About Your Role
We are looking for a VP Partnerships & Channel (Head of CARE) to join our Revenue Organization. In this role, you will own channel-sourced revenue for the entire firm and build the CARE partner program (Channel Affiliate Recruiting and Engagement) into a system, helping to drive pre-trusted, pre-qualified pipeline into every service line at the lowest acquisition cost the firm will ever see.
If you’re passionate about building partner and referral programs from the ground up, working with CPAs, RIAs, attorneys, and bankers, thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and growth-focused environment where innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning drive success, we’d love to hear from you!
The ideal candidate is a builder and a player-coach with strong compliance judgment—someone who takes initiative, embraces challenges, and is eager to contribute to a culture of excellence and impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Own channel-sourced revenue across all service lines and the north-star metric behind it: partner-sourced share of firm-wide new revenue, measured against a baseline you establish.
- Recruit partners by design, with partner-type ICPs and distinct pitches built on targetable datasets (state CPA society directories, Form ADV extracts, deal databases), prioritizing producing partners over a logo wall.
- Operate the four-stage affiliate lifecycle (recruit, onboard and enable, activate, grow and retain), with 90-day activation as the metric that matters and recruiter compensation gated on it.
