Ready to get shit done?
At bunq, we're not just building a banking app; we're reshaping how people around the world experience financial freedom. As a VP Specialized Partnerships, you'll be instrumental in identifying the industries where bunq's full-stack BaaS infrastructure solves the biggest problem at scale — and closing the first deals that prove the model. You'll build the commercial foundation that takes bunq's embedded finance capabilities into new verticals, delivering partnerships that are complex, high-value, and transformative.
Take Ownership
As VP Specialized Partnerships, you'll play a critical role in turning bunq's infrastructure into commercial reality.
Identify the single commercial category where bunq's wallet + card + compliance-in-one solution creates the most value at scale, and build the business case to pursue it decisively.
Own the full partnership lifecycle from first outreach to signed deal and live integration
Redesign bunq's partnership process from the ground up: strip out what slows deals down while protecting what's legally required, and build a repeatable motion that closes faster across EEA and US markets.
Build commercial momentum ahead of the US license launch, securing LOIs and conditional agreements so revenue starts the moment the license goes live.
Run an AI-first sales motion, using AI for market intelligence, prospect research, pipeline prioritization, and personalized outreach at scale.
This challenge is perfect for you if
You have a deep understanding of payments, BaaS, embedded finance, sponsor bank models, card issuing, wallets, settlements, and KYC/KYB/AML — and you can translate technical and regulatory complexity into clear business value for enterprise partners.
You have a proven track record of independently closing complex, high-value B2B partnerships in fintech or financial services, including legal and commercial negotiation.
You have experience winning structured procurement processes: tenders, RFPs, and formal partner selection with regulated institutions.
You've identified and opened a new commercial vertical from scratch — not just executed within defined categories, but built the first deal and the repeatable motion behind it.
You can communicate effectively in English across global teams, enterprise partners, and C-level stakeholders.
All new hires are subject to Pre-employment Screening (PES), which includes checks conducted by our third-party partner, Zinc. This is part of our commitment to a secure and trustworthy workplace
