Responsibilities

• Own the affiliate program strategy and performance outcomes, managing the day-to-day agency relationship that oversees recruitment, activation, and optimization across publisher categories including content, loyalty, cashback, comparison, and performance partners — holding the agency accountable to program KPIs and ensuring execution aligns with business objectives
• Source and evaluate new partnership opportunities across emerging categories (including employer and closed-group benefits portals, co-branded integrations, and creator-adjacent models), making recommendations with a clear growth and quality rationale
• Own placement and creative management, including asset coordination, partner briefing, and review cycles
• Monitor program quality rigorously and respond quickly when thresholds are breached, including escalating through legal and operational channels when needed
• Partner with analytics and data engineering to maintain and improve attribution accuracy, including troubleshooting pipeline issues that affect performance measurement
• Collaborate with legal on partner compliance, data-sharing agreements, and any contractual matters that arise in the course of managing the program
• Support the Influencer channel across key operational and strategic workstreams, including: managing creator contract renewals and scope negotiations (e.g., adjusting syndication rights, whitelisting terms); coordinating paid amplification workflows that move influencer content into Meta paid social; and contributing to creative performance analysis to identify which talent, formats, and messaging angles are driving acquisition
• Lead or support cross-functional projects that extend the affiliate channel's footprint, including integrations with influencer, paid social, and brand partnership programs
• Bring new ideas to improve performance — and push them through from hypothesis to test to scaled execution
