Partner Development Manager Jobs in Parrish, FL (NOW HIRING)

Vice President, Partner Development

Perform[cb] has been a leader in performance marketing and new customer acquisition since 2002. We sit at the center of a two-sided solution: the world's top brands pay only for real results - new customers, leads, installs, and sales - and our curated network of media partners grows by delivering them. Backed by the Outcome Engine, our AI-driven technology, and a team with deep vertical expertise, you'll help both sides get more - and deliver outcomes they didn't think possible.

We're a fully remote company with a distributed team around the globe - and we're serious about helping you grow here (many of our leaders started in entry-level roles). From virtual events and interest-based clubs to incentive programs, you'll find a culture built for doing your best work while still having a life outside of it.

This role oversees the partner recruitment lifecycle — from discovery and onboarding to reactivation and monetization — and plays a key role in aligning supply opportunities with marketer demand.

The VP of Partner Activation & Development will collaborate closely with Sales, Growth, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Compliance teams to ensure seamless alignment across demand pipelines, partner sourcing, and strategic initiatives. This role is both strategic and hands-on, balancing leadership responsibilities with direct execution to drive measurable partner success.
