About the Role

You will own the strategy and day-to-day operation of our affiliate and KOL programs, from identifying and recruiting high-potential partners to negotiating terms, launching campaigns, managing relationships, and measuring performance. You will identify, evaluate, recruit, and manage affiliates, creators, traders, educators, and community leaders across priority platforms and regions. You will negotiate compensation, referral structures, and performance incentives while managing the complete partner lifecycle.

This is a highly hands-on role where you combine relationship-building skills with commercial judgment, crypto-native market knowledge, and a rigorous approach to performance, working closely with Growth, Content, Product, Business Development, Legal, and regional teams.
