Partnership Development Manager

We’re Launch United — a lightning-fast product incubator that growth a software-first market-making engine used by token issuers and exchanges to keep spreads tight, defend against manipulation, and grow real trading volume.
 

Important: this role has uncapped commission plus a performance-based base retainer (commission only till you get the first deal, then %+fix).
 

Your Mission

Build, sign, and grow a high-performing partner ecosystem that consistently hands over well-qualified demand for our market making solution - then enable those partners to turn referrals into revenue.

What You’ll Do

• Source & evaluate partners: Identify, prioritise, and outreach to firms that work directly with token teams and exchanges; own the pipeline from targeting → first call → signed agreement.
• Negotiate & sign referrals: Draft clear rev-share terms, lead-routing rules, data capture, and lightweight co-marketing obligations; close agreements fast.
• Enable & activate: Deliver a crisp partner kit (one-pager, case clips, ROI talking points) and stand up frictionless lead hand-off into HubSpot/PRM.
• Drive partner activity: Orchestrate “rounding” — regular partner check-ins, enablement sessions, and joint campaigns (webinars, AMAs, founder intros) to keep referrals flowing.
• Report & improve: Maintain spotless PRM/CRM hygiene, forecast partner-sourced pipeline and revenue, and loop market feedback to product & marketing.
