Partnerships Manager

Clearco is the capital partner that thinks like a founder. We provide fast, flexible, and founder-first funding designed to scale with momentum. With over $3 billion deployed to 10,000+ brands, our performance-driven model delivers competitive terms, capped weekly repayments, and access to capital in as little as 24 hours. There’s no dilution, no personal guarantees, and no friction. Partnerships drive how we scale. We are building a lean, high-performance engine to expand our ecosystem and open up new avenues for growth. To do this, we need more than a relationship manager; we need a high-agency operator who views partnerships as a predictable revenue engine. We are looking for a mission-driven builder who completely owns the partner lifecycle from first touch to active revenue contribution. You are someone who thrives in a fast-paced, remote-first environment that offers the autonomy to build without layers of permission.

PORTFOLIO GROWTH & OPERATIONS - Own partner relationships and drive regular performance reviews focused on targets, impact, and revenue goals. - Create and execute partner plans that yield measurable pipeline and revenue contribution. - Manage smooth lead routing and feedback loops with the Account Executive team to ensure post-handoff follow-through.
