You will manage pricing and engagement commercials while building scaled, repeatable joint offerings that unlock new routes to market.

The Opportunity :

Partner Strategy & Ecosystem

• Build and maintain executive relationships at partners; negotiate and govern commercial frameworks (MSA, reseller/agency, referral, OEM/embedded, marketplace listings).

Commercials & Pricing

• Drive approval processes for bespoke deals and strategic agreements; ensure compliance with UST finance and commercial policies.

Go‑to‑Market & Revenue

• Launch joint go‑to‑market with priority partners (solution blueprints, sales plays, collateral, enablement, demand programs) and orchestrate co‑sell with UST/partner field teams.
• Own partner‑sourced and partner‑influenced pipeline; forecast accurately and remove execution blockers across presales, delivery and operations.

Operations & Governance

• Establish partnership operating rhythms (QBRs, joint business plans, scorecards); track certifications, competencies, and marketplace hygiene.
• Stand up a lean Partnerships PMO (process, tooling, dashboards) and a deal‑desk cadence with Finance/Legal.

What you need :

Education & Experience

• 7+ years in Partnerships/Alliances and Commercial Management within Financial Services, Payments, or FinTech; track record running multi‑partner GTM and complex commercial negotiations.
• Proven experience building with partners and scaling co‑sell programs and marketplace strategies.
• Strong pricing, deal desk and margin ownership; familiarity with enterprise SaaS/product commercialization.
• Executive presence; ability to influence C‑level stakeholders across partners and clients.
• Comfortable with modern FS topics (Open Banking/Open Finance, payments modernization, compliance) and enterprise technology stacks.

We’re proud to embrace the same values that have shaped UST since the beginning. Since day one, we’ve been building enduring relationships and a culture of integrity. And today, it's those same values that are inspiring us to encourage innovation from everyone, to champion diversity and inclusion, and to place people at the centre of everything we do.
