The role The Accounting Partnerships team helps Airwallex reach ambitious SMEs through the firms and technology providers they already trust: accounting firms, experts-comptables, ERP and accounting-software partners, resellers, integrators and outsourced CFO/advisory firms. As Accounting Partnerships Manager, France, you will build and grow a partner-led acquisition channel for the French market. You will identify the right partner segments, create trusted relationships, activate partners and turn those relationships into qualified introductions and pipeline for Airwallex. This is a hands-on commercial role. You will personally source and develop partners, create the partner value proposition, test referral and co-selling motions, enable partners and work closely with Sales to convert partner-sourced opportunities. You will also build the simple operating rhythm needed to scale what works. The role is focused on lead generation and partner activation, not technical integrations. You do not need to build APIs, but you must be able to understand customer problems, explain Airwallex’s value clearly and work with Product, Sales and Marketing when a partner or customer need requires support. The role is based in Paris, with a minimum of three days per week working from our office. What you’ll do Build and own the French accounting-partner strategy, aligned with the SME & Growth GTM. Define and prioritise the partner ICP across accounting firms, ERP/accounting-software vendors, resellers, integrators and outsourced CFO/advisory firms. Build a target list, map decision-makers and source new partners through outbound, warm introductions, events and existing relationships. Recruit, qualify and activate partners based on client fit, influence, willingness to recommend and ability to generate opportunities. Create simple referral, co-selling, client-introduction and co-marketing motions that produce qualified leads. Build partner messaging and enablement materials that explain Airwallex’s value to both the partner and their clients. Work with Sales Managers and AEs on account mapping, lead routing, qualification, follow-up and feedback on partner-sourced opportunities. Track partner conversations, active partners, referrals, opportunities, pipeline, conversion, time to first
