At Plaid, our mission is to empower innovators by delivering access to the financial system. Since 2012 we've helped tens of millions of consumers live a better financial life and over a thousand customers build a new financial future. Our customers range from startups like Stripe, Coinbase and Square to Fortune 500 enterprises like American Express and PayPal. Founded in 2012, Plaid has raised $300M of capital from major venture capital firms such as Kleiner Perkins, Andreessen Horowitz, Index, Spark and NEA, as well as global financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Citi. But we’re just getting started.

Plaid’s Go-To-Market Partnerships team is responsible for expanding the breadth of customers and end consumers who benefit from Plaid. This may be through integration partners where Plaid is a core component of a partner’s platform offering, affiliate/referral partners, and anything in between.

The Partner Enablement function collaborates closely with Partner Account Executives, creating an “account team” to ensure that we grow customers and revenue from existing partnerships. Partner enablement engages closely with partners on onboarding, training, sales, marketing, relationship management, and customer success. Successful members of the Partner Enablement team have cross-functional experience, as well as a love of creative experimentation, since no two partners are truly alike.

The Partner Integrations role combines customer success and solutions engineering responsibilities with a simple goal: make sure our partners use our products properly and successfully. While not explicitly technical, you will be “in the weeds” with the ways our customers use the product. You will be an evangelist for Plaid by leading training sessions with partners to ensure they understand the value of our joint solutions and they represent Plaid effectively to the market. You will also be an evangelist for Partners inside Plaid to ensure the organization provides appropriate support for the Partner ecosystem. You will play a key role in building internal operational processes and systems which enable scale and efficiency across the Partnerships organization.
