Rho is the modern banking platform built for the AI era. Startups and growth-stage companies can open accounts in minutes, issue cards, manage expenses, pay bills, and close the books – all in one connected platform backed by real human support.

Rho is looking for a Partnerships Associate to help scale our VC and strategic partnerships engine. You'll work directly with the Head of VC Partnerships across the full partnership lifecycle — supporting relationships with venture funds, building out strategic service provider partnerships, assisting in negotiations, and setting up the systems that keep everything running.

What you'd do

  • Support day-to-day management of relationships with venture funds and their platform teams
  • Prepare briefing materials, meeting agendas, and follow-ups for partner conversations
  • Track referral activity and pipeline from VC partners; flag stalled deals and surface opportunities
  • Help coordinate co-marketing, events, and portfolio-facing initiatives with fund partners
  • Conduct research on prospective fund partners and their portfolios
  • Identify, evaluate, and help onboard service provider partners (law firms, accounting firms, banks-adjacent services, startup tooling, etc.)
  • Own the operational side of partner launches: agreements, enablement materials, and internal rollout
  • Monitor partner performance against goals and prepare quarterly reviews
  • Assist in preparing partner materials: perk pages, partner comms, etc.
  • Draft and redline partnership terms alongside the Head of VC Partnerships and legal

What they want

  • 0–2 years of experience in partnerships, BD, VC platform, banking, consulting, or a similar fast-paced role (strong internships count)
  • Exceptionally organized — you naturally track details, deadlines, and follow-ups without being asked
  • Strong written and verbal communicator, comfortable interfacing with senior external stakeholders
  • Systems thinker who enjoys building processes and working in tools like Salesforce, Notion, and spreadsheets
  • Curious about venture capital, startups, and fintech
  • Low ego, high ownership — willing to do whatever moves the deal forward
  • Based in San Francisco and will come in office 5 days a week
