Company description
Welcome to Our World
We’ve been leading the charge in the affiliate industry from day one—establishing performance marketing and paving the way for future innovations. We're known for maintaining one of the largest, most reliable partnership platforms with impeccable, personalized service.
Founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1998, CJ (formerly Commission Junction) stands as the most trusted name in performance marketing. We specialize in building partnerships between top brands and reputable publishers to drive revenue and business growth. CJ’s industry-leading solutions make us the platform of choice for over 3,800 global brands across sectors like retail, travel, finance, technology, and home services. As part of Publicis Groupe, our savvy data capabilities, cutting-edge tech, and strategic expertise facilitate genuine connections, allowing brands to reach consumers wherever they are.
A Quick Peek at Affiliate Marketing
Think back to your last online purchase. Did an influencer tip you off about a great product and offer a discount? Or perhaps you relied on a trusted review site to make your decision? Whatever path you took, affiliate publishers likely played a role by influencing, informing, or helping you find the best deal. CJ connects brands with these publishers, creating valuable resources for shoppers like you.
Responsibilities
What you’ll be doing:
Lead and develop a high-performance team of 5-10 account management professionals in a fast paced, detail oriented and team environment ensure client teams successfully meet advertiser objectives are met.
Drive strategic initiatives to enhance the competitiveness of CJ’s managed services offering and health of advertiser relationships.
Pitch CJ’s products and solutions: manage client objections and gain adoption to meet client business goals.
Lead pricing, contract renewal discussions, up-sell CJ solutions. Collaborate with internal partners on client retention efforts, as needed.
Define platform feature and capability enhancements. Actively participate as a product stakeholder on behalf of advertisers for new features and solutions.
Develop and manage financial plans and meet financial expectations for your portfolio of business.
Serve as a trusted adviser and collaborator in handling client objections requests and all complex issues that cannot be solved by account teams.
Qualifications
What we look for:
Bachelor’s Degree or commensurate work experience
7 plus years of experience working in a traditional marketing role-ideally digital performance marketing.
Ability to develop annual and quarterly plans, and plans and ensure successful execution of these plans across multiple client teams, delivering high quality service and results to clients while delivering against CJ financial expectations.
Self-initiative and development- you are results focused and eager to enhance your skills to take your career to the next level.
Proven leadership, staff management and coaching skills.
Critical thinking and problem solver-you are able to influence/develop/negotiate account strategies that incorporate affiliate attribution, consumer insights and dynamic customer targeting.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Proficient knowledge of Microsoft suite of products, including Windows, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
