About the Role

You'll own the strategy and day-to-day operations of Helium 10's affiliate program. This means building out a high-performing team that recruits, onboards, and supports our affiliate partners while hitting aggressive partner and revenue targets. You're the bridge between our partners and the company, so you'll need to be scrappy, data-driven, and genuinely invested in making our affiliates successful.

The affiliate channel is a key growth lever for Helium 10, and this role comes with real autonomy to shape how we approach partnership strategy, pricing structures, commission models, and everything in between. You'll work closely with marketing, product, and leadership to ensure the affiliate program stays aligned with company goals while staying competitive in the market.

Responsibilities

• Design competitive commission structures and partner incentive programs that drive both growth and revenue

• Build and lead the Affiliate function across distributed locations (US, Philippines, China), including hiring and developing team leads/managers who run day-to-day execution, while you set OKRs and own performance outcomes for the discipline as a whole.
