The Partnerships team plays a pivotal role in that vision, identifying and cultivating strategic collaborations that introduce Mercury to new audiences and unlock meaningful value for our users.

About the Team

We’re a small but mighty group that obsesses over how great partnerships can accelerate growth, enhance our product offering, and delight customers in unexpected ways. We work closely with product, marketing, sales, and legal to ensure our partnerships aren’t just signed — they’re successful. This is a high-impact team with a clear mandate: unlock the next era of business growth at Mercury.

What You’ll Do:

• Launch new programs from scratch: You’ll take a channel from concept to reality — shaping the strategy, identifying the right partners, and bringing new initiatives to life. You’ll be able to point to similar 0–1 programs you’ve led, and the lessons you’ve carried forward.
• Own the end-to-end partnership lifecycle: From initial outreach to deal structuring, negotiation, onboarding, and long-term growth — you’ll be at the center of it all. You’ll build executive-level relationships with key partners and craft thoughtful plans for co-marketing, enablement, and business planning.
• Think strategically, act practically: You’ll build channel strategies rooted in research, data, and industry insight — identifying where we have the strongest right to win and the value props that will set us apart.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: You’ll work closely with product, engineering, marketing, and analytics to make sure our partnerships translate into differentiated experiences and scalable outcomes. Whether it’s a new API integration or a partner-specific product incentive, you’ll be the connective tissue that brings it together.
• Use data to inform and adapt: You know which metrics matter, how to track them, and what to do when they change. Your approach to structuring partnerships is grounded in what moves the needle, and your instincts are backed by data.
• Be a product advocate: You understand how Mercury’s platform can integrate with a wide range of partners — and you’re comfortable working with [API Integration Placeholder].
