Who We Are The short version: Founded in 2014, Switcher, Inc., is a remote-first tech startup. The long version: Switcher is a passionate group of creators, storytellers, leaders, and developers.

Who You Are You are a strategic, relationship-driven, and commercially minded professional who knows how to build partnerships from the ground up.

You can articulate why partnerships matter, what we should accomplish through them, who we should partner with, and how those relationships should develop over time. You have a proven ability to identify and develop high-value 1:1 relationships with affiliates, influencers, creators, media contacts, organizations, and strategic partners. You're confident reaching out cold, building relationships from scratch, presenting a vision, negotiating opportunities, and ultimately turning those relationships into measurable business impact.

Track partnership performance and use data to continuously identify opportunities to improve, expand, and scale the program. What We Need 5+ years of experience in partnerships, affiliate marketing, business development, sales, or a related field. Proven success building and scaling affiliate programs, with strong hands-on PartnerStack experience. Demonstrated ability to develop and grow high-value 1:1 partnerships.
