About The Position

Launch Potato is seeking a hands-on Partnerships & Business Development expert to grow banking, deposits, and investing partners and bring on new partners. Approximately 70–80% of the role involves growing existing partners through larger budgets, better economics, and broader distribution; the remainder focuses on acquiring new partners, mostly through warm relationships, with outbound outreach particularly on the investing side. The role works alongside the Head of Partnerships, who focuses on the largest strategic partners. The Senior Account Manager will own operations for those strategic banking partners and fully own the operational and strategic relationships for other banking, deposits, and investing partners. The position includes connecting partner needs to placements across FinanceBuzz and Launch Potato’s publisher network, while helping shape the strategy for these categories. The Head of Partnerships will work closely with the new hire during the first 90 days, with the goal of independent ownership by about day 120. Launch Potato is a discovery and conversion company reaching tens of millions of people monthly through brands including FinanceBuzz, All About Cookies, and OnlyInYourState. It is profitable and bootstrapped, headquartered in South Florida, and has a remote-first team across 18 countries. The company emphasizes ownership, impact, direct and respectful feedback, and adapting to change. Compensation is a base salary of $150,000–$170,000, set according to level and expertise based on initial interviews, plus an annual bonus tied to company EBITDA and personal performance. There is no commission.
