You’ll develop strategies to improve Ooma’s visibility and likelihood of being recommended across AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and emerging AI-driven discovery experiences.
You’ll bring hands-on affiliate marketing expertise and a strong understanding of how AI-generated answers, review sites, comparison platforms, and authoritative third-party content influence B2B purchase decisions.

- Manage and optimize Ooma’s B2B affiliate marketing program during maternity leave coverage, keeping ongoing initiatives on track and identifying opportunities to improve lead generation, pipeline contribution, and return on investment.
- Maintain relationships with affiliates, publishers, review sites, comparison platforms, and strategic referral partners, and explore opportunities to strengthen and expand these partnerships.
- Assess how AI-powered search platforms and large language models (LLMs) influence how buyers discover and evaluate business communications providers.
- Identify high-value third-party publishers, review sites, directories, forums, and industry resources where a stronger Ooma presence could support visibility in traditional search and AI-generated answers.
- Recommend content, partnership, and affiliate strategies to improve discovery across business communications, UCaaS, cloud phone systems, POTS replacement, and related solution categories, and advance agreed-upon initiatives during the engagement.
- Create a practical, prioritized roadmap for evolving Ooma’s affiliate, content, and partner marketing strategy as AI-driven search and buying behaviors develop, including recommended next steps and measures of progress.
- Monitor performance and provide regular reporting, insights, and actionable recommendations.
- Document key relationships, ongoing initiatives, and strategic recommendations to support a smooth handoff at the end of the engagement.
Experience We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience in B2B affiliate, partnership, referral, or performance marketing; 8+ years total work experience required.
- Hands-on experience managing affiliate programs and relationships with publishers, review sites, comparison platforms, or referral partners.
- Experience marketing SaaS, telecommunications, UCaaS, CCaaS, business communications, or related technology solutions.
- An understanding of how third-party content and recommendations influence B2B purchase decisions.
- Familiarity with AI-powered search and discovery, along with experience developing content or partnership strategies that support visibility across traditional search and emerging AI channels.
- Experience translating performance data and market insights into clear, actionable recommendations.
- Strong communication, analytical, and project management skills, with the ability to get up to speed quickly and balance ongoing program needs with focused strategic projects. #LI-CC1
