This role serves as a trusted strategic advisor to clients while partnering closely with PartnerCentric’s Affiliate, Creator & Influencer, Data & Insights, Marketing, Product, and other internal teams to deliver integrated strategies and exceptional client outcomes.\nThe ideal candidate has deep affiliate and partnership marketing expertise along with experience across complementary disciplines such as creator and influencer marketing, content, paid social, performance PR, or strategic partnerships. You understand how these channels work together and can help clients identify the right combination of strategies, partners, and investments to achieve their broader business objectives.\nThis is more than a traditional account management role. We’re looking for someone who can move comfortably between high-level strategy and hands-on execution-anticipating client needs, identifying growth opportunities, navigating complex challenges, interpreting performance data, and bringing proactive recommendations around where the market is moving and how clients should respond.\nAs an AI-forward organization, we’re also looking for someone who embraces emerging technology and actively uses AI to work smarter, uncover insights, improve client deliverables, and accelerate strategic thinking.\nThis is a remote position, but candidates must reside and physically perform the work within the United States.

ask.\nDevelop recommendations and business cases that help clients confidently make investment and budget decisions.\nNavigate complex client challenges and escalations while maintaining strong relationships and trust.\nBuild trusted relationships across multiple levels of client organizations, including senior and executive stakeholders.\nAffiliate & Performance Marketing Strategy\nLead strategy and performance for sophisticated affiliate and partnership marketing programs.\nDevelop strategies that drive sustainable revenue growth, efficiency, incrementality, and customer acquisition.\nRecruit, activate, optimize, and grow high-value publisher and partner relationships.\nExpand programs across traditional affiliates, commerce content publishers, loyalty and CLO

incrementality, transparency, and strategic value.\nDevelop testing strategies across publishers, placements, commission structures, creative approaches, and emerging partnership models.\nStay ahead of affiliate and performance marketing trends, network developments, platform innovations, and competitive opportunities.\nBring relevant market intelligence and new partnership opportunities proactively to clients.\nIntegrated Performance Marketing\nDevelop strategies connecting affiliate marketing with creator and influencer marketing, content, paid social, performance PR, AI Visibility, and strategic partnerships.\nLook beyond individual channels to identify the combination of partnerships and services most likely to achieve client business objectives.\nCollaborate with internal subject-matter experts to develop cohesive, multi-channel strategies.\nHelp clients understand how affiliate, creator, content, partnerships, and emerging channels can work together rather than operating as siloed initiatives.\nIdentify opportunities to expand existing client relationships into additional PartnerCentric capabilities.\nPosition PartnerCentric as an integrated strategic partner rather than solely an affiliate program manager.\nPerformance Analysis & Optimization\nOwn performance against client KPIs, budgets, forecasts, and growth objectives.\nAnalyze complex performance data and translate findings into clear strategic recommendations.\nBuild forecasts, projections, testing plans, and business cases to support client investment decisions.\nDevelop and

performance or client trust.\nPartner with Data & Insights and other internal specialists to resolve measurement challenges and identify new optimization opportunities.\nContinuously test, learn, and optimize programs based on performance data, client goals, and market insights.\nDevelop reporting and presentations that connect program performance to meaningful business outcomes.\nClient Growth &
