This includes affiliate marketing but also brand partnerships, podcasts, influencer marketing, etc. We work with leading brands like Canva, Uber, Tesla, Slack, Xero, InVideo, etc., and are in a high growth phase.

ROLE OVERVIEW
We are looking to hire a Senior Associate to staff our accounts. The ideal candidate will have at least one year of affiliate marketing experience and should be able to work well in a team environment. This is a remote role based in USA. This role will assist in driving meaningful growth through traditional and unique opportunities for leading global brands.
This is an exciting and critical position in building and scaling user acquisition with a top-tier agency in the growth stage. The Senior Associate will have exposure to many different aspects of Partnership Marketing and overall company building in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Minimum 1 year of work experience in affiliate/partnership marketing. Agency experience is a plus.
- Comfortable working directly with data — pulling reports, spotting trends, and translating numbers into a story.
- Strong written and verbal communication; you're comfortable on client calls and confident putting together clear, professional recaps.
- A proactive mindset; you look for the next thing to own rather than waiting to be assigned.
- Genuine curiosity about the affiliate marketing landscape and a drive to keep learning.
- Someone who "closes the loop". You follow things through to resolution rather than letting them drift.
- Comfortable with Google Spreadsheets and Microsoft Excel. We work with a lot of data and need to be able to extrapolate and summarize data to optimize and make decisions to present to our clients.
- Experience with Microsoft PowerPoint. There will be many instances that require presenting our work to clients, which will require creating decks as client deliverables.
- Strong attention to detail and analytical skills.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Program Execution & Client Work
- Support the day-to-day planning and execution of affiliate marketing campaigns, including placement collateral, tracking, client sign-off, and interface updates for publisher payments.
- Take on complex project management responsibilities — organizing timelines, assisting with resource allocation, and helping ensure deliverables are met.
- Prepare performance reports and maintain ongoing communication with affiliates to support client objectives.
- Independently lead publisher calls, delivering clear next steps and key takeaways afterward.
- Manage campaigns end-to-end: recruitment, optimization, partner communication, and launch assets.
Client Relationships
- Build strong client relationships through regular email and phone interaction, with moderate support from your manager or team lead.
- Deepen your understanding of client accounts — key challenges, objectives, and industry trends — by actively asking questions and identifying opportunities to improve performance.
Data & Reporting
- Take an active role in data analysis — identifying trends and insights that contribute to data-driven decisions.
- Get comfortable navigating Impact or similar affiliate program management platforms.
- Develop client-facing reports and write-ups.
- Assist with the development of client presentations, including note-taking and follow-ups.
Problem Solving
- Take on ownership of client issues, working closely with senior team members and Account Directors to resolve them efficiently.
- Escalate proactively and use available resources to keep resolution timelines tight.
