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.
