Affiliate Marketing Manager

About the Role

We're looking for a Creator Partnerships & Affiliate Growth Lead to build, manage, and scale our creator partnership and affiliate growth program across social commerce platforms.

This is not a traditional influencer coordinator, affiliate administrator, or social media management role.

This is a revenue-driving position responsible for identifying high-potential creators, presenting a compelling partnership opportunity, onboarding them into our affiliate program, and helping them consistently grow their sales while driving measurable business growth.

The ideal candidate is part account manager, part partnerships manager, part growth marketer, and part business development professional. They are commercially minded, persuasive, highly organized, data-driven, and motivated by performance.

Success in this role will be measured by creator activation, repeat posting, revenue growth, creator retention, and long-term partnership success.


Why This Role Is Different

Our creator program is designed around helping creators succeed.

Instead of asking creators to promote random products, we use performance insights and market data to identify products with strong sales potential and provide creators with:

  • High-potential product recommendations
  • Competitive commission opportunities
  • Performance insights and analytics
  • Content ideas and campaign guidance
  • Product samples where applicable
  • Ongoing optimization and feedback
  • Long-term partnership and account support

Our goal is to create win-win partnerships where creators increase their earnings while helping build a scalable creator-driven revenue engine.

  • Recommend higher-performing products and campaign improvements.
  • Develop retention and incentive strategies for top-performing creators.
