Partnership Activation Expert

Bellota Labs is a fast-growing technology company building the next generation of poker experiences. We operate ClubWPT Gold, a poker training site backed by the World Poker Tour (WPT), and work with some of the biggest names in poker to bring players together through content, competition, and community.

About the Role

Our partnerships team powers the ambassador and affiliate programs for ClubWPT Gold, working with leading poker creators such as Brad Owen, Doug Polk, Phil Ivey, Rampage, and Wolfgang.

We also support content-driven initiatives such as Poker Champs, a WPT-backed creator poker tournament, and manage user acquisition through internal and external partners, including Upswing Poker.

We’re looking for a Partnership Activation Expert to own the day-to-day execution of these programs to keep them running smoothly. You’ll serve as an operational point of contact for ambassadors and affiliates, coordinate projects across creative, product, and data teams, and help turn partnership opportunities into successful activations.

This is a hands-on role for someone who knows poker, understands the creator ecosystem, and can independently drive projects from request to completion in a fast-paced, remote environment. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with recognizable names in poker and contribute to programs that reach players across the industry.

Creative & Cross-Functional Support

• Pull creative assets and supporting materials for presentations, partner decks, and internal projects.

• Coordinate the creation of promotional graphics and other marketing materials.

• Take ownership of miscellaneous operational tasks and special projects as needed to keep the team moving.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong poker knowledge: You understand the game and its culture. Familiarity with poker content, creators, and the broader poker community is especially valuable.

• Autonomy and initiative: You can work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment, take loosely defined tasks, and figure out what needs to happen next.

• Cross-functional collaboration: You can coordinate with multiple teams, follow up on outstanding deliverables, and drive projects through to completion.

Nice to Have

• Experience working on a creator’s team, at a poker media company, poker training site, live-stream production team, or as a stream producer or moderator.

• Experience supporting CRM campaigns, including email and SMS.

• Basic design or video editing skills using tools like Canva, Figma, Adobe Premiere, or CapCut.

• Familiarity with Discord, OBS, and co-streaming setups.

• Exposure to affiliate marketing, influencer partnerships, sponsorships, or creator activation programs.
