Affiliate and Partnerships Lead

About the role

TradeZella is the AI Trading Partner that every trader needs to find their edge. Traders use TradeZella to track every trade, understand what's actually working, and turn their data into better decisions. We're a rocketship. Traders all over the world have made TradeZella part of their daily routine, and we're growing faster than ever. Now we're looking to add more awesome people to the team to help us go even bigger. Our team is small, scrappy, and obsessed with building the best product for traders. Everyone here owns real outcomes, moves fast, and has a direct line to the impact of their work.

Responsibilities

• Source and close partners. Build a pipeline of trading creators, YouTubers, educators, prop firms, brokers, and communities, then get on calls and close them.
• Own partnership revenue. Set targets, track partner-driven signups and revenue, and optimize relentlessly for what actually converts, not just what drives clicks.
• Run and scale the affiliate program. Own our affiliate platform (Dub), commission structures, tiers, promo codes, and payouts, and make the program something top creators want to be part of.
• Structure creator deals. Design retainers, rev-share, and hybrid deals that are fair to partners and profitable for us, and hold partners accountable to deliverables.
• Re-activate and grow existing partners. Wake up dormant affiliates, identify the partners with the most upside, and help them sell more.

Requirements

• 3+ years in a sales, business development, or partnerships role where you owned a revenue target and closed deals yourself
• Comfortable (and honestly energized) hopping on calls, pitching, negotiating, and asking for the close
• A track record of building or scaling something, not just running what was handed to you
• Strong commercial instincts: you think in CAC, LTV, conversion rates, and payback, and you know when a deal isn't worth doing
• Highly organized, with a CRM or pipeline you actually keep up to date
• Ambitious, scrappy, and fast. You'd rather ship a partner deal this week than write a strategy doc about it next month

Skills

• Experience with affiliate or creator programs at a SaaS or subscription company
• Familiarity with the trading, fintech, or prop firm world (or you trade yourself)
• Hands-on with affiliate platforms like Dub, FirstPromoter, Impact, or PartnerStack, plus Stripe
• An existing network of creators or communities in the trading space
