Growth and Partnership Manager

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth fintech at a pivotal moment. As Growth & Partnerships Manager, you'll sit at the heart of our commercial engine - owning day-to-day relationships with our lending and distribution partners while building out the next generation of growth initiatives.

Initially most of your time will be dedicated to partner relationship management: keeping our partners close, informed, and performing. The rest of your time will be spent identifying and driving new growth levers, from Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) to channels we haven't explored yet. Over time, that balance will evolve as the business scales.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to be told what to do. It's for someone who spots a gap and fills it before anyone asks.

What you'll be doing

• Own the day-to-day relationships with Abound's partner network, acting as their primary point of contact and ensuring they're set up to perform
• Track, report on and interpret partner performance metrics obsessively - you should be able to recite our key numbers at any moment
• Identify issues before they become problems and resolve them proactively, working cross-functionally with product, credit and operations
• Lead on new growth initiatives including GEO, testing new acquisition channels and building the playbook for scalable growth
• Support the development of our broader partnerships and growth strategy, contributing to how we think about the commercial roadmap

Who you are

• 1–3 years of experience in consulting, investment banking, a high-growth startup or a similarly demanding, fast-paced environment - we care more about ceiling than CV
• Genuinely hungry: you're not here to do the minimum, you're here to make your mark
• Deeply numerate: you're at home in spreadsheets, comfortable with ambiguity, and can turn data into a clear story
• A natural relationship builder: people trust you quickly and you always follow through
• Self-directed: you don't wait to be managed, you manage yourself
• Strategically minded: you can zoom out and connect the dots, even when you're deep in the weeds
