Affiliate Partnership Development Coordinator

The Partnership Development Coordinator will work under the leadership of DMi Partners’ Director of Partnership Development. As our Partnership Development Coordinator, you will be responsible for maximizing growth for our clients through building affiliate partnership opportunities. In this entry-level role, you will receive extensive training to equip you with the knowledge to succeed in this emerging and exciting world of Affiliate Marketing. You will work closely with some of the world’s largest publishing houses, influencers, and websites to secure promotional opportunities on behalf of DMi’s brands.

DMi Partners’ Affiliate team is a creative and collaborative group that builds and strengthens clients’ innovative marketing strategies. The Affiliate team is the largest team within DMi. However, we utilize a pod structure that ensures you’ll receive mentorship for the job and industry-specific needs and teammates that cultivate a solid channel of information exchange.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Learn: You will go through an in-depth training process and develop a deep understanding of affiliate marketing, the key stakeholders, optimal partnership relationships, DMi’s core differentiators, and DMi best practices that result in success for our clients. Week after week, you will be expected to build upon your knowledge and use that knowledge to support your team members and our clients.

Collaborate: We have two different teams at DMi that support our affiliate business: our client account management team and our partnership development team. Both teams are vital to both DMi and our clients’ success. You will work as a team with your partnership development pod and client account management to identify and recruit key partners and determine how to best sustain our affiliate partnerships.

Relationship Management: Partnership Development is all about building relationships; relationships with clients, affiliate partners, and brands. You will be educating partners on the value of affiliate channels. You will also maintain a rapport with our existing partner base and drive the growth of our roster and promotional placements.

Research and Assessment: You will need to stay up to date with program goals and actively recruit new targets. You will also consistently conduct audits to ensure partner compliance and proper exposure.

Grow: Each week, you will be expected to grow on the foundational knowledge of what you were taught the previous week. Coordinators are expected to continuously take on more and get to a place where they are comfortable independently leading client initiatives.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• You have a bachelor’s degree
• You have excellent communication skills – both verbal and written
• You are proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite
• You are resilient and determined
• You are a creative, out of the box thinker
