The ideal candidate is able to structure and scale existing acquisition channels to reach significantly higher levels of performance. They use a combination of thoughtful analysis, new processes, and hand-on management to achieve results. This is an opportunity to make an impact by turning established marketing programs into top channels for the company.

What you'll do:

• Lead the growth of our existing affiliate, teacher, and student referral programs. 
• Develop channel plans to increase new subscriptions and revenue, considering performance metrics, marketing funnels, and resources.
• Manage and expand the existing affiliate network, referrals, and direct relationships.
• Hands-on execution and collaboration with our affiliate agency, including goal setting, partner recruitment, campaign deployment, and optimization.
• Optimize flows to increase conversion rates and virality within these channels.
• Develop promotions and incentive structures to maximize growth and meet efficiency.
• Full responsibility for the strategies, budgets, and performance against goals. 

Why we're excited about you:

• 3-5 years experience in a digital marketing role, managing affiliate, referral, or similar channels.
• Experience developing an in-house affiliate or referral program strongly preferred. 
• Hands-on expertise with affiliate platforms (Impact, CJ, Rakuten, etc.) and related technical tasks (pixels, tracking links, reversals, etc.).
• Able to negotiate and structure affiliate relationships for success and net positive results.
• Know how to drive word-of-mouth and craft incentive programs that benefit all sides.
• Evidence of analytical skills, preferably with the use of data, statistics, and/or models.
• Know how to assemble and coordinate resources to achieve sales results.
• Feel a strong sense of ownership for your work and goals.

Why you're excited about us:

• Impact: You will have both support and autonomy to drive results. You’ll take two existing channels and turn them into core areas of growth for the business.
• Growth: You’ll have a key role on a high-visibility team. There will be opportunities to shine professionally and reach new milestones in your career.
