Senior Brand & Agency Partnerships Manager (NYC)

Linkby • New York, NY

6h • $100,000 - $120,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Linkby is a fast-growing adtech platform connecting D2C ecommerce brands with premium publishers on a cost-per-click model and we are expanding aggressively across North America. This is a full-cycle partnerships role. You will leverage your existing network to generate pipeline, close new brand and agency partners, onboard them onto the platform, and own those relationships long-term, driving retention, upselling, and revenue growth quarter over quarter. Part of what makes this role exciting is what you will be selling. AI is fundamentally changing how consumers discover brands, and Linkby is not catching up to that shift; we are leading it. You will be working with advertisers at the forefront of AI Visibility / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), helping them understand and act on a category that most of the market is still figuring out. This is a hybrid role. Three days per week in-office at our Midtown Manhattan office (Tuesday through Thursday) required.
