Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end partnerships function — from building the strategy to signing the deals to tracking what's actually working.
• Build and manage the Affiliate Program: scout, recruit, onboard affiliates; build commission structures, tracking links, and payout workflows; own performance reviews; manage platforms like Impact, PartnerStack, or similar.
• Identify and pursue mutually beneficial Brand Partnerships — co-marketing, co-branded campaigns, cross-promotions; negotiate and close deals built on shared value; build long-term relationships.
• Run the full partnership lifecycle: outreach → negotiation → contracts → sample fulfillment → content tracking → payout → review.
• Create and maintain the operational infrastructure — templates, SOPs, tracking systems.
• Report on partnership performance to Marketing leadership with clear insights and recommendations.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in partnerships, affiliate marketing, or business development — ideally in DTC, food, health, or a consumer brand
• Experience with affiliate platforms (Impact, CJ, PartnerStack, ShareASale) is a plus
• You know how to find the right partners, pitch mutual value, and close without being pushy
• You're operationally rigorous — you don't drop the ball on fulfillment, contracts, or payouts
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and can create structure where there isn't any
• You think in terms of long-term relationship value, not just first-deal metrics
• You're a strong communicator — externally with partners, internally with the team
