About PartnerCentric

PartnerCentric is a leading performance marketing agency helping brands accelerate growth through Affiliate Marketing, Creator & Influencer Marketing, Strategic Partnerships, and emerging digital channels.

For more than 20 years, we’ve helped some of the world’s most recognized brands build high-performing partner programs that deliver measurable business results. Today, we’re evolving beyond traditional affiliate management to create integrated performance marketing solutions that connect affiliate, creator, content, AI, partnerships, and emerging technologies into one cohesive strategy.

We’re a remote-first company built on ownership, curiosity, innovation, and continuous improvement. We believe the best ideas come from people who ask questions, challenge assumptions, embrace new technology, and are always looking for better ways to serve clients.

If you’re excited about helping shape the future of performance marketing, not simply managing campaigns, you’ll fit right in.

Position Overview

We’re seeking a strategic, results-driven Account Manager with a strong foundation in affiliate marketing and a passion for integrated performance marketing. The ideal candidate brings experience across multiple marketing disciplines, including influencer marketing, creator partnerships, content marketing, paid social, performance PR, or strategic partnerships, and understands how to combine these channels to build innovative, revenue-driving programs for clients.

This role goes beyond traditional account management. We’re looking for someone who is naturally curious, proactive, and always looking for opportunities to grow client programs, strengthen partnerships, improve processes, and uncover new ways to drive performance. You have an entrepreneurial mindset, take ownership of your work, and are comfortable turning ideas into action in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

As an AI-forward organization, we’re also looking for someone who embraces emerging technology and continuously seeks smarter ways to work. Whether it’s using AI to streamline workflows, surface insights, enhance reporting, improve campaign execution, or accelerate strategic thinking, you see AI as an opportunity to deliver greater value, not just work more efficiently.

Success in this role requires equal parts strategist, relationship builder, problem solver, and operator. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to your clients while collaborating closely with internal teams to develop integrated marketing strategies, identify new growth opportunities, and deliver measurable business results.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the strategic advisor and primary point of contact for a portfolio of performance marketing clients.
• Build long-term growth strategies aligned to each client’s business objectives.
• Lead quarterly business reviews, planning sessions, and executive presentations.
• Translate business goals into integrated performance marketing strategies across affiliate, creator, and partner channels.
• Identify new revenue opportunities, market trends, and growth initiatives before clients ask.

Affiliate Marketing Leadership

• Own day-to-day strategy and management of affiliate marketing programs.
• Recruit, activate, optimize, and grow high-value publisher relationships.
• Expand programs across traditional affiliates, commerce content publishers, loyalty partners, technology partners, creators, influencers, and emerging partnership opportunities.
• Continuously evaluate performance and recommend optimization strategies that increase revenue and program efficiency.
• Stay ahead of affiliate industry trends, platform innovations, and competitive opportunities.

Integrated Performance Marketing

• Develop strategies that connect affiliate marketing with complementary channels including influencer marketing, creator partnerships, paid social, content marketing, performance PR, and strategic partnerships.
• Collaborate across internal teams to deliver cohesive, multi-channel marketing initiatives.
• Identify new opportunities to maximize the value of creator content, partner relationships, and performance-driven campaigns.

Campaign Management & Optimization

• Manage campaign execution from planning through launch and ongoing optimization.
• Monitor performance across channels and proactively identify opportunities for improvement.
• Analyze campaign data and translate insights into strategic recommendations.
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and aligned with client expectations.
• Continuously test, learn, and optimize to improve campaign performance.

AI & Innovation

Technology is transforming performance marketing, and we expect our team to stay ahead of it.

You’ll be encouraged to leverage AI to:

• Improve reporting and client communications.
• Accelerate research and competitive analysis.
• Identify performance insights faster.
• Streamline repetitive workflows.
• Enhance campaign execution.
• Develop smarter, more strategic recommendations.

You don’t need to know every AI platform, but you should be excited to learn, experiment, and continuously evolve how you work.

Relationship Management

• Build trusted relationships with clients, publishers, creators, influencers, and strategic partners.
• Present recommendations and performance updates confidently to executive stakeholders.
• Partner closely with internal teams across Client Services, Partnerships, Analytics, Marketing, and Product.

Continuous Improvement

We value builders.

You’ll regularly:

• Recommend new ideas and growth opportunities.

• Help evolve PartnerCentric’s services and ways of working.

• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, remote environment while managing multiple priorities.
• Passion for innovation with a growth mindset and eagerness to leverage AI to improve productivity, strategy, and client outcomes.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable recommendations.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills with experience advising senior client stakeholders.
• Experience with affiliate platforms such as Impact, CJ, Partnerize, Rakuten, ShareASale, or similar.
• Experience using marketing analytics and reporting tools to evaluate program performance and identify optimization opportunities.
