About Us
At Close, weโre building the sales communication platform of the future. With our roots as the very first sales CRM to include built-in calling, weโre leading the industry in sales automation-helping companies close more deals, faster than ever. Since our founding in 2013 weโve grown to become a profitable, 100% globally distributed ~55 person team that is dedicated to building a product our customers love.ย
Weโre looking to add a stellar person to become our first dedicated Affiliate Manager to help us manage our already successful affiliate program and level up our efforts to make this channel a significant percentage of our annual revenue.
About You
As an Affiliate Manager youโll be responsible for managing and supporting our existing network of affiliates as well as growing the number of affiliates in the program through inbound application qualification and some outbound efforts. Weโre looking for a proactive go-getter who is curious about people, has a strong and friendly demeanor, and enjoys talking to people with a vast range of backgrounds.ย
This isnโt your typical affiliate manager role.

We have consistent new applications for the program and we need someone to dedicate 100% of their time helping these affiliates acquire more customers for Close.ย
