Job Title: Startup Partnerships & Intake Manager

Location: Abuja (FCT) 
Employment Type: Contract

Why This Role Exists

• During peak operational periods like U.S. tax season, Slice Finance must continue building its pipeline of high-quality startup clients but without distracting founders or accepting misaligned engagements.
• This role acts as the strategic front door: sourcing, qualifying, and structuring demand from global founders who need help forming entities, securing licenses, preparing for Annual audits, and achieving certifications like PCI DSS or ISO 27001.
• This is a sales role with risk-filtering function rooted in ecosystem access and operational discipline.

Who You Are

• You’ve spent time in the trenches of the startup world—whether at a VC firm evaluating fin-techs or tech startups, an accelerator, or a conference team connecting startups with service providers.
• You understand what it takes for a founder to launch a regulated business across borders. You’re commercially aware but compliance-conscious. Y
• ou know how to say “no” gracefully and “yes, here’s how we can help” clearly.

Key Responsibilities

• Source & Engage: Build relationships with VC associates, accelerator managers, event organizers, and founder communities across Africa, North America, and Europe to generate qualified inbound leads.
• Discover & Diagnose: Conduct 15–25 minute discovery calls to understand the founder’s goals: e.g., “We’re a Nigerian fintech raising seed round—need a Delaware C-corp, U.S. bank account, and PCI DSS certification by Q3.”

• Scope & Package: Map needs to Slice Finance’s service modules:

  • Entity formation (multi-jurisdiction)
  • And bank account opening
  • Regulatory licensing support (MSB, VASP, PI, etc.)
  • Year-end financial statement preparation & Audit
  • Compliance certification roadmaps (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2)
• Position & Protect: Present offerings within approved pricing bands; never promise custom solutions or discounts.
• Enforce Guardrails: Reject leads that fall below thresholds or introduce reputational risk—no exceptions without founder approval.
• Handoff Cleanly: Deliver a complete intake package to the Compliance & Tax Operations Lead, including scope, timeline expectations, and risk notes.
• Report Weekly: Share pipeline metrics, conversion trends, and escalation rationale every Monday.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years working directly with early-stage startups or founders.
