Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, automating how over $200B in annualized spend flows through 70,000+ companies. The company handles payment authorization, risk flagging, spend categorization, and financial close processes for ambitious businesses. This role focuses on building institutional partnerships with top-tier global strategy consulting firms (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG) that advise CFOs and CEOs on finance transformation and technology decisions. You will own these relationships end-to-end and develop them into a repeatable go-to-market motion that creates value for the consulting firm, their clients, and Ramp. This is a build-from-scratch opportunity. Ramp's relationships in this ecosystem are currently early and informal. You will be responsible for the partnership thesis, relationship strategy, and operating motion that transforms a firm into a meaningful Ramp partner over time—a broader remit than a typical partnerships role. Key responsibilities include: - Serve as primary relationship owner for a portfolio of top-tier strategy and advisory firms, building credibility with senior firm leadership - Convert executive introductions into structured partnerships by developing partnership theses, relationship maps, executive sponsor plans, target practices, and client wedges for each firm - Negotiate and close the first formal agreements between Ramp and these firms - Build market-facing proof points with Ramp's leadership, marketing, and product teams through executive events, thought leadership, and shared client stories - Coordinate cross-functional execution across Ramp, engaging Account Executives, Customer Success Managers, Product, AI Solutions, and executive sponsors - Establish and maintain operating cadence including relationship maps, firm plans, account maps, and next steps The role is based in New York (preferred) or another major metro, with approximately 25% travel required. REQUIREMENTS: - 4+ years of experience at a leading strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or equivalent) - Exceptional executive presence; ability to hold a room with senior leaders, earn trust quickly, and represent Ramp independently in high-level meetings - Proven ability to manage multiple work streams and complex stakeholder relationships - Builder's instinct: energized by ambiguity, comfortable without a playbook, able to bring structure to undefined problems - Excellent written and verbal communication with judgment to calibrate between executive conversations and working sessions - Willingness to travel approximately 25% and be based in a major metro
