Description
Our Mission
We’re not your average benefits platform – we’re the driving force that uplifts people’s lives. Our technology connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.
Our mission is clear: to build a world where everything works at its best, ensuring every employee gets the support they need to thrive—both at work and beyond.
Your Mission
As a Strategic Partnerships Lead at Ben, you'll be one of the key driving forces behind our revenue growth, with a strong focus on building and managing the relationships with our most strategic partners who bundle Ben with their financial services, payroll, and benefits offerings.
This is a player/coach role. Reporting to our VP of Benefit Design & Partnerships, you'll own our partnership commercial execution, where you will own: pipeline development, joint account planning, quarterly business reviews, GTM campaigns, driving deals from inception through to conversion, and scaling what is one of our most important strategic pillars for the business.
If you've spent your career in the benefits industry, and want to prove you can drive commercial outcomes at scale - or you've built partnerships in SaaS and want to apply that discipline to an industry you understand deeply - this is the role for you!
