We're looking for a Partnerships Manager to build and grow DEUNA's partner ecosystem in the US. You'll own relationships across the payments value chain — PSPs, acquirers, gateways, card networks, alternative payment methods (APMs), fraud/risk vendors, and technology/platform partners — and turn them into joint go-to-market, co-selling, and integration partnerships that expand DEUNA's reach and revenue in the US market.

What you'll do

• Identify, recruit, and onboard strategic payment and technology partners (PSPs, acquirers, gateways, APMs, fraud/risk providers, ISVs, agencies, and SIs).
• Own partner relationships end to end — from outreach and deal structuring to signed agreements and ongoing account management.
• Build joint go-to-market and co-selling motions, and drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline.
• Negotiate commercial terms, including referral, reseller, and revenue-share agreements.
• Work closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering to prioritize and launch integrations that create clear merchant value.
• Run partner QBRs, enablement, and co-marketing initiatives; serve as the US point of contact for the ecosystem.
• Define and track partnership KPIs (pipeline, revenue, activation, integration milestones) and report on impact.
• Represent DEUNA at industry events and across the US payments community.

What you'll bring

• 5+ years in partnerships, business development, or channel roles — ideally in payments, fintech, or B2B SaaS.
• Solid understanding of the payments value chain: PSPs, acquirers, card networks, gateways, orchestration, APMs, and fraud/risk.
• Proven track record building and scaling partner ecosystems and driving partner-sourced revenue.
• Experience negotiating commercial and revenue-share agreements.
• Strong relationship-building, communication, and executive presence.
• Comfort working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Engineering.
• Based in the US and able to travel for partner meetings and events.
• Fluent English; Spanish or Portuguese a plus (LATAM-headquartered company).
• Nice to have
• An existing network within the US payments/fintech ecosystem.
• Experience at a payment orchestrator, PSP, gateway, or enterprise merchant.
• Familiarity with enterprise e-commerce checkout and API/SDK integration models.
• High-growth / startup environment experience.
• What will you find when you join DEUNA?
• A multicultural team distributed throughout LATAM
• Dynamism, agility and constant innovation
• Being part of a high-impact solution for an entire region
• The best tools and technology to operate
• Being part of the startup culture.
• We are in full expansion!
