Head of Partnerships & Vendor Management
Dave is a financial app on a mission to build products that level the financial playing field. It is redefining the financial landscape by leveraging technology to create an affordable, transparent, and user-centric access to liquidity for millions of Americans. As a leading innovator in the U.S. financial services sector, Dave’s digital financial platform offers products designed to meet the credit needs of those underserved by traditional financial institutions. Dave’s offerings include its flagship ExtraCash product, providing members up to $500 in short-term advances within minutes. The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option.
Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most.
We’re hiring a Head of Partnerships & Vendor Management to help shape and execute the partner ecosystem that powers Dave’s core products. This role sits on the Product Leadership team and plays a critical role in how we scale partnerships that support product innovation, operational reliability, and sustainable growth.
The Head of Partnerships & Vendor Management is part of the Product Leadership team and plays a critical role in building and managing the partner ecosystem that enables Dave’s core products. Working closely with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Risk, and Operations, you’ll drive partnership strategy in support of Dave’s growth, grounded in a strong understanding of our priorities and the payments and banking landscape.
In this role, you’ll source and develop relationships with mission-critical vendors, while also evaluating and evolving existing partnerships to ensure they continue to support our business objectives. You’ll contribute a thoughtful, informed point of view in senior leadership discussions, helping guide decisions that impact product direction and execution.
You’ll lead and mentor a team of partnership and relationship managers, ensuring their work is aligned with the overall strategy and focused on delivering clear, measurable results for the business.
The partnerships you shape will directly influence how quickly Dave can launch new products and execute on its strategy, how efficiently we operate, and how reliably members can access their money. When this role is done well, partnerships become a competitive advantage.
You take real accountability for outcomes. When something isn’t working—internally or with a partner—you step in, figure out why, and fix it. You balance strategy with a willingness to get into the details, especially when the stakes are high.
You collaborate naturally across disciplines, bringing others along with context and clear thinking. You’re comfortable making trade-offs, adjusting course as data changes, and helping your team grow by setting direction—not micromanaging.
This role comes with meaningful autonomy, executive visibility, and real influence over Dave’s platform and economics. The pace is fast, and priorities evolve, but decisions are grounded in data and long-term impact. If you want to build partnerships that truly matter, this is the role.
