Full Job Description

## Description what is CRED?   CRED is an exclusive community for india’s most trustworthy and creditworthy individuals, where the members are rewarded for good financial behavior.    CRED was born out of a need to bring back the focus on a long lost virtue, one of trust, the idea being to create a community centered around this virtue. a community that constantly strives to become more virtuous in this regard till they finally scale their behavior to create a utopia where being trustworthy is the norm and not the exception. to build a community like this requires a community of its own; a community special in its own way, working towards making this vision come true.    here’s a thought experiment: what do you get when you put a group of incredibly passionate and driven people and entrust them with the complete freedom to chase down their goals in a completely uninhibited manner? answer: you get something close to what we have at CRED; CRED just has it better.    You’ll play a pivotal role in leading CRED's partner ecosystem across products, becoming the face of CRED to some of India’s top consumer brands. You will lead high-stakes partnerships, drive product adoption, and enable new growth through strategic merchant alliances. As a core part of the merchant-led growth (mlg) strategy, you’ll shape how millions engage with CRED. ## what you’ll own driving acceptance of CRED payment instruments (upi, credit/affordability) with a sole focus of offering convenience for CRED members hunt, build and manage high-impact brand partnerships across categories relevant to CRED members drive meaningful member value through differentiated rewards, offers, privileges, and experiences work closely with internal cross-functional teams including product, growth, marketing, operations, and design to execute partnership initiatives successfully support the integration of rewards and merchant constructs across key product journeys and platform surfaces drive day-to-day partner manageme
