Whether in-store, online, or on a mobile device, we process over 40 billion transactions annually and offer more than 300 payment methods supporting 126 currencies across 146 countries. It's the perfect place for exceptional people to take their careers to the next level.

The Opportunity

We are building something truly extraordinary within the world of payments. This entirely new organization, Apollo, operates as a fully funded start-up within the broader Worldpay organization. The Partnership Program Lead role will engage our external partners and their respective internal Worldpay teams to adopt new go-to-market strategies and programs. Their success is your success. You will build and grow a pipeline of Worldpay partners for entry into the Apollo venture, manage their onboarding experience, and drive their ongoing success within the venture through development of KPIs, incentive programs, and growth strategies. Project Apollo is seen as one of the most important strategic innovations on Worldpay's roadmap and this role can expect a high degree of internal/external exposure once the platform is GA.

As part of the team of a brand new, world-changing initiative at Worldpay, you will define how we engage with our partners and set them, and the venture, up for success. These partners consist of financial institutions of all sizes, technology solution providers across all verticals, and Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) of varying go-to-market focus. You will specialize in one of these partner types, but have exposure to the full partner base.

As Partnership Program Lead you are someone who loves building and maintaining relationships across internal teams as well as with external partners. You enjoy equal parts strategy and operation as you design, build, scale, and refine programs for the partner experience within Apollo. You will be given a high degree of autonomy, but will be required to continually rationalize your strategy with data.

We're turbo-charging our industry by nurturing the fintech experts needed to help our customers prosper. We don't try to ride the winds of change. We create them. We're proud to be shaping the future of payments by supporting the growth and development of our colleagues. We provide opportunities to learn and the flexibility needed to get the job done.
