About the role

What you’ll do

  • Scale existing high-performing, enterprise partners: Deepen connectivity with the largest accounting firms in the US — leading partner meetings independently, navigating internal BD teams and independence constraints, and building champions across business units and geographies.
  • Drive conversion, in collaboration with Commercial leads: Optimize the partner playbook, systematize referral lifecycles with conversion and revenue delivery as key success metrics.
  • Expand up the mid-market tier: Scale work with mid-market and regional accounting firms, including shaping new referral and co-sell structures.
  • Keep capital front and center: Prioritize relationships, business units, and referral types that bring tax credit buyers and tax equity investors onto the platform.
  • Strengthen the operating system: Maintain partner records, attribution, and pipeline in HubSpot alongside RevOps; track champion health and referral momentum; refine playbooks.
  • Get out in the market: Join partner briefings, conferences, and roadshows (~25% travel) to deepen relationships.
  • Over time, grow your portfolio to include additional personas such as law firm relationships and emerging tax-adjacent partner personas.

What you bring

  • Genuine tax fluency — ability to hold conversations with Big 4 tax partners, law firm BD teams, or in-house tax executives; understand how tax considerations drive deal structures.
  • Professional services instincts — knowledge of how accounting and law firms operate inside transactions, including BD organizations, independence/compliance constraints, billing relationships, and partner motivations.
  • Proven relationship building capabilities at enterprise-level partners.
  • Commercial accountability — track record of driving material commercial outcomes (revenue, pipeline contribution, conversion metrics).
  • Builder’s mindset with bias to action — roughly 5–6 years of experience owning meaningful workstreams or relationships independently; experience building/refining playbooks; comfortable without large support teams; excited to use AI tools.
  • Cross-functional tact — successful collaboration with multiple teams with limited direct authority.
  • Excitement to grow — curiosity and pace to ramp quickly on clean energy finance, transferable tax credits, and tax equity.
