Strategic Partnerships, Digital Advertising (Meta, Google)

About Us:

We are a performance-driven digital advertising agency specializing in Meta and Google ad platforms, with a strong focus on affiliate marketing models. Our mission is to help our clients scale efficiently while navigating the complexities of platform policies, ad account management, and campaign performance.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly connected Strategic Partnerships Development Manager who can immediately activate industry relationships to expand advertiser access and platform capability.

Success in this position depends on the ability to leverage existing relationships and networks to unlock opportunities that are not accessible through standard channels. Candidates seeking primarily process-driven or internally focused roles may find this position misaligned with their experience.

Candidates should be comfortable operating in fast-moving performance marketing environments, advocating for advertiser needs, and producing measurable partnership outcomes quickly.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain deep, trust-based relationships with key contacts at Meta, Google, and other relevant ad platforms.

• Proactively manage communication with platform reps to resolve account issues (e.g., disapprovals, bans, spending restrictions) quickly and tactfully.

• Advocate for our agency and our affiliate partners to secure faster account approvals and increased ad spend limits from ad platform partners (Meta, Google).

• Identify partnership opportunities (e.g., beta programs, dedicated account management, policy escalations).

• Represent the agency at industry events, networking functions, and platform meetups.

• Collaborate with internal teams (media buying, compliance, operations) to anticipate account needs and streamline issue resolution.

• Track and report on relationship health, platform performance trends, and partnership opportunities.

Qualifications:

• Strong understanding of Meta and Google advertising ecosystems.

• Existing professional relationships within the digital advertising ecosystem, including contacts connected to Meta, agencies, or affiliate media buying communities are essential

• Comfortable navigating policy discussions and advocating tactfully for client and agency interests.

• Demonstrated history of converting network relationships into tangible business outcomes.

• Ability to execute independently and deliver measurable results within the first 60–90 days.

• Thrives in outcome-driven environments where performance is evaluated on results rather than activity.

Preferred:

• Direct working relationships with platform partner teams (Meta Ads Team or Google Agency Team) or agency representatives.

• Active involvement in affiliate media buying or performance marketing networks.

• Experience sourcing or enabling new advertising account capacity for clients or partners.

• High degree of professional credibility within industry communities or events.

Success looks like:

• Activate relevant network relationships immediately upon onboarding

• Introduce new partnership pathways or access opportunities

• Expand available advertising account capacity

• Deliver measurable operational enablement within the first review cycle

This role rewards execution speed, professional judgment, and network leverage. Variable compensation is strongly tied to the delivery of measurable outcomes, including:

• Expansion of advertising account availability

• Successful enablement of advertiser access

• Activation of high-value partnership channels

• Sustained operational usability of sourced resources

This position is designed for individuals who already possess relevant industry relationships and can convert that access into business outcomes. Candidates seeking primarily process-driven or internally focused roles may find this position misaligned with their experience.
