This role is responsible for driving revenue growth, building high-quality publisher relationships, and optimizing program performance across content, loyalty, and deal partners.

You’re not just managing a program—you’re actively growing it. This is open to candidates outside the United States only.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute strategies to drive scalable revenue growth.
• Set and hit monthly/quarterly performance targets (revenue, ROAS, CPA).

Publisher Recruitment & Relationship Management

• Proactively recruit new publishers across content, commerce, loyalty, and influencer verticals.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with top-performing affiliates.
• Negotiate placements, commissions, and exclusive opportunities.

Campaign & Offer Management

• Plan and execute promotional calendars (seasonal, product launches, tentpole moments).
• Create compelling offers, bonuses, and incentives to drive partner performance.
• Collaborate with internal teams on product priorities and messaging.

Performance Optimization

• Analyze affiliate performance data and identify growth opportunities.
• Continuously optimize commission structures, partner mix, and placements.
• Monitor attribution, incrementality, and partner quality.

Platform Management (CJ)

• Manage CJ dashboard, including partner approvals, link tracking, creatives, and reporting.
• Ensure proper tracking, attribution, and compliance across all partners.
• Troubleshoot technical or tracking issues as they arise.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with paid media, influencer, and content teams to align strategies.
• Partner with creative teams to develop high-performing affiliate assets.
• Coordinate with finance on payouts, budgets, and forecasting.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of affiliate marketing experience, with hands-on CJ platform expertise.
• Proven track record of driving revenue growth through affiliate programs.
• Strong relationships across affiliate publishers (media, content, loyalty, etc.).
• Deep understanding of performance marketing metrics (CPA, ROAS, LTV).
• Strong analytical and reporting skills.
• Experience negotiating partnerships and placements.
• Highly proactive—comfortable building from scratch, not just maintaining.

Nice to Have

• Experience working with DTC brands (especially in CPG, beauty, or apparel).
• Familiarity with other affiliate platforms (Impact, Rakuten, ShareASale).
• Understanding of influencer/creator affiliate models.
• Experience with promo strategy and retail calendars.

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent MoM revenue growth from the affiliate channel.
• Expansion of high-quality, incremental publisher partnerships.
• Efficient CPA/ROAS aligned with broader performance goals.
• A program that feels actively managed—not passive.
