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 MissionAs 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.
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!
What you’ll be doing...
Own a portfolio of our most strategic partners with a clear focus on revenue generation - you're accountable for pipeline development, deal progression, and conversion.
Drive joint account planning and lead quarterly business reviews - tracking performance, identifying high-value opportunities, and ensuring both sides are aligned on what success looks like.
Act as the daily point of contact for strategic partner stakeholders, building the trust and momentum that makes these relationships deliver.
Execute GTM campaigns and joint marketing initiatives that generate qualified pipeline, and coordinate executive engagement to unlock strategic opportunities.
Enable partners to sell Ben effectively - build playbooks, create collateral, deliver training on value proposition and competitive positioning, and use your benefits expertise to give them credibility with their clients.
Work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to ensure partners have what they need to win and that partnership insights inform our strategy.
Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within the partner channel and translate them into actionable pipeline.
Build the reporting infrastructure that tracks partner performance (pipeline value, deal velocity, conversion rates, revenue contribution) and demonstrates ROI to leadership.
You'll thrive here if you have...
Partnership management experience with revenue responsibility - You've owned commercial and/or broker partnerships, managed revenue targets, and built pipeline and generated revenue through partner channels
Benefits industry experience - You will have extensive experience from benefits consultancies or benefits tech platforms
GTM campaign execution experience - You've designed and executed go-to-market campaigns with partners, driving qualified pipeline and measurable revenue outcomes
Commercial operator mindset - You track metrics, manage deals, and drive revenue outcomes. You're accountable for results, not just relationships. You know how to identify and execute upsell and cross-sell opportunities
You will not love this role if you….Need a slow pace to feel comfortable - we move fast, and we prioritise action, even when the path isn’t perfectly clear
Are uncomfortable being accountable for outcomes - this role involves owning projects end-to-end and being responsible for making them succeed and delivering them at a high quality
Prefer maintaining the status quo - we want to challenge assumptions and push for better ways of working
Prefer a highly structured environment with established processes and clearly defined boundaries - we’re still building, and sometimes that means creating the path as we go
Struggle with ambiguity or expect prescriptive direction - you’ll get support and context, but you’ll need to figure things out and take ownership
Wait for others to step up, or to be told what to do - We are a high-performance and high-reward work place and are looking for people who are proactive
