Role
Who you are
- This is for someone who hunts for deals, negotiates like a pro, and owns the whole lifecycle
- Deep knowledge of the eCommerce world, with a network of partners that can bring us many qualified advertisers
- A track record of closing large B2B deals across deal types (flat fee, rev share, hybrid)
- A natural networker who opens doors and knows the value of a warm intro from the right person
- Operator mindset: data-driven, focused on ROI, bias toward action
- Systems thinker: one great partner, whether an influencer, a community, or an agency, can unlock a whole ecosystem
What the job involves
- AppLovin is a top-100 market cap company that is still early in its growth curve. We are building a partnership engine to scale advertiser growth. We need a deal-maker who can source, structure, and close partnerships that others can't
- You will build referral partnerships across the eCommerce world. The main focus: the super-connectors — influencers, community leaders, and agency owners who advertisers already trust and who can open many doors at once
- Platform and tool deals are on the table too, but people come first. Partners earn a share of the advertiser spend they bring, so there is no set budget and no cap on what a great partnership can pay out
- Deal Sourcing & Closing
- Build your own pipeline of super-connectors: influencers, eCommerce community leaders, and agencies, plus platform deals where they fit
- Structure deals around a share of advertiser spend, with flat-rate or hybrid terms where they fit better
- Close deals yourself, from first outreach to signed contract
- Invest in your partners in person. Fly to them, take them to dinner, do whatever it takes to build a strong relationship
- Portfolio Management
- Own a portfolio of performance-based partnerships where payouts scale with the advertiser spend each partner drives
- Double down on winners, cut losers quickly
- Build repeatable processes so winning partnership models can scale
- Track partnership ROI with clear attribution to revenue and new advertisers
Application process
- Your resume
- A brief note on the biggest deal you've closed (size, structure, outcome)
- Your approach to building a partner pipeline from scratch in this role
Our take
AppLovin operates a mobile ad network that helps advertisers target and deliver personalized ads to people who are similar to their existing user base. The company builds and acquires free-to-play mobile games and sells advertising space. Collectively, its portfolio attracts tens of millions of users each day.
By 2030, the gaming industry is projected to be worth over $333B, and AppLovin commands a significant slice of this, with tools for building, monetizing and marketing apps towards increasing revenue for its users. The business has been profitable for some time and has received considerable investment, highlighting the potential that investors see in its product. It has also bolstered its offerings through numerous acquisitions, like German ad network Moboqo and Wurl, a high-growth software platform in the CTV market.
