• Execute affiliate marketing operations in Voluum, including campaign setup, configuration, tracking implementation, and creative asset distribution to support partner acquisition efforts
• Reconcile partner billing and invoicing across both sides of the marketplace by validating traffic partner invoices, resolving discrepancies, processing requisitions, auditing lender invoices, and identifying billing issues for cross-functional stakeholders
• Maintain lender payout rates, revenue terms, and affiliate compensation structures within internal systems to ensure accurate reporting, bidding optimization, partner reconciliation, and financial tracking
