Partnerships Acquisition Manager SaaS - Benelux

Your impact

You'll be based out of the Amsterdam office, with coverage mainly across the Netherlands and Belgium. You'll be building and closing relationships with SaaS and platform companies across the Benelux. You are data-driven and can independently manage a pipeline of partnership opportunities, solving for short-term impact while executing the long-term strategy. These tech partnerships are predominantly focused on embedded financial service solutions in among others the Hotel & Booking, Ticketing and Food Order verticals.

Software platforms are part of Mollie's future commercial strategy. One platform partnership can open the door to all of that platform's customers, so the work you do here has outsized impact. You'll combine outbound hunting with closing inbound opportunities, and stay close to each deal through integration and go live, until handover to the partner growth team.
