Senior Affiliate Lead / Affiliate Director

Open 28d

Summary

Owns and scales an affiliate marketing channel for a SaaS company, auditing and restructuring the program, building a network, and driving growth through partnerships, traffic optimization, and conversion improvements.

We're hiring a Senior Affiliate Lead to take full ownership of our affiliate direction. Two mandates: first, fix what we have; second, turn it into a network. Our products are SaaS β€” building a network on top of them is the logical next step, and you're the one who does it.
This isn't partner management. It's ownership of a channel end-to-end.

πŸ”₯ What You'll Do
Task #1 β€” Audit & fix the current program. Take everything we run today and put it in order: offers, creatives, partners, payout system. Find why we're not scaling and ship a clear fix.
Task #2 β€” Build the network. Convert the program into a full affiliate network from the ground up: structure, onboarding, offer distribution, economics.
Ongoing:
Offers & funnels β€” rework existing offers and sales funnels to market demand; brief creative on high-converting banners, landers, and promo assets.
Partnerships β€” onboard top-tier partners (direct affiliates, webmasters, networks); build long-term win-win relationships, not transactions.
Traffic & economics β€” own traffic quality and fraud control; optimize across CPA / RevShare / CPS against CPA, ROI, LTV.
Testing β€” new GEOs, sources, and partner-acquisition angles.

βœ… What We're Looking For
4+ years in affiliate marketing, with hands-on experience in both an affiliate program and an affiliate network.
Proven track record building, restructuring, or scaling affiliate programs or networks.
Must-have: existing network of affiliate contacts (direct or network deals) and immediate access to scalable traffic.
Ownership β€” you treat the channel as your own business, not a task list.
Funnel expertise β€” read conversion data, spot offer weaknesses, write clear design/copy briefs.
Data-driven problem solver β€” see the business bottleneck behind the numbers.
Strong negotiation β€” pitch offers to top partners, close exclusive terms.
English B2+ (negotiations and business correspondence).

🎯 KPIs
Network growth β€” high-quality traffic volume and active affiliate base.
ROI & unit economics β€” profitability and margins.
CRO β€” conversion at every funnel step (click β†’ lead β†’ deposit / purchase).
Partner retention & LTV.
πŸ’° Compensation: competitive base + aggressive bonus tied to partner onboarding, offer performance, and total traffic profit.

🌍 What We Offer
Full ownership & autonomy β€” your direction, zero micromanagement.
Fast team β€” quick decisions, full resource support (budgets, design, dev).
Remote-first β€” flexible hours and location.
Benefits β€” paid vacation, sick leave, health insurance.
Culture β€” real work-life balance, mutual respect, ownership, genuine passion for the results.
