Historically, our existing partner ecosystem—anchored by payment partners like Global Payments and Square, alongside strategic alliance partners like Avalara, SPS Commerce, and Shopify—have been a passively managed revenue stream. This position is being created to increase the impact of this strategic imperative.</span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(31, 31, 31); font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt\">We want to bring in a strategic, driven leader to shift us from a passive to an active partner across the board. While your paramount focus and top priority will be adding $100M in net-new annual partner volume over the next 12 months, you will also be responsible for maximizing the recurring revenue generated by our entire ISV and alliance partner network. This role will focus on driving adoption, optimizing contracts, creating new volume channels, and deepening our market presence with top-tier ecosystem partners.</span></p>\n<p><br><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(31, 31, 31);
