Job Description

Summary:

The Senior Affiliate Manager role is all about bringing in new business through strong, pre-existing relationships with direct affiliates (publishers) — not just networks.

If you know how to drive sales, manage traffic quality, build lasting publisher relationships, and optimize CPL campaigns across multiple channels — this opportunity is for you.

Responsibilities:

  • Recruit, onboard, and manage direct publishers (affiliates) with proven CPL traffic.

  • Build and strengthen relationships to drive high-quality leads and immediate performance impact .

  • Launch, test, and optimize CPL campaigns across multiple traffic sources.

  • Monitor campaign results, analyze lead quality, and adjust strategies to maximize ROI.

  • Collaborate with compliance and analytics teams to ensure accurate tracking and lead integrity.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of affiliate / lead generation management experience.

  • Proven book of direct publisher relationships (not only networks).

  • Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills.

  • Hands-on experience with affiliate tracking platforms (Everflow, HasOffers, CAKE, Voluum, etc.).

  • Self-starter, able to deliver results independently.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience scaling CPL lead generation offers in finance, insurance, health, or consumer sectors.

  • Track record of managing high-volume traffic affiliates and optimizing for ROI.

  • Familiarity with compliance standards and data quality best practices.

  • Strong analytical background with performance marketing KPIs.

  • Previous experience at an ad network, lead generation company, or direct advertiser with publisher-facing relationships.

Perks:

  • 100% remote role with flexible work environment.

  • Competitive salary plus performance-based incentives.

  • Opportunity to make an immediate impact.

  • Entrepreneurial culture where your publisher relationships and expertise are highly valued.

  • Work alongside an experienced performance marketing team with decades of industry success.
