (The Flywheel)
- Drive Portfolio Adoption: You will manage your book of affiliates like a community manager. Your goal is to keep them active, sending leads, and viewing Melio as a significant revenue driver for their business.
- Relationship Moats: Build deep, personal relationships with your partners so that Melio remains their exclusive referral of choice.
Feedback Loop: Since this is a new motion, you will constantly feed insights back to growth and marketing teams. What segments provide deep opportunities for UHV? What incentives drive the most behavior?
