About the Role
Role details below.
Responsibilities
- Own the affiliate marketing channel for selected e-commerce clients end-to-end – strategy, setup, execution and optimization.
- Design or refine the client’s affiliate program structure: commission models, tiers, bonus campaigns, and partner segmentation based on performance and profitability.
- Select, set up, and manage affiliate platforms/networks (e.g. Impact, PartnerStack, Refersion, ShareASale, Awin, Shopify apps) depending on the client’s tech stack.
- Proactively recruit new affiliates: content sites, influencers, deal sites, comparison portals, niche blogs and YouTube/Instagram/TikTok creators aligned with the brand.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with top affiliates through regular communication, performance reviews, and joint campaign planning.
- Create clear affiliate assets and guidelines: tracking links, landing page recommendations, product angle suggestions, promo calendars, and simple “plug-and-play” promo kits.
- Collaborate with our SEO & content team to ensure affiliate content aligns with SEO strategy (e.g. review pages, comparison articles, listicles) and brand guidelines.
- Monitor performance daily/weekly: EPC, ROAS, new customers, LTV signals, and margin – not just clicks and impressions. You’ll cut what doesn’t work and double down on what does.
- Implement testing: different commission structures, creatives, landing pages, and funnels to find the most profitable combination for each client.
- Report clearly to clients and internally – what you did, why, and how it impacted revenue and profit, in an honest and straightforward way (no black box).
- Help us build and refine internal playbooks, checklists, and “Affiliate Growth Frameworks” so each new client benefits from previous learnings.
Requirements
- 3+ years of hands-on affiliate marketing experience, ideally in e-commerce / DTC.
- Proven track record of scaling affiliate programs with clear revenue and profit impact (you can show examples, even if anonymised).
- Experience working with affiliate networks/platforms (e.g. Impact, Awin, PartnerStack, CJ, Refersion, GoAffPro, etc.).
- Strong understanding of performance marketing metrics: EPC, CPA, ROAS, contribution margin, LTV, payback period.
- Comfortable with Shopify or similar e-commerce platforms and basic tracking setups (UTMs, pixel-based tracking, coupon-based tracking, post-purchase attribution, etc.).
- Solid analytical skills – you can read data from GA4 / platform dashboards and turn it into simple decisions and clear next steps.
- Strong written and spoken English for communicating with affiliates and clients.
Nice to Have
- Any additional languages are a plus.
Benefits
- Fully remote role – work from wherever you’re most productive
- High ownership: you’ll be the main driver of the affiliate channel for real brands, not just “support.”
- Work with serious e-commerce brands (mostly 6–8 figure monthly revenue) where performance actually matters and budgets are meaningful.
- A culture built on integrity, transparency and long-term partnerships – both with clients and within the team.
- Direct collaboration with senior SEO and growth specialists – you’ll learn a lot about organic, CRO, and data-driven decision-making.
- Competitive compensation with perfo
