Affiliate Marketing Executive

Responsibilities

• New Partner Acquisition: Proactively map the affiliate and influencer landscape to identify new partners who can drive incremental customer acquisition
• Run outbound outreach and pitch new affiliates and influencers, building and working a pipeline of prospective partners
• Negotiate and close new commercial deals primarily CPA or fixed-fee structured so every new partner is measurably incremental
• Own onboarding and activation of every new partner, from signed deal through to first live campaign
• Commercial & Performance: Negotiate commercial terms with affiliates, influencers and sponsorship partners — prioritising CPA and fixed-fee structures that tie partner pay to genuine incremental customer acquisition — and know which model fits each partner
• Own the unit economics of every live partnership: track CAC by channel and partner against LTV, and flag anything trending the wrong way before it becomes a budget problem
• Build and maintain the channel-economics view that lets the team compare partnership spend against other acquisition channels
• Manage affiliate network/platform relationships (tracking, reconciliation, payout accuracy) and be the first port of call when number don’t match
• Activation: Run sponsorship and partnership activations end-to-end — brief, plan, ship, measure
• Manage the day-to-day with partners: planning, comms, escalations

Requirements

• Proven track record sourcing and closing brand-new affiliate or influencer partnerships from scratch this is a new-business role, not just account management

• Fluent in core acquisition performance metrics – CPA, fixed-fee, LTV, ROI and blended CAC and confident structuring CPA or fixed-fee deals that guarantee incremental acquisition
• Working knowledge of channel economics: payback period, cohort behaviour, and how partnership spend compares against other acquisition channels
• Direct experience running affiliate and/or influencer partnership end to end, including commercial negotiation (not just relationship management)
• Track record of running activations end-to-end and delivering measurable results
• Strong account / relationship management skills
• Comfortable with the data — channel economics, attribution and ROI

• Experience building an affiliate or influencer programme from 0 to 1 in a consumer brand
• An experienced affiliate marketer who has sourced new customer-acquisition channels, not just managed existing ones
• A natural relationship-builder — partners trust you, and so does your team
• Commercially literate first, relationship-led second – you measure success in growth, not vanity
• Data-fluent – you build your own view on what’s working from raw performance data, not just a dashboard summary
