Job description

Are you an account manager with experience launching and scaling affiliate programs of all shapes & sizes? Do previous clients rant and rave about how awesome you are? Are you a problem-solver by nature? And now, are you looking to take on the challenge that comes with being part of a new but rapidly growing agency?

If you’re nodding your head along to this, you’re likely the person we’re looking for.

This position is fully-remote and does not require any travel. As one of our first employees, you will be presented with a ton of upside including profit sharing and working side-by-side with the founding team. To remain fully transparent, we will share Jamdesk’s three, six, and twelve month goals during the interview process. We’re looking for someone that sees themselves as a key component of our future.

Who We Are

Jamdesk is an affiliate marketing agency founded in late 2022 by Max Johnson, after nearly a decade in the industry. Now, we’re building Jamdesk into an industry leader by delivering best-in-class partnership services. At our core, we help brands launch and scale affiliate programs. We truly see ourselves as an extension of each brand we work with — which means we regularly take on unique challenges, expand our capabilities, and let data drive our strategies rather than gut instinct.

• Cross-promote brands when relevant
• Support the recruitment of new partners

Analyze and develop data insights

• Build one-off reporting, as needed, to supplement pre-built dashboards
• Analyze data on an ongoing basis, sharing with the client “how, why, and what now” as it relates to performance

Training

• Jamdesk takes full ownership of your onboarding experience. We have a well-developed training plan that will ease you into the affiliate world, establish clear milestones, and define our company culture. Your onboarding will include shadowing opportunities and on-the-job training

Early days

• Familiarize yourself with existing set of clients and their unique goals
• Demonstrate competence completing the key responsibilities with occasional oversight

6-12 months

• Base salary + performance bonuses ($75K+ OTE)
• Dental, health, and vision benefits
