About The Position

At Liberis, our mission is to empower small and medium-sized businesses by removing finance as a friction to growth, delivering contextual, embedded financial solutions to support merchants at every stage of their business lifecycle.
The Role
Partner Managers at Liberis are responsible for owning and growing a portfolio of strategic embedded finance partners. The role is equal parts relationship management, growth-oriented, product expansion, and operational excellence with the goal to drive revenue and commercial value for the relationship.
As a Partner Manager, you will act as the primary point of contact for each partner - ensuring they deliver strong merchant engagement, achieve revenue goals, maintain operational quality, and expand the partnership into new product lines and merchant segments. You will strive to maximize the value of each partnership by driving sustainable, long-term commercial performance across the full merchant lifecycle, not just initial originations.
