Strategic Partnerships Manager

About the role

At My Funded Futures, we are transforming the world of proprietary trading by giving traders the capital, tools, and community they need to succeed. You will own the end to end lifecycle of strategic partnerships, driving initiatives from initial identification through negotiation, closure, and long term relationship management. This role requires you to build and run a robust pipeline of partners across corporate collaborations, fintech vendors, and key industry organizations. You will plan and manage our presence at industry events and conferences, handling sponsorships, booth logistics, and engagement strategies. You will structure creative deals that align incentives, whether through sponsorship, co marketing, integrations, or licensing arrangements. You will partner directly with Marketing and Executive leadership to ensure partnerships and event strategies support brand positioning and growth objectives. You will negotiate and manage vendor relationships that impact day to day operations, not just external facing alliances. You will represent us externally at industry events, vendor calls, and any forum where our name should be visible and compelling. You will turn relationships into recurring value by tracking performance, reporting on ROI, and knowing when to double down or walk away. You will stay plugged into prop trading culture, competitor partnerships, and emerging industry trends to anticipate where the market is heading.
