Product Manager — Partnerships & Distribution

Who We Are

NEXT Ventures is where ambition takes shape and momentum becomes movement. As a global platform revolutionising access to performance-based capital, we empower the world’s most driven individuals to rise. Through our flagship brand, FundedNext, we empower dreamers to become doers, and potential to turn into performance.

Your Role in Our Mission

As Product Manager — Partnerships & Distribution, you own two of FundedNext’s most important growth levers: the Affiliate Program and the Refer & Earn product. You will take end-to-end accountability for the affiliate journey — from first application through to commission payout — and build the internal systems, portal experiences, and fraud guardrails that let the program scale without breaking. This is a role for a PM who is equally comfortable designing trader-facing referral flows and the operational plumbing underneath them, and who measures success in affiliate quality, not just volume.

How You'll Make an Impact

Affiliate Program & Refer & Earn Ownership

• Own the end-to-end affiliate journey — from application and onboarding through active promotion to commission payout — and systematically remove friction at every stage

• Own the Refer & Earn program — design referral mechanics, reward structures, and in-product flows that turn every funded trader into a potential acquisition channel

• Design and optimise commission structures for both programs — ensuring models are competitive, transparent, and aligned with trader quality (not just volume)

Affiliate Portal & Internal Tooling

• Build the affiliate portal product — define requirements for a self-service dashboard where affiliates can track real-time earnings, performance analytics, commission history, referral links, and marketing assets

• Define and build internal operations tooling — admin systems for commission disbursement workflows, affiliate onboarding reviews, activity auditing, and compliance checks that reduce manual approvals at scale

• Streamline the affiliate onboarding process — define application review criteria, automate where possible, and reduce time-to-activation for new affiliates

Integrity, Attribution & Cross-Squad Coordination

• Set guardrails that protect program integrity — design fraud detection mechanisms, self-referral prevention, commission abuse monitoring, and policy violation flags that scale with the affiliate base

• Coordinate with Growth squads (CFD and Futures) on attribution tracking — ensure affiliate-referred traffic is properly tagged and feeds into funnel analytics

• Work with the Payments & Settlement squad on commission payout processing — define disbursement schedules, approval workflows, and reconciliation requirements

Measurement & OKR Ownership

• Define and track squad OKRs: affiliate activation rate, affiliate-sourced revenue, affiliate-sourced trader quality (LTV, pass rate), commission disbursement processing time, and Refer & Earn conversion rate
  

What You Bring

• 3–5 years of product management experience, with exposure to affiliate programs, referral systems, creator/influencer platforms, or partner-driven acquisition channels

• Experience designing or optimising affiliate commission structures, tiered reward models, and referral incentive programs

• Understanding of attribution and tracking systems — referral links, UTM tracking, and conversion attribution across sessions and devices

• Experience building affiliate-facing or partner-facing portals and dashboards with real-time earnings, performance analytics, and payout visibility

• Strong internal tooling and operations product experience — ability to design admin systems for commission disbursement, onboarding approvals, and activity auditing

• Experience designing guardrails and fraud prevention mechanisms for affiliate or referral programs at scale

• Strong data skills — ability to analyse affiliate activation rates, affiliate-sourced trader quality (LTV, pass rates), commission ROI, and program-level unit economics

• Experience with operational process design — streamlining manual workflows such as commission auditing, disbursement approvals, and compliance checks

• Understanding of affiliate lifecycle management — application review, onboarding, activation, engagement, and churn prevention

• Experience in fintech, trading, affiliate marketing platforms, or creator economy platforms is a strong plus

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (Business, Marketing, Computer Science, or equivalent experience)

Your Journey After Applying
