This is a hands-on, revenue-accountable role. You'll set program strategy, build and develop publisher relationships, negotiate commercial terms, and optimize toward efficient, incremental growth — the agency's subject-matter authority on affiliate, working shoulder-to-shoulder with paid media, SEO, and analytics across networks like Impact, CJ, Rakuten, ShareASale, and Awin.

- Recruit, vet and onboard publishers, content partners, influencers and strategic affiliates that fit each clients' audience and brand standards
- Negotiate commission structures, placements and commercial terms (CPA/CPS/CPL, tenancy, hybrid deals) that protect margin and reward incremental performance
- Analyze performance against revenue, ROAS, and incrementality targets, and translate the numbers into recommendations clients trust
