Senior Partner Manager, Accounting

About Numeral Numeral is transforming how taxes get done. Digital businesses are currently bogged down by a painful web of regulations across 47 states and 70+ countries. We’re eliminating this burden so teams can focus on their core mission. We’re the largest and fastest-growing AI-native tax solution. Started in 2023, Numeral has raised over $57M from Benchmark, Mayfield, Y-Combinator, and many others. We now serve over 3,000 paying customers and have more than tripled our revenue every year in our history. We’re primarily hiring in our SF and NY offices, but do hire remotely in some cases. Mission Running an online business today means wearing a thousand hats, most of them not the reason founders started their company. Our mission is to eliminate the administrative and accounting burdens that distract businesses from doing what they love. We’ve already helped thousands of businesses avoid the headache of building giant finance teams just to manage tax compliance. Tomorrow, we’re scaling that impact even further: building the automation layer that lets internet businesses stay nimble, compliant, and future-proof. About the role We're hiring a Senior Partner Alliance Manager, Accounting to build and own Numeral's relationships with our largest and most strategic accounting firm partners. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of shaping and expanding our market presence, driving a critical engine of our company's success. This is not a transactional, referral-only role; you'll create partnerships from the ground up, bringing the creativity and drive of someone building something new rather than managing something already established. You'll be measured on the full health of each partnership: referrals, joint marketing, enablement, and the strategic initiatives you build together. This role requires a unique blend of relationship management, channel sales strategy, and operational rigor paired with the hunger and dynamism to match the pace Numeral is moving at. We're looking for a go-getter who's genuinely driven to make a visible, outsized impact: someone who builds the playbook while running the play, thrives on creating structure where none exists yet, and is energized rather than slowed down by a fast-changing environment.
