About The Position

Launch Potato is hiring a hands-on partnerships and business development professional to grow banking, deposits, and investing partners and bring on new partners. The role is primarily focused on expanding existing relationships—approximately 70 to 80 percent of the work—including growing budgets, improving economics, and broadening distribution. The remaining work involves new business, largely through warm relationships, with outbound prospecting particularly for investing partners. The Senior Account Manager works alongside the Head of Partnerships, who focuses on the largest strategic partners. The role owns operations for those strategic banking partners and has full operational and strategic ownership of other banking, deposits, and investing partners. The person will connect partner goals to placements across FinanceBuzz and Launch Potato’s publisher network, and will help shape the strategy for these categories. The first 90 days involve learning the partner book alongside the Head of Partnerships and running operations for assigned partners, with the goal of working independently by about day 120. By six months, the role is expected to direct internal resources and connect partner activity to media opportunities. By the end of year one, success includes growing budgets and economics with existing partners, launching new bank and investing advertisers, and enabling the Head of Partnerships to focus on the largest strategic deals. The position offers a base salary of $150,000 to $170,000, determined by level and expertise based on initial interviews, plus an annual bonus based on company EBITDA and personal performance. There is no commission.
