Partnerships Lead

Cross-border commerce doesn't scale on cold outbound alone. The fastest-growing merchants come through the people who already have their trust — their PSP, their orchestrator, their investors. Outpost needs someone to own that channel.

We operate as Merchant of Record, Tax of Record, and Customs of Record across 58+ jurisdictions — becoming the legally liable entity for payments, tax, and customs so our merchants don't have to be. We work alongside the payments stack, never against it. Stripe, Adyen, Checkout.com, Nuvei and Worldpay are partners, not competitors.

This is the first partnerships hire. You'll build the partner channel from scratch.

🧠 The Role

This is a Partnerships Lead role for someone who thinks commercially, moves like an operator, and can turn a network into a repeatable pipeline.

Partnerships are already our second-biggest source of customer flow, after the founders' organic outreach. Investor introductions are our single strongest channel — Netflix came through Checkout.com angels, iyzico through Speedinvest, Buyee through Sozo. Today that motion runs through the CEO. Your job is to own it, systematise it, and scale it.

You'll work directly with the CEO, engineering, and operations to turn PSPs, orchestrators, and investors into signed merchants — and to build the commercial scaffolding (MSAs, referral agreements, embedded-API terms) that doesn't exist yet. This isn't relationship-building for its own sake. Every partner earns its place in GMV.

🧗 What You'll Get

Yes, the work is intense. But in return, you'll get exposure most people wait 10–20 years to access.

You'll sit across the table from PSPs, acquiring banks, orchestrators, and top-tier fintech investors — owning strategic commercial decisions from day one. We won't handhold, but we'll coach you hard. If you're hungry, you'll leave with a world-class partnerships skillset and a network across the entire cross-border payments ecosystem.

🧩 What You'll Do

Own the partner channel:

• Build Outpost's partnerships function from scratch — pipeline, process, and commercial playbook

• Deepen the PSP and orchestrator relationships that refer us merchants (Checkout.com, Adyen, Nuvei, EBANX, Primer, Airwallex, GoCardless) and open the ones that don't yet
