Your Role at impact.com:
You'll own two strategic publisher initiatives at impact.com.

Second, you'll be the primary relationship owner with a large strategic publisher platform partner, managing the day-to-day partnership, recruiting brands onto a new publisher program, and ensuring the program runs smoothly on our platform.

Publisher Migration: Support & Continuity

• Be the key contact for migrating publishers during their transition, answering questions about the migration process and how impact.com's platform works compared to their current setup
• Ensure every contract and relationship that moves over transfers successfully; track progress, identify blockers early, and escalate to technical or management teams when needed
• Work with technical teams on any technical implementations or integrations submitted by publishers to ensure they're properly handled and the publisher is supported through setup
• Monitor advertiser and publisher satisfaction throughout the migration; proactively address concerns and ensure that revenue is preserved and relationships stay intact
• Coordinate with onboarding, customer success, and technical support teams to ensure publishers feel supported and the transition is as smooth as possible
Strategic Publisher Partnership: Relationship & Growth

• Work with the partner to identify, qualify, and onboard new brands onto the program; help explain how the program works and position it as a growth channel for their businesses
• Monitor the program's health and performance—track adoption, engagement, and results; identify what's working and what needs adjustment to optimize
• Work internally with product, technical teams, and partners to solve problems, address bottlenecks, and improve how the program operates on our platform
• Build and maintain relationships with key partner stakeholders to ensure alignment, advocacy, and continued investment in the partnership
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Build strong working relationships with internal teams: Customer Growth, Support/Customer Solutions, Product, Onboarding, and Technical Services
• Communicate regularly with management about migration progress, partner relationship health, publisher/advertiser satisfaction, and any emerging issues

• Share feedback and insights from publishers and partners with product and leadership to inform roadmap decisions and program improvements
