SalesPartnerships Manager

bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you.

As Senior Partnerships Manager at bunch, you will be a senior individual contributor owning the partnership function across our core markets: the partners who send us clients, and the specialist providers who help us service those mandates end-to-end.

Fund administration is a partnership-driven business. The right referral and channel partners create qualified pipeline at scale. The right provider network ensures we can support fund managers across markets without capability gaps. This role brings both together.

This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role. You will personally build the channel that brings clients in, develop the provider network that lets us keep them, and establish the systems behind the function. It is a revenue-generating role with direct impact on ARR, and it is also serviceability-critical: making sure bunch can support fund mandates in our markets with confidence, quality, and speed.

The near-term mandate is to prove and scale the partnerships motion through direct execution. As the function matures and its impact becomes repeatable, there is potential to shape the future operating model and build a team.

You will:

Own the partnership program across bunch’s core markets—UK, Germany, and Luxembourg—keeping a consistent framework while adapting activation to local market dynamics and regulatory realities
Personally identify, sign, and activate referral and channel partners, including fund formation counsel, placement agents, banks, audit advisors, and tax advisors
Convert partner relationships into qualified pipeline and measurable partner-sourced ARR
Structure and maintain relationships with regulated and specialist providers, including depositaries, AML officers, ManCos, auditors, and onboarding, compliance, accounting, and tax specialists

Partner with Commercial and Marketing on joint go-to-market initiatives, including co-hosted events, co-authored content, and partner-facilitated introductions

Represent bunch at key industry events and forums across our markets; regular travel is expected

Use data and market feedback to recommend when and how the function should expand, including the capabilities and roles a future team may need

You will personally identify, sign, and activate referral and channel partners that convert into qualified pipeline at scale. You will own the commercial relationship, including negotiation, pricing, activation, and scope expansion. Once a referred client is live, day-to-day delivery sits with the relevant operations owner; your focus stays on growing the relationship and driving more pipeline through it.

You will identify, structure, and maintain relationships with specialist and regulated providers that allow bunch to service fund mandates end-to-end. These relationships are ongoing and operational by nature; you own them commercially while delivery runs alongside the relevant teams.

Acting as the hands-on owner of partnerships rather than delegating execution
Setting strategy and priorities while also sourcing, negotiating, activating, and expanding partnerships directly
Influencing senior stakeholders across Commercial, Marketing, Operations, Product, and leadership
Creating a repeatable operating model, clear metrics, and evidence of commercial impact

A track record of building something from scratch, such as a partner programme, new market, or commercial channel

Comfortable operating with ambiguity, creating structure as you go, and owning a measurable commercial outcome

A senior operator who remains energised by direct execution: opening doors, running partner conversations, negotiating agreements, activating relationships, and building the underlying process

Commercially sharp: you understand how referral and delivery partnerships work, what makes each valuable, and how to structure agreements that work for both sides

Able to hold credible senior conversations with law firms, depositaries, regulated providers, and professional services firms

Strong cross-functional partner to Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Product, and leadership teams, influencing without relying on formal authority

Organised and systems-oriented, with the ability to build tracking, reporting, and process while moving fast

Fluent in the language of private markets, including fund structures, LP/GP dynamics, and the regulatory environment across the UK and Europe

Familiar with the role of depositaries, ManCos, AML officers, and other regulated or specialist providers in fund operations

Existing relationships in the UK and/or European VC/PE ecosystem—such as law firms, accountancy practices, placement agents, banks, or regulated providers—that give you a running start

Willing and able to travel regularly across bunch’s markets

Interested in the potential to build a team when the business is ready, without seeing immediate people management as a prerequisite for seniority
