Marketing Operations Associate (Contract) - NY

The posting, as NerdWallet wrote it

At NerdWallet, we’re on a mission to bring clarity to all of life’s financial decisions—and every great mission needs a team of exceptional Nerds. We’ve built an inclusive, flexible, and candid culture where you’re empowered to grow, take smart risks, and be unapologetically yourself (cape optional). Whether remote or in-office, we support how you thrive best. We invest in your well-being, development, and ability to make an impact because when one Nerd levels up, we all do.

As a Marketing Operations Associate, you’ll own the operational and administrative work that supports NerdWallet’s Student Loans business. Reporting to the Senior Staff Marketing Lead as an individual contributor, you’ll work across the full Student Loans portfolio, handling the recurring execution that keeps our marketplace running—from lender compliance and external partner communications to revenue and cost reporting, affiliate campaign operations, partner contracts, and invoice reconciliation.

Your work will provide a reliable operational foundation that enables the team to scale marketing channels and pursue growth initiatives while helping consumers make informed financial decisions.

WHERE YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT

• Process lender-initiated compliance updates, including APRs, disclosures, and regulated content, across landing pages and internal systems. Coordinate with external partners to maintain marketplace accuracy and regulatory compliance.
• Build and maintain marketing reports and Google Sheets dashboards, including ad hoc month-over-month and year-over-year analyses, campaign and partner performance breakdowns, and monthly billing sheet accuracy reviews.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies between reports and data sources.
• Manage landing page content and lender display order across the Student Loans marketplace. Set up new pages, update existing content, and support internal and lender requests, including logo split tests and partner-provided landing pages.
• Set up and configure affiliate campaigns in Voluum and share creative assets with traffic partners to support affiliate-driven acquisition.
• Reconcile partner billing and invoices across both sides of the marketplace. Validate inbound traffic-partner invoices, approve or deny invoices as appropriate, follow up on discrepancies, submit partner requisitions, audit lender-side invoices, and surface issues to marketing leadership.
• Maintain payout rates and revenue terms in internal administrative systems to support accurate reporting, bidding systems, partner reconciliation, and internal tracking.
• Manage the partner contract pipeline in Ironclad, tracking contracts through each workflow stage, identifying next steps, and following up with internal and external stakeholders to keep onboarding and renewals moving.
• Coordinate across lenders, traffic partners, Finance, Marketing, and internal teams to keep operational work moving from start to finish.
