• 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
• You have experience working with social influencers at a Direct Response leve
• 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.
• You love people. You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with hundreds (if not thousands) of influencers and affiliates.

Qualifications

• ‌An deep understanding of blogging, online marketing, and online course space
• 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.
