Position Overview

We are seeking a highly autonomous, channel-fluent, and data-driven Affiliate Marketing Specialist to spearhead the execution, recruitment, and incremental optimization of our multi-brand performance partnership ecosystem under a permanent, full-time remote configuration based within the United States. In this high-impact performance marketing seat, you will claim daily operational ownership over our active affiliate network, ensuring data integrity, tracking metrics compliance, and partnership scaling velocities.

Partnering directly beside distributed content production squads, digital product owners, and e-commerce growth cells, you will transform data insights into actionable merchant expansion tracks. This position requires an operational marketing specialist with 1-3 years of history who maps partner buyer journeys fluidly natively using Affiliate Marketing and programmatic tracking tools, commands practical experience with prominent networks like Impact or Rakuten, and translates complex performance datasets into clear, executive-ready growth recommendations.
