- Work with internal teams and external partners to support onboarding and technical integrations.
- Monitor lead quality, volume, revenue, and profitability to identify opportunities for growth.
- Develop strategies to increase profitable volume from high-performing partners.
- Represent LeadVision at affiliate, performance marketing, and lead-generation conferences.
- Stay informed on industry trends, technologies, platforms, and emerging partnership opportunities.
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Operations, Technology, and leadership.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in affiliate marketing, publisher development, strategic partnerships, business development, performance marketing, or lead generation.
- Experience directly managing publisher, affiliate, network, or lead-generation partnerships.
- Proven ability to develop new business through outbound prospecting and relationship-building.
- Strong understanding of CPL and performance-based lead-generation models.
- Experience negotiating pricing, payouts, volume, and performance-based agreements.
- Familiarity with Ping/Post, lead distribution, bidding, lead routing, and/or real-time lead-generation environments.

What Success Looks Like
In your first several months, you’ll focus on understanding LeadVision’s existing partner ecosystem, building strong relationships with current partners, and developing a pipeline of new opportunities.
Success ultimately means growing LeadVision’s partner network, lead supply, and revenue while maintaining strong quality and profitability.
The Person We’re Looking For
You’re a relationship builder who can walk into a conference and comfortably start a conversation, but you don’t rely solely on an existing network to create opportunities. You’re equally comfortable picking up the phone, prospecting into a new company, and building a relationship from scratch.
You understand the lead-generation ecosystem, follow through consistently, and know that the strongest partnerships are built over time.
Most importantly, you don’t simply manage partnerships. You grow them.
