CreditAssociates, a leading direct-to-consumer financial services company, is searching for a Director of Business Development to lead the strategic vision and day-to-day operations of our Bulk Partner Program — a critical growth engine for the business. This role will manage a portfolio of 80+ strategic data-sharing partnerships, while also spearheading new partner acquisition across debt buyers, collection agencies, credit unions, and other financial institutions.

This is an opportunity to shape and optimize a high-impact channel, with direct access to leadership, a competitive base salary, and a results-driven bonus plan tied to your success in driving partner performance and revenue growth.

To be successful in this role you must be a strategic relationship builder who thrives on forging partnerships and delivering win-win solutions. You must be equally comfortable in front of partners negotiating deals as you are behind the scenes analyzing data to uncover performance trends. You also need to be self-motivated, proactive, and ready to make your mark at a high-growth company.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end-to-end management of our Bulk Partner Program, overseeing a portfolio of 80+ data-sharing partnerships.
• Drive revenue growth by optimizing existing partner performance and sourcing new partnership opportunities with debt buyers, collection agencies, and other key players.
• Build, nurture, and negotiate long-term strategic partnerships that improve settlement terms and drive operational efficiency.
• Develop and implement partner segmentation strategies to prioritize top-performing relationships and maximize results.
• Analyze partner performance data to identify opportunities for optimization, including volume allocation, settlement rates, and quality metrics.
• Serve as the face of CreditAssociates at industry conferences and networking events to expand our partner ecosystem.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Analytics, and Legal to onboard new partners and continuously improve the partner experience.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of financial services experience in business development, vendor management, or partnerships — preferably within debt settlement or collections.
• Proven track record of building, managing, and scaling partner programs that drive measurable business outcomes.
• Excellent negotiation and relationship-building skills with both small and large partners.
• Strong data analysis skills and the ability to make data-driven decisions.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other reporting tools — Google Analytics experience a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
• Willingness to travel for conferences, partner meetings, and industry events.

Benefits:

• Excellent benefits, including Medical, Dental, Vision and company paid Life Insurance
• Generous 401k plan with aggressive company match
• Convenient location near Legacy West
