Who I'm Looking For
Do you love to find amazing deals and share awesome products?
I might just have the perfect role for you!
I am looking for an employee to help us at JenniferMaker as a Partner Coordinator (aka Affiliate Marketer). This is a hybrid position, primarily remote but will be required to work in our local studio locations in Ann Arbor and Dexter, MI.
This position focuses on generating revenue through partners (affiliate revenue), assisting our audience by finding products and services that help them, and strengthening our brand name as a strong and trusted seller. The ideal candidate will be experienced with affiliate or content marketing work, as well as familiar with the JenniferMaker brand.
The person who is right for this position loves to search for, create emails and/or shortform videos for, and promote affiliate deals to our audience.
While perhaps not quite yet an expert, this person does have a solid grasp of organization skills, communication skills, project management, familiarity with the JenniferMaker blog, courses, and ebooks, as well as a basic understanding of Cricut and sublimation crafting.
This position involves a combination of organization, attention to detail, and follow-through, and it has high expectations for meeting deadlines and maintaining confidentiality.
