Founding Strategic Partnerships Lead

Help build and drive the Partnerships engine

We’re growing our GTM team and hiring our first Strategic Partnerships Lead to build and scale our strategic alliances. Work closely with our founders, sales, and product teams, and help bring DualEntry’s AI-powered ERP platform to mid-market finance teams.

Why we're growing our GTM & Partnerships team

DualEntry is rapidly growing, moving from early traction to scale. Strategic partnerships are essential for unlocking new revenue, driving co-marketing, and generating a consistent flow of qualified leads. As our first dedicated Partnerships leader, you’ll develop a scalable, data-driven partnerships engine leveraging AI and growth automation tools to give you executional power (→ what used to take a team of ~5 people).

About DualEntry

Founded in 2024, DualEntry is one of NYC’s fastest-growing AI startups — backed by leading VCs from New York and San Francisco, along with 30+ angel investors and unicorn founders.

Our founding team previously scaled their startup to $100M ARR, raised over $380M in funding, and exited successfully.

Now, we’re building what we always wished existed: a modern, AI-native accounting platform that brings clarity, automation, and scale to mid-market finance teams.

We operate with urgency, ownership, and deep focus. We move fast.

Where you'll create impact

As part of our Partnerships team, you’ll define and lead DualEntry’s partnership strategy and execution — identifying and partnering within strategic categories (e.g., system integrators, accounting firms, consultants, SaaS providers).

You’ll expand our partner network, nurturing key relationships, attending events, hosting events, hosting webinars, and in-person meetings.

You’ll build scalable processes using automation and AI to source, qualify, onboard, and activate partners, driving joint go-to-market efforts such as referral programs and co-marketing campaigns.

You’ll own partnership metrics, create dashboards, run experiments, and analyze funnel performance.

You should be open to US travel 1–2 times per month.
