This is a high-impact, high-ownership opportunity for a data-driven marketer who’s excited to shape how millions discover and join Dave.

• Own Strategy & Execution: Set and drive strategy for all affiliate and emerging channel programs (partnerships, influencers, content, and beyond).
• Scale & Innovate: Identify, vet, and onboard new partners, keeping Dave ahead in the evolving user acquisition landscape.
• Relationship Management: Build and nurture strong partnerships; proactively seek new opportunities and negotiate deals.
• Campaign Management: Use platforms like Impact to recruit, onboard, and manage affiliates; monitor, optimize, and innovate payout structures.
• Optimize for Quality: Analyze user traffic, mitigate fraud, and drive high-quality, retained growth. Turn data into creative, testable solutions.
• Performance Analytics: Dive deep into analytics—measure, report, and use insights to optimize every campaign and share learnings company-wide.
• Creative Collaboration: Partner with internal creative teams to develop assets; turn competitive insights into actionable, testable opportunities.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Work closely with Legal, Compliance, Product, and Analytics to launch compliant, effective, and industry-leading campaigns.
• Mentorship & Leadership: Lead by influence—mentor teammates, manage agency/vendor relationships, and share best practices.

Requirements

• Proficiency in affiliate management and analytics platforms (e.g., Impact, Partnerize).
• Strong analytical mindset—translates data into strategy and action.
• Exceptional relationship-building, communication, negotiation, and cross-team leadership skills.
• Self-starter with a builder’s mindset—you see opportunities where others see ambiguity and enjoy taking new programs “from zero to one.”
• A passion for growth, impact, and helping millions access better financial solutions.
