Partnerships Account Executive

Baselane

76d • $130,000 - $140,000

About The Position

The Partnerships team is one of Baselane’s top strategic growth initiatives, with direct executive sponsorship and visibility. We’re building partnerships with the platforms, associations, and service providers that real estate investors trust most, and turning those relationships into a scalable growth engine. We’re hiring our first Partnerships Account Executive (PAE) to launch and scale strategic and channel partnerships. You’ll own the entire partner lifecycle — sourcing, pitching, negotiating, implementing, and growing relationships that directly drive revenue and customer acquisition. This role sits at the intersection of sales, business development, and account management, offering both strategic influence and hands-on execution. You’ll collaborate closely with internal teams — including Product, Marketing, and Engineering — and with external executives to bring integrations and co-marketing programs to life. You’ll constantly optimize performance through data, experimentation, and structured processes, ensuring each partnership delivers measurable impact. As one of the earliest hires on the Partnerships team, you won’t just close deals — you’ll define what partnership excellence looks like at Baselane, build repeatable playbooks, and establish the systems and frameworks that will scale Baselane’s next stage of growth. This is a role for a builder who wants to own a critical growth pillar.

Requirements

• 4–7 years of experience in partnerships, business development, or B2B SaaS/fintech sales with a proven record of driving revenue and adoption.
• A strategic and systems thinker who can design repeatable processes, frameworks, and go-to-market motions to scale partnership impact.
• Proven ability to manage the full partner lifecycle — from pipeline building and negotiation to implementation and post-launch optimization.
• Proven ability to structure, negotiate, and close complex commercial agreements with clear ROI outcomes.
• Strong executive presence and communication skills; comfortable interfacing with and influencing C-suite and senior leadership at partner organizations.
• Technically fluent: able to collaborate with Product and Engineering teams on API-based integrations, understand basic data flows, and translate business needs into implementation requirements.
• Data-driven operator who uses analytics to evaluate partner performance, identify growth levers, and make evidence-based recommendations.
• Exceptional relationship builder and storyteller who can inspire partners and align internal stakeholders around shared outcomes.
• Entrepreneurial and resourceful: thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments, building structure and clarity amid ambiguity.
• Passionate about creating long-term value for partners and acting as their advocate across Product, Marketing, and Strategy teams.

• Quarterback implementation and launch: once a deal is signed, lead cross-functional coordination across Product, Marketing, Engineering, and Operations to ensure smooth integrations, clear timelines, and on-time go-lives.
• Drive launch and post-launch success: execute co-marketing and partner enablement (playbooks, FAQs, training), monitor KPIs, run QBRs, and identify opportunities to expand scope and deepen collaboration.
