Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Affiliate Manager to help grow and scale our network of direct publishers and performance-driven affiliates
This is a growth-focused, revenue-impacting role centered on identifying new publisher opportunities, developing productive relationships, and generating revenue with partners who deliver high-quality CPL and CPA traffic.
You will serve as a strategic partner to the publishers you manage — helping them launch, optimize, and grow campaigns while maintaining strong lead quality and long-term advertiser performance.

Collaborate with internal compliance, analytics, and advertiser teams
Build long-term publisher relationships that drive sustainable revenue
What We're Looking For
2+ years required; 5+ years strongly preferred in affiliate marketing, lead generation, or performance media
Experience working directly with publishers, affiliates, and traffic partners
Strong communication and negotiation skills
Comfortable working with data, performance metrics, payout structures, and campaign economics
Familiarity with affiliate platforms such as Everflow, HasOffers, CAKE, Voluum, or similar
Self-motivated and able to manage relationships and revenue independently
A growth mindset — someone who looks for opportunities to expand accounts, activate new partners, and increase profitable volume
Nice to Have
Experience in CPL verticals such as insurance, health, home services, auto, or finance
History of growing high-volume publisher accounts
Understanding of compliance, lead quality, and advertiser expectations
Background at an affiliate network, lead generation company, or performance agency
Existing relationships within the affiliate and performance marketing industry

Competitive base salary plus performance-based commissions
Fully remote with a flexible schedule
Work directly with experienced industry leaders
Build and grow a valuable portfolio of publisher relationships
Play a meaningful role in driving revenue and long-term growth
