About the role

Build a world-class holistic affiliate and referral marketing strategy. You’ll determine, pitch, and implement core changes to the program to scale impact and improve efficiency.
Own all affiliate, referral and rev-share operations and reporting. As the owner of the program, you’ll “be in the weeds” executing the tactical plan every day to drive growth.
Improve relationships with current affiliates and recruit new ones – with a particular emphasis on larger creators. You’ll be one of their key points of contact at Circle, along with our partnerships team, and a guide for them to improve their own referral strategies.
Mobilize partners to advocate on behalf of Circle, across marketing channels, to support relevant marketing initiatives (like product launches).

Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet.
You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5.
5+ years of experience in performance marketing, with a proven track record of growing an affiliate, customer referral and/or revenue share program — ideally for a SaaS business or consumer subscription service.
Organized, proactive, and always on top of things. There are a lot of moving pieces in affiliate marketing and revenue share programs. The details add up.
You’re genuinely passionate about affiliate marketing, and keep up with the evolving affiliate marketing landscape.
Driven to win: you get energized seeing the needle move and you’re always looking for an edge to improve performance.
You have a strong handle on data analysis and are a compelling data storyteller, able to derive and share meaningful insights and powerful recommendations from your analyses.
