Head of Partnerships

About Middesk: Middesk is building the data and intelligence infrastructure that helps businesses work together with confidence. We started by creating a comprehensive platform for understanding businesses, bringing together authoritative and proprietary data to help customers verify business identities, onboard customers faster, and manage risk throughout the customer lifecycle. Today, Middesk is used by more than 700 banks and fintechs, and in 2025 we verified more than 7 million companies. We've also expanded beyond business verification to help companies form, register, manage, and maintain their businesses, supporting more than 50,000 companies in setting up over 100,000 accounts required to hire employees, run payroll, and stay compliant. Middesk came out of Y Combinator, and is backed by Sequoia Capital, Accel, Insight Partners, and Canapi. We're proud to be named on the Forbes Fintech 50 and Best Startup Employers lists.

As the Head of Partnerships at Middesk, you will own and evolve our partnership function - a channel that today already directly or indirectly influences a third of Middesk’s revenue. Your mandate is to build on that strong foundation and take the function to the next level: a predictable, accelerating growth engine for the business. You will lead a team working on two fronts. The first is deepening our largest reseller relationships, developing them from strong channel revenue engines into active demand-generation and co-selling partnerships. The second is building new partnership types, including SIs, referral partners, AI-native platforms, and adjacent verticals, to extend our reach into segments and use cases we don't serve today. You will also be responsible for embedding partner strategy across Middesk's go-to-market motion, ensuring partners are a considered input to territory planning, pipeline generation, product launches, and competitive deal strategy rather than a channel operating separately from Sales. Partnerships is already material to how Middesk grows. This role decides how much more it can be. You will have executive sponsorship, an established partner base to build from, and real latitude to define what this function becomes at our next stage.

Turn our largest partnerships into growth engines Convert our largest partners from resellers into genuine co-sell partners. Build joint account mapping and planning, shared deal visibility, and joint go-to-market motions so Middesk is at the table with the customer rather than behind the partner. Convert existing partner goodwill into proactively sourced pipeline. Design the programs, incentives, and tracking that turn strong relationships into named-account referrals, not just resold channel revenue. Grow integration breadth and enablement across our most strategic partnerships,
