Job Description

At Qred, we’re building the bank for small businesses. Since launching 10 years ago, we’ve grown from startup to profitable fintech scale-up, now generating over 1 billion SEK in annual revenue and supporting 50,000+ entrepreneurs across Northern Europe. We combine smart technology, real data, and human judgment to make financing simple, fast, and fair. With bold growth plans and strong momentum across multiple markets, we’re now looking for a Partnerships Manager for the next phase of growth.

About the Role

As a Partnerships Manager for the Dutch and Belgian market, you will take full end-to-end ownership of the sales funnel to fuel our growth in the Netherlands and Belgium. This 8-month interim position (July 31st – March 31st) is a high-impact role where you bridge the gap between initial prospecting and long-term relationship scaling. You are responsible for the entire journey: from the first call to signing, onboarding, and continuous optimization.

Key responsibilities

• Drive the complete sales cycle by identifying, prospecting, and closing new partnerships within the Dutch and Belgian SME ecosystem.

• Negotiate and finalize partnership contracts, ensuring both commercial alignment and technical feasibility.

• Manage the full partner onboarding process and maintain a high-frequency dialogue to ensure long-term commitment and lead quality.

• Analyze performance metrics and lead data to challenge partners and maximize conversion at every step of the funnel.

• Maintain a robust and active pipeline, ensuring a high volume of activity across multiple concurrent partnership negotiations.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a persistent, numbers-driven professional who isn’t afraid to pick up the phone and sell a long-term vision. You thrive in a fast-paced environment where the sales cycle is continuous and possess the determination and resilience needed to capture market share in a competitive landscape. You are comfortable with high levels of freedom under responsibility and enjoy a workplace with a high ceiling and a tight-knit, fun-loving team culture.

Qualifications

• Fluency in Dutch and English is required, while knowledge of French is considered an advantage.

• A few years of experience in B2B sales or business development, with a proven track record of owning the entire sales funnel.

• Hands-on experience in managing pipelines, track activity, and analyze client performance.

• Experience from Fintech or fast-paced scale-up environments is a strong advantage.

• A natural ability to juggle multiple stakeholders and move quickly from initial idea to signed contract.

This is the place to be if you’re looking for a place to grow. Qred is growing fast, and our Qredsters along with it. With a non-bureaucratic organization and delegated responsibilities, we make sure there’s a short path from idea to action. In addition to our great culture, you get to work with the latest cutting-edge techniques, full ownership, and last but not least a bunch of great competent colleagues to learn from!

One Last Thing

This is a full-time, temporary position (8 months) starting July 31st until March 31st, based in our headquarters in Stockholm. While we encourage a hybrid setup, we do expect you to be at least three days per week at the office. We review applications on a rolling basis.
