Affiliate Partnerships Manager

We are hiring on behalf of our client – an American media company with an office in Warsaw. They run a high-volume, performance-driven newsletter portfolio and drive traffic to advertisers and brand partners through owned channels. Affiliate revenue is a core part of the business, and they need someone to own the partner relationships that make it work.

This is a senior, commercial role. You will be the main point of contact for advertisers, affiliate networks, and affiliate managers — building relationships strong enough that partners bring you their best deals first, before anyone else sees them.

You will own payout negotiation end to end: commission rates, CPAs, rev shares, bonuses. That means reading performance data, spotting where a deal is underpriced, and pushing for better terms – not just accepting what a partner offers. You also own tracking hygiene across campaigns: links, sub-IDs, attribution, making sure nothing breaks and no revenue leaks.
