- **Company:** Levanta

- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-09-30

## Job description

Levanta is the creator affiliate platform built for modern e-commerce. We connect brands, creators, publishers, and marketplaces through a single platform for creator discovery, activation, partnership management, payments, and cross-channel performance measurement. Through our Creator Marketplace and AI-powered Social Discovery, brands can access more than 90,000 vetted creators and millions more across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, building measurable creator partnerships across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and other retail channels.

Following our recent $22 million Series B, which brought our total funding to more than $43 million, we are investing further in our technology, our team, and our expansion across the retail ecosystem. We are building the infrastructure for Creator Commerce Media and creating more opportunities for brands to grow, creators to earn, and marketplaces to generate measurable demand.

Levanta is hiring a Publisher Development Manager to lead publisher acquisition and growth across our live Amazon markets in EMEA — UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain. This role is squarely focused on Amazon: identifying, onboarding, and optimizing sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, media buyers, and content publishers that drive GMV for Amazon-side brands in these markets.

You'll report directly to the VP of Marketplace and work closely with our Creator team, which is deeply technical and hands-on with tracking and integrations — you won't have a dedicated engineer on partner calls, so you'll need to be comfortable troubleshooting tracking and attribution issues yourself, escalating only when something is genuinely broken on our end. This is a relationship-driven, technically fluent role: equal parts partnership development and hands-on problem-solving.

What You'll Do:

Strategic partnership development

- Identify and cultivate relationships with sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, and high-value content publishers across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain
- Build a prioritized target list of publishers and sub-networks in each market, with a tailored outreach approach per segment
- Negotiate partnership terms that align with our Amazon-side business goals

Partnership optimization & growth

- Analyze the performance of existing EMEA publisher partnerships, including underperforming ones, and build plans to re-engage or grow them
- Work directly with partners to optimize product feeds, improve conversion, and unlock growth
- Track the competitive landscape across EMEA affiliate/publisher ecosystems and surface new opportunities

Technical implementation & troubleshooting

- Own technical onboarding for new publisher partners — API integrations, tracking setup, and attribution accuracy — largely independently
- Troubleshoot tracking and integration issues directly with partners; escalate internally only when something requires engineering
- Maintain clear technical documentation partners can use to self-serve during setup

Performance analysis & reporting

- Track and report on partnership performance — GMV, conversion rate, activation status — across the EMEA portfolio
- Surface trends and insights that inform where to prioritize time and resources next

Cross-functional collaboration

- Partner with our Creator team to keep messaging and territory approach consistent as the EMEA publisher program grows
- Share partner feedback with Product to inform the roadmap where relevant

What You Bring:

- 5-7 years of experience in affiliate marketing, partnership development, or business development — direct experience with sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, or similar publisher types required
- Hands-on experience with API integrations and a strong working understanding of affiliate attribution and tracking technology
- Comfort troubleshooting technical integration issues independently, without a dedicated engineer on the call
- Familiarity with affiliate platform technologies (Impact, CJ, AWIN, or similar) and comfort reading technical documentation
- Strong negotiation skills
- Self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, entrepreneurial — this role builds a lot of its own process rather than following an established playbook
- Based in the UK or Netherlands
- Fluent English required

Nice to have:

- German, French, or Spanish language skills — our biggest secondary markets after the UK

Success Metrics:

- Number of strategic partnerships activated (sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, content publishers) across EMEA markets
- GMV and revenue generated through activated EMEA publisher partnerships
- Partnership activation rate and time-to-revenue
- Performance improvement of existing/underperforming partnerships

**This role is location specific to the United Kingdom or the Netherlands.** What Levanta Offers:

- A dynamic and supportive work environment where innovation and creativity are encouraged.
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Open vacation and sick policy, take the time you need.
- Opportunity for professional growth and advancement within a rapidly expanding startup.
- A culture that values diversity, inclusion, and the impact of every team member on our success.
- Must have a permanent address in one of our hub states: California, Florida, New York, Ohio, Utah, Texas, Michigan, Washington, Colorado, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or DC.

## About Levanta

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Levanta is a unified creator and affiliate marketing platform that enables e-commerce brands to manage partnerships across Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart from a single system.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Seattle, Washington, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Ian Brodie (CEO & Co-Founder), Spencer McKenney (CTO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: E-commerce technology, affiliate marketing, creator economy
- Target customers: B2B (e-commerce brands, marketplace sellers, and agencies) and B2C (creators, influencers, and affiliates)
- Mission or purpose statement: Building the future of creative-driven commerce for modern brands by unlocking affiliate and creator partnerships as a competitive advantage.

## Products & Services
- **Levanta Platform**: A unified SaaS platform for e-commerce brands to discover, manage, and pay creators and affiliates. It connects Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart channels in one dashboard, offering AI-powered creator discovery via the Creator Marketplace (70,000+ vetted publishers, influencers, affiliates, and media buyers), commission management, flat-frate creator deals, automated product seeding, and cross-channel performance measurement.
- **Creator Marketplace**: A network of over 70,000 vetted creators, influencers, affiliates, and media buyers that brands can discover and activate across channels.
- **Creator/Affiliate Tools**: A free-to-join side for creators and affiliates to discover brands, set flexible earning models (commission, flat fee), and earn incremental revenue on Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart with automated payments.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $21.4 million across 3 rounds
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Volition Capital (led Series A), LongRun Capital (led Seed Round). Strategic partners include Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart ecosystems.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew **82.7% YoY** to 73 employees. Active creators on platform: **2,200+**. Reports **96% of customers are new-to-brand** and over **$1M+ in affiliate-related revenue** generated in the first few months for some clients. Maintains a 6% net commission rate for brands. Active job postings are up **300% year-over-year** (4 open roles as of mid-2025). Key new hires include talent from Amazon, Qualtrics, impact.com, and Refersion.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Cross-Channel Unification**: Only platform that allows brands to run one affiliate program across Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart from a single dashboard, eliminating siloed management.
- **High Quality, Vetted Network**: Access to a pre-vetted marketplace of 70,000+ creators, removing much of the discovery and fraud risk inherent in traditional affiliate marketing.
- **New-to-Brand Customer Acquisition**: Emphasizes driving high-converting, new-to-brand traffic rather than coupon-stacking or existing customer re-targeting. A reported 96% of sales are new-to-brand.
- **Flexible Partnership Models**: Supports multiple compensation models (commission, flat fee, product seeding) within one platform, giving brands granular control.
- **Performance-First Data**: Provides affiliate-level attribution and performance data specifically for multi-channel sellers, an area where most tools are weak.

## Strategic Focus
- **Rapidly Scaling the Creator Network**: Expanding the Marketplace to cover more verticals and geographies, including a specific focus on the Chinese market (active Business Development role in Shenzhen).
- **Deepening Multi-Platform Integration**: Likely expanding integrations beyond core three marketplaces to capture more D2C and retail media spend.
- **AI-Powered Automation and Insights**: The platform leverages AI for creator discovery and is actively testing AI tools (like Claude) internally for automating marketing tasks, suggesting a product roadmap focused on AI-driven optimization.
- **International Expansion**: Operating in 8 countries (US, North Macedonia, Argentina, China, Canada, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Egypt) and hiring for Asia-based Customer Success and BD roles.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: The company explicitly promotes a "Life Comes First" philosophy, emphasizing smart work, personal freedom, and balance. Values include trust, accountability, collaboration, and intentionality.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Offices in Seattle (HQ) and Shenzhen, China. The company describes itself as "In-Office or Remote" but requires employees in the US to have a permanent address in one of eight hub states (California, Florida, New York, Ohio, Utah, Texas, Michigan, or Washington) for payroll/legal purposes.
- **Perks**: Competitive salary and benefits, open vacation and sick policy ("take the time you need"), and a focus on growth and advancement in a fast-paced startup. The engineering team is small but growing (11 employees or 12% of workforce). The company actively uses and builds with AI, offering early-stage exposure to AI/ML in a commercial setting (e.g., using Claude for internal tasks).
- **Growth Trajectory**: A post-Series A startup with explosive headcount growth (82% YoY), providing significant opportunity for career acceleration, cross-functional exposure, and taking on increasing ownership as the company scales.
