About the Role

We are a fast-growing e-commerce brand looking for a proactive, results-driven Affiliate & Influencer Marketing Manager to build, manage, and scale our affiliate and influencer partnership channel.

This is not a task-based lead collection role. We're looking for someone who can own the full growth lifecycle, from finding partners to turning them into consistent revenue drivers: Research → Source → Qualify → Outreach → Follow-Up → Negotiate → Onboard → Activate → Optimize → Retain → Scale

What You'll Do

Research and identify relevant affiliates, influencers, and creators across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms

Build long-term relationships with high-performing partners

Identify and scale what's working; recommend new incentives and campaigns to grow affiliate revenue

Continuously analyze performance and propose new strategies, outreach angles, or process improvements to increase results month over month

Follow documented SOPs for outreach, tracking, and reporting, and flag inefficiencies or suggest updates when you find a better way

What We Expect

You take ownership instead of waiting for direction

You focus on outcomes (activated partners, revenue potential), not just activity (emails sent)

You follow our established SOPs and processes consistently, while identifying ways to improve them

You take full accountability for hitting daily and monthly KPIs: 800+ outreach emails/day and 100 affiliates onboarded and active by month-end and can explain performance, not just report it

You communicate clearly and follow through consistently
