Build the super-app and fintech partnership engine that powers Asia (ex-China) mobility, commerce, payments, and instant-delivery ecosystems.

Coverage: Asia (ex-China)

Languages: English required. Mandarin a strong plus; bicultural fluency between English business contexts and Chinese-speaking enterprise clients is highly valued.

Reports to: CEO

Level: VP or Director. We hire based on operating shape, not title. Strong Director-level operators with 8+ years of scale-up partnerships experience will be considered at Director title with VP promotion on first $5M+ ARR named-ICP deal close.

About Elife

We build and operate the infrastructure. Our partners own the brand and customer relationship. We do not compete for our partners' users. — this is not marketing copy. It is our operating principle.

We are the world's most trusted B2B Super App Enabler — the infrastructure that lets enterprises connect, extend, and scale mobility and delivery services globally through one integration, without building or operating the underlying network themselves. If you want to build enterprise infrastructure at global scale, and you want to do it with a team that ships fast and gives operators real ownership, Elife is where you belong.

Elife is a global company: teams in 22 countries across North America, LATAM, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Working language: English.

How we operate

We are an AI-first organisation operating at AI-first tempo. Our engineering, operations, and partnership teams ship work in weeks that used to take quarters. Partnership operators who do not think in those cycles will not feel at home here.

Founder-mode operators only. We build. We do not maintain.

Why this role, why now

Elife is expanding its partnership footprint across Asia (ex-China) — spanning super-app operators (mobility-led, delivery-led, financial-led), wallet and fintech platforms, and adjacent ecosystems where these categories converge into a single operating stack. This seat owns that territory end-to-end. We are hiring the operator who will run the pipeline, structure the deals, and build the sponsor relationships that scale it.

Build-mode seat, not a maintenance role. You will own the Asia ex-China partnership P&L from day one, work directly with the founder team, and shape the regional partnerships team once first milestones are cleared. Operates outside of our existing Greater China and Global Strategic Anchor portfolio (owned separately by the Greater China and Global Strategic Accounts team).

What you will own

  • End-to-end P&L for strategic partnerships across Asia ex-China — super-app (mobility-led, delivery-led, and financial-led), e-commerce marketplaces with embedded wallets, and wallet/fintech operators, treated as one connected ecosystem. This territory operates outside of our existing Greater China and Global Strategic Anchor portfolio (owned separately by the Greater China and Global Strategic Accounts team).
  • Greenfield pipeline build across tier-1 super-app, wallet, and fintech operators throughout Southeast Asia, India, Japan, Korea, and Middle East.
  • Commercial structures across our six integration surfaces — API, SDK, AI Agentic, White-Label, H5, Mini-Programs — in lockstep with Engineering and Product.
  • Team build and board-grade reporting on pipeline ACV, sponsor coverage, pilot conversion, and partner health each quarter.

What we are looking for

Founder-mindset operators who have BUILT (not maintained) partnerships inside a tier-1 tech scale-up. What we care about is how you operate, not the title on your resume. Specifically:

  • Eight to fifteen years running partnerships or business development at a tier-1 Asian tech scale-up or global tech scale-up with Asia presence: Grab, Gojek, GoTo, Sea/Shopee, Rakuten, LINE, PayPay, Toss, Kakao Pay, Razorpay, Paytm, PhonePe, GCash, Airbnb APAC, Stripe APAC, Adyen APAC, Uber APAC (historical), DoorDash APAC, Shopify APAC, Coupang, Traveloka, Careem, or equivalent-caliber operator. Multinational enterprise or consulting-firm backgrounds without operator time inside a scale-up will not fit here.
  • Strong bonus weight for candidates who have shipped revenue at wallet-first or payments-native platforms — GrabPay, GoTo Wallet, PayPay, Toss, Kakao Pay, Paytm Wallet, PhonePe, GCash, TrueMoney, LINE Pay, Razorpay, Stripe APAC, Adyen APAC, Rappi (Latam-adjacent) — where the wallet interface drives the fastest Phase 1 conversion velocity.
  • Closed seven to eight-figure annual contracts and architected bidirectional commercial structures: revenue share, take-rate, white-label licensing, mini-program revenue splits, wallet revenue splits, embedded finance fee splits. Named counterparties with size and structure — cumulative-portfolio claims without individual $5M+ ARR named-deal evidence do not qualify.
  • Product-fluent partnership operator. Hands-on with the technical artefacts — API contracts, SDK integration plans, mini-program approval flows, wallet integration flows, embedded payments compliance, AI Agentic surfaces. You think in product terms, not just relationship management.
  • AI-native operating tempo. Comfortable working alongside LLM-agentic product surfaces, using AI tools to accelerate diligence, deal-shaping, and portfolio management.
  • Bicultural fluency between English business contexts and Chinese-speaking enterprise clients is a real differentiator — the ability to operate inside a Singapore-based English-first team while engaging Mandarin-speaking sponsors at regional clients with mainland-China outbound or inbound business surfaces.
  • Ecosystem builder mindset. You can map the Asia ex-China super-app, wallet, and fintech landscape across the core regional markets and architect a sequenced go-to-market — including adjacent surfaces like e-commerce-embedded wallets, OTA super-app integrations, device OEM partnerships, and gaming payments platforms.
  • Entrepreneur signal strongly valued. Angel investing, advisory roles at early-stage startups, VC-scout or fellow programs, board seats at pre-Series-B companies, or prior founder / co-founder time (current or historical) are all strong positive signals. We are hiring operators who think like builders and investors, not corporate lifers.
  • High judgement under ambiguity. Founder-led decisions move fast; accountability is direct.

What we offer

  • Founder-aligned engagement and a real regional P&L. Compensation package — base, variable, and equity participation — is discussed directly with selected finalists and structured to match the autonomy and upside of a senior commercial builder. Variable and equity components are tied to defined commercial milestones — pipeline ACV, sponsor coverage, pilot conversion — not vanity activity metrics. Equity participation reflects the founder-team weight of this seat.
  • You are part of the leadership team — builder, hunter, and commercial architect for your territory. Direct working relationship with the founder team. No layers between you and the strategic decisions.
  • Greenfield territory ownership. Real budget. Real partner targets. Freedom to build your regional partnerships team once first pipeline milestones are cleared.
  • Working language: English. Cross-region team in 22 countries.
