About The Position

Launch Potato is seeking a hands-on partnerships and business development professional to grow existing banking, deposits, and investing partnerships and acquire new partners. Approximately 70–80% of the role focuses on growing existing partners through larger budgets, improved economics, and broader distribution; the remaining work focuses on new partnerships, primarily warm opportunities, with outreach to prospective investing partners. The role works alongside the Head of Partnerships, who focuses on the largest strategic partners. The Senior Account Manager owns operations for those strategic banking partners and owns other banking, deposits, and investing partners both operationally and strategically. The position is responsible for growing relationships rather than simply servicing accounts, and connects partner goals to placements across FinanceBuzz and Launch Potato’s publisher network. The Head of Partnerships works closely with the hire during the first 90 days, with the goal of the hire operating independently by about day 120. The role offers direct exposure to senior leadership and an opportunity to shape strategy in these categories. Launch Potato is a profitable, bootstrapped discovery and conversion company whose brands include FinanceBuzz, All About Cookies, and OnlyInYourState. It reaches tens of millions of people monthly and has a remote-first team across 18 countries, with headquarters in South Florida. Success includes learning the partner portfolio and running partner operations during the first 90 days; independently managing assigned partners by about day 120; directing internal work and connecting partner activity to media opportunities by month six; and, in year one, growing existing partner budgets and economics, launching new bank and investing advertisers, and enabling the Head of Partnerships to focus on the largest strategic deals. Compensation is a base salary of $150,000–$170,000, based on level and expertise, plus an annual bonus tied to company EBITDA and personal performance. There is no commission.
