About The Position

Trevant (formerly AdParlor) is seeking a full-time Brand Partnership Associate to drive pipeline generation and expansion within its creator and influencer marketing division. This role is ideal for individuals with a deep understanding of the creator, affiliate, or influencer marketing landscape, gained from experience at an agency, brand partnerships team, affiliate network, or creator-facing platform. The Associate will play a key role in the exponential growth of Trevant's creator marketing division, working closely with the VP of Brand Partnerships and cross-functional teams to develop and implement outreach strategies. Responsibilities include meeting daily activity goals for pipeline generation, identifying new business opportunities, and managing a small sales quota for mid-size growth brands. This position is designed for career progression into a full-cycle, quota-carrying partnership account manager role.

Requirements

• One to three years of experience in a sales, business development, or partnerships role within the creator, affiliate, or influencer marketing industry (agency, network, platform, or brand-side), OR one to three years in a traditional SDR/BDR/full-cycle sales role, ideally in an agency or martech environment.
• Working knowledge of the creator/affiliate ecosystem, e.g. how influencer programs, affiliate networks, or shoppable platforms like TikTok Shop and ShopMy operate, is a strong plus and can substitute for traditional SaaS sales experience.

Responsibilities

• Identify and cultivate new business opportunities with brands running, or evaluating, creator, affiliate, or influencer marketing programs.
• Partner with the VP, Sales and cross-functional team to develop, test, and refine outbound strategies, tailored to how creator-economy and affiliate marketing buyers actually evaluate agency partners, that convert into scheduled meetings and closed revenue.
• Own a small sales quota focused on mid-size growth brands, managing opportunities from first touch through close.
• Contact and respond to inbound leads promptly, maintaining an organized and timely communication flow to qualify prospects and get calls scheduled with the right stakeholder.
• Maintain full CRM hygiene in HubSpot, logging activity, updating deal stages, and keeping pipeline forecasts accurate for key stakeholders.
• Join strategy calls to take CRM notes while preparing to support proposal, RFP, and RFI creation. Eventually own strategy calls of SMB brands.

• Own email follow-ups, some recaps, and pipeline tracking across stakeholders.
• Bring firsthand knowledge of the creator and affiliate landscape, platforms like TikTok Shop, Amazon Influencer/Affiliate, ShopMy, and major affiliate networks, to help differentiate Trevant from competitors in a crowded creator marketing space.
