About the role
- As AI-mediated search reshapes how buyers research enterprise AI, agentic, and SaaS software, referral partnerships and affiliates become a critical opportunity of buyer acquisition alongside organic and paid channels.
- This is a hybrid business development and growth marketing role spanning product-led partnerships, affiliate and media channel programs, and emerging buyer-discovery surfaces.
- Define the partnership portfolio: which motions matter, at what depth, and how they differ by brand.
Responsibilities
- Own the referral pillar's OKRs - buyer traffic, qualified traffic share, referral-attributed revenue, and source diversification - across all four brands.
- Build a prioritization framework balancing quick wins (vendor badges, podcasts, review sites) against strategic bets (cloud marketplaces, VC/PE portfolio programs, AI buyer-discovery surfaces).
- Identify, prioritize, and develop a diversified portfolio of partnership types that will drive Buyer traffic or users - spanning ecosystem and channel partners, affiliate and media partners, content and community partners, distributed product-led referral channels, and emerging buyer-discovery surfaces.
- Source, evaluate, and structure deals across a range of commercial models - including rate-card and CPA media buys, affiliate commission and rev-share structures, strategic data and integration partnerships, and zero-cost product-led arrangements - selecting the right model for the partner and the motion.
- Negotiate and manage partnership agreements end-to-end, from initial sourcing through contracting, launch, performance management, and renewal or wind-down.
- Build the operating infrastructure to manage partnerships at scale - partner platforms, tracking and attribution, onboarding workflows, and a self-serve layer for the long tail.
- Drive scalable onboarding and enablement resources for integration partners, including technical documentation, sandbox environments, and integration guides.
- Work cross-functionally with Product and Engineering to support partner development and ensure smooth integration experiences.
- Establish the referral dashboard in partnership with Insights & Planning: traffic, revenue, GP by partner, partner-sourced pipeline.
- Use data to identify top-performing partners, optimize incentive structures, and prioritize investment across ecosystem and affiliate programs.
Requirements
- 8+ years in growth, partnerships, marketing, or business development at a B2B SaaS, marketplace, or media company - with at least 3 years carrying a revenue or traffic number.
Nice to have
- You don't wait for a playbook - you write one, pressure-test it, and scrap it when it stops working.
- Experience with affiliate networks at scale (Impact.com http://Impact.com, PartnerStack, CJ, Awin), cloud marketplace partnerships (AWS, Azure, GCP, Salesforce), or B2B media buying / publisher ecosystems.
- Background in software marketplaces, review sites, or buyer-discovery platforms
- familiarity with G2's category and buyer journey a plus.
- Exposure to AI-mediated search and emerging buyer-discovery surfaces - citation strategy, plugin/agent integrations, AEO.
- If you don't have direct experience here, demonstrate a strong POV on where this is heading.
- PE-backed or multi-brand company experience
- comfortable operating across multiple brand P&Ls with different buyer profiles.
Compensation
- With 200M+ combined annual visitors and 6M verified reviews, we are now the centralized place to enable software buyers to make better and faster decisions with confidence.
