Senior Manager, Partnerships Strategy & Operations
Flex
Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2025 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

Flex is seeking an ambitious, results-driven Senior Manager, Partnerships Strategy and Operations, to own the strategy, systems and insights that accelerate user adoption and growth across all of our partnership verticals. This role is ideal for a highly analytical problem solver, who can blend user conversion funnel strategy, experimentation, cross-functional mobilization and partner enablement. Reporting to the Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships, you’ll play a critical role in driving growth across partners, developing a best-in-class partnership playbook and translating learnings into new vertical partnerships. This position offers a hybrid work environment.
This role is available to candidates working 2-3 days a week hybrid in either our NYC, SF, or Salt Lake City office. Candidates relocating to our hubs may be eligible for relocation assistance.
