Global Partnerships Manager

Description

Okoora is building the global standard in Embedded FX Infrastructure. Our FX360 engine powers banks, PSPs, ERPs, marketplaces, brokers, and financial advisors with automated FX risk management, multi-currency wallets, and monetized cross-border flows.

The Global Partnerships Manager is responsible for creating and expanding a worldwide network of strategic partners who act as distribution multipliers for Okoora. This role is not measured by the number of signed partnerships alone, but by the clients those partners bring in. Every partnership must translate into ARR through downstream customer adoption.
