Partnerships Manager

Managing business expenses shouldn't be a guessing game. Yet many SMEs still lack clear cash flow visibility and spend control. At Budgetly, we're changing that.

We're building an AI-first platform that simplifies expense management and helps businesses make better financial decisions, faster. The goal is simple: help you spend smarter, save time, and grow profitably.

You’ll join Budgetly as our Partnerships Manager to own our Partner Program end to end: building and scaling a channel of accountants, bookkeepers and business advisors, and turning them into active referrers who bring us qualified SME leads.

Accountants and bookkeepers are among the most trusted advisors an SME has. You'll make Budgetly easy for them to recommend, look after them and the clients they refer, and build the systems that let the program scale.

Some of the main responsibilities you’ll have:

• Recruit new accounting, bookkeeping and advisory partners, and own your partner acquisition, lead and conversion targets
• Grow existing partners into higher-value relationships, and help them move up through the partner tiers
• Own account management for your partners, providing excellent onboarding and ongoing support to them and the clients they refer
• Manage the partner and referred-client pipeline end to end, keeping CRM data accurate and forecasts reliable
• Work with the teams that own our shared systems to improve lead attribution, data quality and partner value recognition
• Experiment with AI tools and workflows to give partners useful insight into how their clients use Budgetly
• Keep your product knowledge sharp so you can explain Budgetly clearly to partners with very different client bases

• Experience in partnership or account management roles
• Demonstrated success scheduling and closing B2B partner deals and consistently achieving targets
• Experience managing and optimising a sales and partner pipeline
• Strong relationship management skills, with high empathy and customer focus
• Strong written and verbal communication, including explaining product concepts clearly
• Strong organisation, attention to detail and accurate data management
• Experience working in outcome-driven, high-performance teams
