This position requires a digital partnership authority with 3+ years of experience who manages affiliate frameworks fluidly natively using Affiliate Marketing and media distribution models, negotiates customized cost-per-acquisition (CPA) layouts, embeds automated generative workflows into partner pipelines, and analyzes performance data confidently to maximize Hostinger’s visibility across the DACH digital ecosystem.
