• Onboarding & Nesting: Take full ownership of partner onboarding, App setup, and initial performance (nesting/incubation during the first 30 days) to ensure high initial growth and long-term success.

• Commercial Strategy & Upselling: Drive revenue expansion by negotiating fair commission structures and upselling secondary services such as in-app promotions and ads during acquisition.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal teams (Account Management, Operations, Marketing, HQ, and Regional teams) to build seamless solutions for new partners.

• Ownership of Targets: Take total accountability for your sales funnel and targets, operating with a strong bias for action and a relentless drive to overachieve.
