- You’ve been responsible for managing affiliate payouts before -- and making sure they get paid out accurate amounts, and on time.
- You have serious marketing chops. You understand marketing funnels, conversion rates, EPC, etc.
- You’re the type of person who loves working across teams. You’ll need to coordinate with our designers, front-end team, copywriters and engineering team all the time.
- You are insanely organized. There are A LOT of moving parts in an affiliate program.
- You’re metrics-driven. You’ll be responsible for helping us hit a revenue target. Think of yourself as the CEO of our affiliate program.

- A proven record of working well with a team of other marketers, plus designers, developers, etc. to GSD
- Ability to understand and utilize the technological components underlying the affiliate program and communicate with engineers about potential changes to that technology.
