Job description

Who We Are:
At Rover, pets and their people are at the heart of everything we do. We connect pet parents with trusted pet care across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Headquartered in Seattle and Barcelona, we’re a values driven, fast-growing tech company focused on building safe and personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each unique pet. We’re investing in AI as a business accelerator and provide every team member access to AI tools in service of creating better experiences for our community.
We are proud to be recognized as a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees.
Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

Who We're Looking for: 
As Influencer & Affiliate Marketing Manager, US and International, you'll lead the paid and performance side of Rover's influencer and affiliate programs across the US, Canada, UK, and emerging EU markets. You'll own the affiliate channel, drive performance-focused creator and partner work alongside Brand Social, and manage the agencies that support them. Reporting to the Growth Director  you'll sit at the intersection of performance marketing, brand storytelling, and community. You'll make sure the creator and partner spend drives real new customers while growing awareness, all while keeping the brand experience cohesive across marketing touchpoints.

As Rover expands its approach to creators and community, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape this role and how Paid and Brand Social collaborate. The core focus is performance-driven partnerships, affiliate marketing, creator programs, and paid amplification. From that foundation, the role may grow into areas such as team and league partnerships, mobile, and international performance strategy. We’re looking for someone who brings strong expertise, adaptability, and ideas about where we can make the greatest impact. Throughout the interview process, we’ll share our current priorities and where you can help influence what comes next.
This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office two days per week on Mondays and Thursdays. For this reason, candidates must be based in the Greater Seattle Area or willing to relocate.

•
