Role

As the Director of Partnerships, you will be the architect and owner of IRALOGIX's external partnership ecosystem, reporting to the Chief Product Officer (CPO). This role is the commercial and strategic bridge between IRALOGIX's platform and the financial institutions, fintech companies, and enterprise alliances that extend its reach and capabilities.
