Senior Data Partnerships Manager

ABOUT THE ROLE

Taktile is redefining how financial institutions use AI to make critical decisions, and we're growing fast. Our customers use our product to catch fraudsters, prevent money laundering, and expand access to credit for businesses as well as consumers, among many other use cases. Taktile is making millions of such decisions across the globe every day.

We offer a powerful suite of tools that combine ML/AI, heuristics, analytics, and seamless data integrations to 200+ third-party providers—including credit bureaus, fraud solutions, open banking, and accounting data. One of our core differentiators is helping customers identify, test, and integrate the most relevant data sources to improve the quality of their decisions.

We're hiring a Senior Manager, Data Marketplace to scale this—and the role is unusually hybrid. You'll operate across three areas:

- Domain expertise; being our in-house authority on what each provider is actually good for, and helping customers to make the right decisions

- Partnerships; sourcing, negotiating, and managing relationships with data providers

- Product; shaping our Data Marketplace: what we integrate, how we expose it, how we maximize the value for our clients

This is built for someone who has lived inside the domain—credit risk, fraud, AML, KYC/KYB, or financial-crime ops at a bank, fintech, on a vendor side, or in consulting—and is ready to expand functionally. You already know what good data looks like and which providers earn their price. In this role, you'll get to shape how hundreds of fintechs access and use that data, own the commercial relationships with the providers themselves, and influence what we build next. You'll report to our Data Marketplace Lead and work alongside our EU-based Data Partnerships Manager and Integrations Program Manager.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Drive strategic partnerships by sourcing, negotiating, and launching collaborations with data providers—ensuring each partner delivers clear value to our customers and aligns with our Data Marketplace strategy.

- Lead partner onboarding and launch readiness, coordinating across legal, technical, and commercial teams to ensure smooth onboarding, and successful go-to-market launches.

- Own ongoing partner success, running regular business reviews, co-marketing initiatives, and performance check-ins to maximize mutual growth and customer adoption.

- Manage the commercial and operational backbone of our partner ecosystem, including billing models, revenue-sharing agreements, and pricing structures.

- Serve as the internal expert on partner data products, understanding each provider’s capabilities, limitations, and value propositions, and translating that into clear positioning and enablement materials.

- Build and scale a robust knowledge base that acts as the central source of truth for partner integrations, documentation, and best practices—empowering product, sales, and customer success teams.

- Surface insights and feedback from the field, identifying market trends, product gaps, and integration opportunities that inform our roadmap and strengthen our competitive edge.

ABOUT YOU

- 3+ years of experience in partnerships, business operations, or technical project management, ideally in SaaS or fintech.

- Hands-on experience with third-party data providers—credit bureaus, identity, fraud, open banking, business data—and real opinions on what separates the good ones from the rest

- Experience in a fast-paced start-up, scale-up or consulting environment, ideally in a B2B setting.

- Proven ability to negotiate and manage external partnerships with cross-functional impact.

- Strong communication and documentation skills; capable of translating complexity into clarity.

- Comfortable with technical concepts (e.g., APIs, data schemas) and working closely with product and engineering teams.

- Eager to learn and grow

OUR STANCE

- We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply

- We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms.
