Skills

• Qualified candidates must be based in the United States
• You take pride in your work: You care about the details, hold yourself to a high standard, and want to produce work you're proud to put in front of a client
• You're a self-directed learner and problem solver: We provide training and support, but we expect you to take ownership of learning. You should be comfortable researching problems, reading platform documentation, completing certifications, learning new tools, and making a real effort to find solutions independently
• You retain and apply what you learn: Training should make you increasingly capable and independent. You can take what you've learned and apply it to new situations and challenges
• You're exceptionally organized: You'll manage multiple clients, publishers, projects, meetings, deadlines, and priorities. You should be someone others can depend on to know what's happening, what needs to happen next, and when it's due
• You're confident with clients: You communicate clearly, come to meetings prepared, explain performance and recommendations confidently, and can navigate challenging conversations professionally
• You're a strategic thinker: You don't just ask, “What do I need to do?” You think about what we're trying to accomplish, why we're doing it, and whether there's a better approach
• You want to grow: You're motivated to develop your skills, take on greater responsibility, and build a career—not simply find your next job
• • Hands-on experience managing ecommerce affiliate programs
• • Hands-on working experience with Impact, AvantLink, and Rakuten Advertising
• • Experience with publisher recruitment, optimization, reporting, offers, commissions, links, and promotional activity
• • Client-facing experience and confidence communicating directly with clients
• • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• • Exceptional organizational and time-management skills
• • Ability to work independently and remain accountable in a remote environment
• • Strong understanding of ecommerce and digital marketing
