Employment Type: Full-TimeAbout the RoleLeadVision is looking for an experienced Performance Partnerships Manager to grow and expand our network of publishers, affiliates, and lead-generation partners. This is a relationship-driven role for someone who understands the performance marketing and lead-generation space and knows how to turn strong industry relationships into profitable, long-term partnerships. You’ll manage existing partners, develop new opportunities, represent LeadVision at industry events, and work closely with internal teams to support partner growth and integrations.

What You’ll Do: Manage and grow relationships with existing publishers, affiliates, networks, and lead-generation partners. Identify, prospect, recruit, and onboard new high-quality partners. Build a pipeline of new partnership opportunities through outbound prospecting, referrals, networking, and industry relationships. Negotiate CPLs, payouts, volume commitments, caps, and other partnership terms. Understand partner traffic sources, lead-generation capabilities, pricing models, and performance expectations. Work with internal teams and external partners to support onboarding and technical integrations. Monitor lead quality, volume, revenue, and profitability to identify opportunities for growth. Develop strategies to increase profitable volume from high-performing partners. Represent LeadVision at affiliate, performance marketing, and lead-generation conferences. Stay informed on industry trends, technologies, platforms, and emerging partnership opportunities. Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Operations, Technology, and leadership.

Requirements: 4+ years of experience in affiliate marketing, publisher development, strategic partnerships, business development, performance marketing, or lead generation. Experience directly managing publisher, affiliate, network, or lead-generation partnerships. Proven ability to develop new business through outbound prospecting and relationship-building. Strong understanding of CPL and performance-based lead-generation models. Experience negotiating pricing, payouts, volume, and performance-based agreements. Familiarity with Ping/Post, lead distribution, bidding, lead routing, and/or real-time lead-generation environments. Strong relationship-management, communication, and negotiation skills. Business judgment with the ability to evaluate partnerships based on quality, profitability, and scalability. Comfortable owning relationships from initial outreach through onboarding and ongoing growth. Willingness to travel to relevant conferences and industry events. Preferred An established network of publishers, affiliates, networks, lead generators, or media buyers. Experience with a lead-generation company, lead exchange, affiliate network, or performance marketing organization. Experience with Ping/Post platforms, lead distribution systems, APIs, or similar integrations. Knowledge of CPL, CPA, revenue-share, bidding, and other performance-based compensation models. Experience in home services, heavy machinery, or other high-intent lead-generation verticals. Knowledge of performance marketing compliance and lead-quality standards.

What Success Looks Like: In your first several months, you’ll focus on understanding LeadVision’s existing partner ecosystem, building strong relationships with current partners, and developing a pipeline of new opportunities. Success ultimately means growing LeadVision’s partner network, lead supply, and revenue while maintaining strong quality and profitability. The Person We’re Looking ForYou’re a relationship builder who can walk into a conference and comfortably start a conversation, but you don’t rely solely on an existing network to create opportunities. You’re equally comfortable picking up the phone, prospecting into a new company, and building a relationship from scratch. You understand the lead-generation ecosystem, follow through consistently, and know that the strongest partnerships are built over time. Most importantly, you don’t simply manage partnerships. You grow them.
