The Role

We're building something special in the fintech space, taking the headache out of back-office financial operations for startups and SMBs. And as we strengthen our marketing team, we need someone who can build our presence through strategic partnerships and events.
In this role, you'll drive growth through interconnected channels: partnerships, events, and sponsorships. You'll nurture relationships with key partners, create compelling virtual events, and secure strategic sponsorships that establish our brand in the fintech ecosystem. Critical to success is your ability to work closely with our sales team to ensure smooth handoff and conversion of partner-sourced opportunities.
Success in this role means:
  • Enabling a partner ecosystem to efficiently drive customer acquisition
  • Creating events that activate partnerships and generate qualified leads
  • Securing and maximizing sponsorships that build our brand
  • Using all three channels to educate founders and business owners about the value of outsourced accounting services

Key Responsibilities

Partnership Development

  • Develop a clear partner marketing strategy and budget allocation framework
  • Work with our Partner Development team to nurture relationships with strategic partners(VC firms, tech platforms, service providers, ecosystem builders)
  • Create and manage co-marketing campaigns that benefit both parties
  • Create joint thought leadership content
  • Find creative ways to expand reach through partner channels, especially their exclusive communities
  • Identify and evaluate a small number of sponsorship opportunities with partners

Event Strategy and Execution

  • Plan and produce virtual and in-person events that showcase our expertise
  • Coordinate brand presence and activation inside virtual communities and sponsored events
  • Create compelling event content and promotional materials
  • Coordinate speakers, topics, and session flow
  • Handle technical and operational aspects of event production
  • Design and execute post-event engagement strategies
  • Build repeatable processes for program management

About You

  • You've got 7+ years experience focused on partnerships or events, sponsorship or community marketing experience is a bonus
  • You can speak the language of business partnerships and brand marketing
  • You're equally comfortable in strategic planning and hands-on execution
  • You have experience in fintech, B2B SaaS, or professional services
  • You're both a relationship builder and a detailed program manager
  • You can make financial topics engaging through creative programming
  • You're metrics-driven but also value the qualitative aspects of partnerships
  • You can spot high-value opportunities and move quickly to secure them

What's in it for You

  • Own key growth channels for a fast-growing fintech startup
  • Significant equity opportunity
  • Direct impact on company strategy and growth
  • Freedom to experiment with new formats and approaches
  • Remote-first culture that values results over face time

View company profile

At Pilot, our mission is to build the future of the financial back office, empowering startups and small businesses to grow and flourish. We are a team of over 250 U.S.-based experts dedicated to cutting through complexity and providing the most reliable accounting, CFO, and tax services. Our core values guide everything we do, emphasizing ownership, focus, quality, impact, trust, teamwork, collaboration, and justice. We believe in a culture where every team member meaningfully impacts our company, our customers, and our teams. This commitment to excellence and a supportive environment is why many of our team members, some of whom have been with the founders since 2012 across multiple ventures, are excited to be part of Pilot's growth and work alongside their colleagues every day.

Founded in 2017 by Waseem Daher, Jeff Arnold, and Jessica McKellar, three friends from MIT's computer club with a history of successful B2B startups, Pilot was born out of a desire to solve a pervasive and significant pain point: bookkeeping. Having experienced the challenges of financial management firsthand with their previous companies (Ksplice, acquired by Oracle, and Zulip, acquired by Dropbox), the founders recognized a massive unmet need in the market. We understand that entrepreneurs start their businesses to pursue their passions, not to get bogged down in bookkeeping, taxes, and accounting. That's why Pilot combines intelligent software with world-class, full-time, U.S.-based finance experts to deliver accurate, consistent financial management and tax services. This unique blend allows us to handle the complexities of your finances, giving you the freedom to focus on what you do best – building your business. We partner with thousands of companies, from pre-seed startups to those with hundred-person teams, helping them grow sustainably and operate more effectively.
