Trovy
Home equity-based credit card with rewards
Trovy is redefining home equity lending with a new generation of products that combine the flexibility of card-based payments with the power of secured real estate lending. Trovy is backed by top venture capital investors and has a team of proven fintech innovators who are dedicated to reshaping the way consumers access and manage credit.
As a member of the Marketing team, you'll own Trovy's affiliate and partner marketing program end-to-end, managing our presence on affiliate networks, rate tables, and review sites, recruiting and onboarding partners, and optimizing commission structures for efficient, compliant acquisition. You'll also build a portfolio of direct partnerships outside affiliate networks, including real estate brokerages, home improvement companies, contractors, and other homeowner-facing partners, sourcing, negotiating, and structuring programs from scratch. You'll own each partnership's full lifecycle: negotiation, contracting, invoicing, creative approval, and QA. This role is for someone who can close a deal, build a program, and run the operational engine behind it.
