Career
Core
Community Partnerships Manager (Portugal)
About Bleap
Bleap is building a new kind of financial account at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. We are a MiCA-authorised fintech supervised by Latvijas Banka, offering customers a simple way to manage, move and use their money.
We are a small, fast-moving team focused on turning complex financial infrastructure into simple and intuitive products. As we grow across Europe, we are looking for people who take ownership, solve problems and want to help build the systems behind a world-class customer experience.
The role
We are looking for a Community Partnerships Manager to build and run the relationships that bring Brazilians in Portugal to Bleap outside of paid and creator channels.
This is not a traditional BD role. You will figure out, largely on your own judgement, who the people and organizations are that Brazilians already trust when they move to or live in Portugal, reach out to them, and test which partnerships and offers actually drive signups.
As the channel proves out, this role has the potential to grow into owning a broader partnerships function across new markets as Bleap expands beyond Portugal.
What you'll be doing
Partnerships & Community
- Identify and prioritize the people, organizations, and communities most relevant to Brazilians moving to or living in Portugal — this is yours to map out, not a fixed list
- Reach out, build relationships, and negotiate partnership terms with the partners you identify
- Test and iterate on partnership offers (e.g. referral bonuses, preferential FX on first transaction, cashback boosts, co-branded educational content, ambassador programs) to find what actually converts
- Represent Bleap in the communities and spaces where Brazilians already gather, online and offline, in a way that builds trust rather than feeling like advertising
- Track and report on which partners and offers drive signups and quality transactions, not just introductions
- Work closely with Marketing to align partnership messaging with the broader launch and content calendar
- Feed learnings back into how we prioritize and structure future partnerships, including in new markets
What we're looking for
- 1–3+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, community management, or growth marketing, ideally with exposure to fintech, migrant/expat communities, or a similar network-driven channel
- A strong instinct for figuring out who the right partners and communities are, without being handed a list
- Comfortable doing outbound outreach and negotiating terms with small businesses, independent professionals, and community organizers
- Strong relationship-building skills and cultural fluency with the Brazilian diaspora in Portugal
- Analytical enough to track what's working and kill what isn't, rather than relying on gut feel
- Excellent written and verbal skills in both Portuguese and English
- A proactive, ownership-driven approach — this channel is being built from scratch, including deciding where to focus
- Comfortable with ambiguity: the target partners, communities, and offers are all still being discovered and tested, not fixed
Nice to have
- Existing relationships within Brazilian or migrant/expat communities in Portugal
- Experience with referral or affiliate programs
- Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or crypto
- Experience launching a new channel or market from zero
Why Bleap
You will join at an early stage of a brand-new channel, with direct ownership over how we build trust with the Brazilian community in Portugal outside of paid media.
You will work closely with Marketing and Growth, with visibility into how this channel performs against creator and paid acquisition, and room to shape the partnerships playbook as we expand into new markets.
