Partnerships Executive, Singapore

About the role

Sleek, a Singapore-based provider of back-office software and AI for micro-SMEs, is looking for a Partnerships Executive to join its Singapore Partnerships team. This is a hunter-focused role: you will identify, approach and activate new partners, building the top of the funnel that fuels growth in Singapore. You will report to the Strategic Partnerships Manager, who guides deal structuring and partner strategy.

Key responsibilities

• Identify and approach potential partners across fintech, eCommerce, professional services, immigration and other relevant industries.
• Run outreach campaigns, set up meetings and move leads through the pipeline.
• Support onboarding and activation of new partners so they can refer clients to Sleek.
• Track and maintain pipeline activity in CRM tools and report regularly on outreach volume, conversion rates and partner performance.
• Work with marketing, sales and operations on partner-facing materials, co-marketing and referral processes.
• Monitor partner activity and flag underperforming relationships to the Strategic Partnerships Manager with proposed actions.
• Targets: acquire 10 new partners per month and drive at least 30 new customers per month from partners you own.

Required profile

• 2-5 years of experience in partnerships, business development, sales or account management, ideally in a tech startup, fintech or eCommerce environment.
• Proven ability to prospect and generate leads, comfortable with cold outreach.
• Strong communication skills and ability to build rapport with partners across industries.
• Organised and self-motivated, able to manage your own pipeline and follow up consistently.
• Based in Singapore; fintech, eCommerce or employer of record (EOR) experience is a plus but not required.

Required skills

• Expertise with basic data and CRM tools to track activity and report results.
• Avid adopter of AI to improve effectiveness.

Interview process

• 30-minute screening call with the Talent Acquisition team.
• 60-minute technical round with the Hiring Manager, including a live case study and roleplay.
• 45-minute behavioural round with a member of the leadership team.
• Reference check and possible background screening, depending on the role.
