About the Role
We’re looking for a Partnerships Manager who can build the supply side of a next-generation rewards platform. This means sourcing, negotiating, and scaling partnerships across affiliate networks, card-linked offers, receipt upload providers, direct merchants, and ad networks.
This is not a narrow partnerships role. We’re a startup — you’ll be expected to hustle, wear multiple hats, and own the full lifecycle: prospecting, deal-making, onboarding, and optimization. You’ll bring both the operator mindset (roll up your sleeves, get it done) and the industry sophistication to navigate attribution mechanics and partner economics.
What You’ll Do
-
Source & Build Supply
Prospect, pitch, and close partnerships with affiliate networks, card-linked platforms, receipt upload providers, publishers, and direct merchants.
Identify new categories of offers and under-leveraged verticals to grow breadth and depth of the marketplace.
Develop repeatable sourcing playbooks for retail, travel, grocery, lifestyle, and digital commerce.
-
Negotiate & Execute
Own commercial negotiations — ensuring strong economics for both partners and programs.
Structure deals across CPA, revenue share, and hybrid models.
Balance speed of execution with strategic partner value.
-
Integrate & Activate
Work closely with product/ops to ensure seamless onboarding and technical enablement of partners.
Validate attribution methods (affiliate links, card-linked tracking, receipt upload, direct reporting).
Troubleshoot and optimize partner performance.
-
Market Intelligence
Track how networks, ad platforms, and merchants source and scale offers.
Benchmark performance economics against the broader market.
Stay ahead of trends in loyalty, attribution, and payments.
-
Scale & Own Outcomes
Manage the end-to-end pipeline from outreach through activation.
Expand offer supply to fuel enterprise-scale rewards programs.
Be accountable for partner performance and growth targets.
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 4–8 years in partnerships, business development, affiliate/ad networks, card-linked platforms, or performance marketing supply.
Deal Maker: Proven track record of sourcing and closing partnerships with merchants, publishers, or networks.
Technical Understanding: Comfort with attribution mechanics (affiliate, card-linked, receipt upload) and integration workflows.
Market Knowledge: Familiarity with retail, travel, finance, or digital commerce ecosystems — and how merchants think about customer acquisition and loyalty.
Operator Mindset: Startup-ready, self-starter, hands-on. You don’t just make intros; you push deals over the finish line.
Analytical: Data-driven with the ability to evaluate ROI, optimize supply mix, and double down on what works.
Relationship Builder: Skilled negotiator and trusted partner, able to create long-lasting commercial relationships.
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be the one building the engine of partner supply that powers loyalty and rewards programs for millions of users. This is a chance to bring together the fragmented worlds of affiliate, card-linked, receipt upload, and ad network offers into a single scalable system. If you want to operate at the frontier of fintech, rewards, and partnerships — this is it.
