About PerformCB
PerformCB is an AI-powered performance marketing platform connecting top-tier advertisers with a curated network of publisher and supply partners across In-App, Social, CTV, and Native channels. Backed by Beringer Capital, we are evolving from an outcome-based marketing channel into a predictive, data-driven platform delivering measurable results for recognized brands in Financial Services, Fintech, eCommerce, and Health & Wellness. Our proprietary AI engines drive meaningful incremental net revenue for our clients and provides necessary campaign and consumer intelligence to our partners.
The Role
The Executive Vice President of Partnerships is a senior leadership role responsible for building and scaling PerformCB's supply-side ecosystem. This leader will own the strategy for partner growth, manage and develop our existing partner-facing team (including the Partner Development Team), and drive the channel diversification and productive partner depth required to unlock budget capacity across our top marketer relationships.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with direct access to executive leadership and meaningful influence over the trajectory of the business. The ideal candidate is a builder, someone with deep roots in the affiliate and mobile performance ecosystem who sees an underdeveloped supply base not as a problem to manage but as the single biggest lever for revenue growth.
We are actively recruiting from leading affiliate and performance marketing organizations including AppsFlyer, Impact.com, Acceleration Partners, AppLovin, Moloco, Everflow, QuinStreet, and comparable platforms and performance and affiliate agencies.
