Job Description
CRED is hiring a business development and partnerships lead in Bengaluru. The role is full-time and on-site. The person heads CRED's partner ecosystem across its products and serves as the company's principal contact for several of India's leading consumer brands. The posting links the role to CRED's merchant-led growth strategy, which it says influences how millions of people use CRED.
Core work is growing acceptance of CRED payment instruments, including UPI and credit or affordability products, with a clear emphasis on convenience for members. The role identifies, develops and manages brand partnerships across categories that matter to members, like retail, lifestyle, entertainment, travel, fashion, food delivery and digital services.
Partnership value reaches members through rewards, offers, privileges and experiences. The lead collaborates with design, operations, marketing, growth and product teams to fit these merchant constructs into key product flows and platform surfaces. The role also runs routine partner work: rolling out campaigns, sending reports, resolving problems and tracking results.
The lead finds growth inside existing partnerships, scales the constructs that perform well, and draws on consumer insights and transaction data to spot new openings. The posting asks for at least four years across partnerships, BD, merchant growth, enterprise sales or account management in fintech, commerce, loyalty, consumer internet or digital firms, with a record of measurable results.

Requirements
- Four or more years across partnerships, BD, merchant growth, enterprise sales, or category or account management
- Experience growing brand or merchant partnerships that delivered measurable results
- Grasp of how consumers and merchants interact across several categories
