Partnership /
Affiliate Manager

About the role

SmartShop is an Apple Developer account provider for developers, app studios, and media buying teams. We have been operating since 2024 and have already delivered more than 2,000 accounts to our clients.

We are launching a new partnership development function and are looking for a Partnership / Affiliate Manager. The main objective is to identify potential partners, establish contact with them, present SmartShop, propose suitable collaboration opportunities, and build long-term relationships.

An important part of this position is becoming a public representative of SmartShop: participating in content creation, developing a professional social media presence, and representing the company at industry events. We plan to invest in the employee's media visibility, making this a great opportunity for someone who wants to build a personal brand and become recognized within the industry.

This is a new function, but all work will be carried out with the support of a manager who will help you understand the product, processes, strategy, and its implementation. We are looking for someone interested in long-term cooperation who is ready to learn, test new approaches, make mistakes, and grow together with the company.

What you will be doing

• Identify potential partners among industry media, services, communities, affiliate networks, and media buying teams, and conduct initial outreach through chats, email, social media, calls, and online meetings.
• Present SmartShop and propose suitable collaboration formats, including placement on our website, partner referrals, joint publications, integrations, and other activities.
• Negotiate terms, onboard new partners, maintain regular communication, and develop a partner network capable of bringing in new clients.
• Maintain the CRM by recording agreements, negotiation statuses, and next steps.
• Collaborate with the manager, sales department, marketing team, and other team members.
• Represent SmartShop at industry conferences, meetups, and other events, participate in content creation, and develop a professional social media presence.
