Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience.

Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget.

This is a highly visible, externally-facing leadership role reporting to the SVP of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships.

- Direct experience in FinTech, with a strong understanding of how banks, payment networks, and financial infrastructure providers operate—ideally through partnerships or integrations with card networks, issuers, or payment processors.
- Proven success sourcing, negotiating, and managing complex partnerships with measurable business impact.
- Strong understanding of how partnerships intersect with product strategy, engineering priorities, and go-to-market execution.
- Excellent relationship builder and communicator—able to engage effectively at both executive and operational levels.
- Commercially minded and analytically rigorous, with the ability to structure deals, model outcomes, and drive data-informed decisions.
- Comfortable operating as both hunter and operator, balancing origination with execution excellence.
