Job Description

Responsibilities

  • As Head of Affiliates, you own the entire affiliate channel — strategy, team, deals, traffic quality, and results. You're not here to manage a spreadsheet. You're here to build a machine.
  • tier-1 GEO experience: hands-on experience with Tier-1 markets, traffic quality, partner expectations, competition, and scaling logic;
  • deal-making: ability to negotiate, close, test, and scale CPA / RevShare / Hybrid deals;
  • affiliate acquisition: ability to find and onboard strong affiliates through networks, events, tools, forums, social media, CRM, and direct outreach;
  • traffic & profitability analysis: strong understanding of FTD, profit, conversion, retention quality, ROI, caps, reconciliations, and traffic scaling;
  • team management: experience leading affiliate managers, setting KPIs, reviewing pipelines, tracking performance, and holding the team accountable;
  • deal funnel ownership: ability to manage partner flow from lead → negotiation → approval → test cap → scale / reject;
  • risk & fraud control: ability to detect low-quality traffic, fraud signals, suspicious patterns, and compliance risks;
  • reporting discipline: ability to provide clear updates on FTD, profit, partner pipeline, traffic quality, risks, and next steps;
  • strong negotiation skills: payout deductions, price adjustments, cap / deal terms renegotiation.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in affiliate marketing or campaign management (iGaming preferred);
  • 2+ years in a team lead or head-of role — managing people, pipelines, and performance;
  • lead and develop a team of affiliate managers: set KPIs, review pipelines, track performance, and keep everyone moving in the right direction;
  • own the full deal funnel — from lead to negotiation to approval to test cap to scale or cut;
  • find and onboard strong affiliates through networks, events, forums, social media, and direct outreach;
  • negotiate, close, and renegotiate CPA / RevShare / Hybrid deals — including payouts, caps, and terms;
  • dive deep into FTD, profit, conversion, retention quality, ROI, and reconciliations to make fast, confident calls;
  • detect fraud signals, suspicious traffic patterns, and compliance risks before they become problems;
  • deliver clear, structured reporting on partner pipeline, traffic quality, risks, and next steps — no fluff.
