Job Details

Patreon is a media and community platform where creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. Over 300k creators are cultivating fandoms and building their businesses each month. Creators can offer free memberships to fans looking to explore more of their work, paid memberships to give access to exclusive media and community, or sell directly to fans with Shops.

Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:

  • 8B+ earned since Patreon's inception

  • 30M free new memberships in the first year of launching that option, and

  • 10M fans paying each month for exclusive access to creators' work and community.

We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator products with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Payment Partnership Manager to support our mission

This role is based in San Francisco OR Remote but must be in PST time zone.

About the Role

As a Payments Partnership Manager, you will play a key role in optimizing and expanding our global payment capabilities while ensuring a seamless experience for creators and members. You’ll manage strategic payment partnerships, drive efficiencies in pay-ins and payouts, and identify opportunities to enhance our payment infrastructure.

This role requires strong analytical skills, relationship management, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver a reliable and frictionless payment experience. Your work will directly impact how creators get paid and how members support the content they love.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Optimize Payment Operations: Identify and prioritize opportunities to increase TPV, reduce cost, enhance efficiency and optimize both pay-in and payout processes.

  • Monitor Performance & Industry Trends: Stay ahead of industry developments, analyze payment performance metrics, and propose new initiatives or payment methods to improve customer experience.

  • Manage Partner Relationships: Oversee day-to-day interactions, escalations, contract negotiations, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and performance scorecards with key payment partners.

  • Drive Strategic Decision-Making: Work closely with technical leadership to influence key decisions, set priorities, and ensure the successful execution of payment-related projects.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with teams across engineering, product, finance, data science, legal, compliance, and support to assess, onboard, and optimize best-in-class payment solutions.

  • Improve Payment Resilience: Work with partners to implement best practices, identify and mitigate points of failure, resolve incidents, and document key processes to ensure reliability and scalability.

What We're Looking For:

  • 3+ years of proven experience in payments, fintech or consulting roles with a focus on strategy and partnerships.

  • Deep understanding of payment processing, payment networks, and global payment trends.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach to decision-making.

  • Ability to operate independently, navigate ambiguity and complex issues with minimal guidance.

  • Excellent relationship management and negotiation skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across internal teams and external partners.

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of ownership.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about payments, thrives in a collaborative environment, and enjoys working at the intersection of technology and finance to drive meaningful business impact and a world class experience to our creators and members.
