Our Journey at Keep

At Keep, we embarked on a mission with a powerful question: Why hasn't the banking experience caught up with the rapid pace of technology?

This continues to fuel our passion for reshaping the Canadian fintech landscape. We provide businesses with a comprehensive suite of cross-border banking services, offering everything from credit cards to deposit accounts, currency conversions, and revenue financing.

With a team of seasoned global startup veterans with successful exits, Keep is committed to leading the charge as Canada's next-generation fintech institution. Backed by VCs in the fintech sector, we're racing ahead, expanding our reach and impact like never before.

About the Role

Join Keep as our Partnerships Specialist, where you’ll play a key role in strengthening and growing our network of referral and channel partners. You’ll be the connector between Keep and our ecosystem of partners — ensuring they stay engaged, informed, and supported, while identifying opportunities to deepen collaboration.

If you love building relationships, staying organized, and driving results through meaningful partnerships, this role is for you. You’ll help Keep expand its reach and ensure that our partners remain an active and trusted part of our growth story.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re a natural relationship builder who enjoys connecting with people and maintaining long-term trust.
You’re proactive — you don’t wait for things to happen; you make them happen.
You’re highly organized and comfortable tracking multiple partner interactions and pipelines at once.
You understand how to balance relationship management with data-driven follow-up and accountability.
You thrive in dynamic, fast-moving environments where no two days are the same.
You can collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams to align on partner strategies.

Bonus Points If You Have

Experience in partnerships, business development, or account management — ideally in fintech, SaaS, or startups.
Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Pipedrive, or similar) for tracking partner performance.
Experience managing referral or channel programs.
Bilingual proficiency (English/Spanish or French) for cross-market communication.
