• Build and manage a structured affiliate recruitment pipeline, covering partner sourcing, qualification, onboarding, and activation.

• Expand the network into new traffic channels and partner types to diversify supply and increase offer placement opportunities.

• Represent the network at relevant industry events and conferences, including Affiliate Summit, LeadsCon, and MAU.

• Develop affiliate revenue and profitability by identifying opportunities across new offers, verticals, traffic sources, and payout structures.

• Build and maintain strong, consultative relationships with affiliates, acting as their primary point of contact and internal advocate.

• Monitor partner-level performance metrics, including earnings per click (EPC), conversion rate (CVR), volume, and margin, and identify opportunities to improve results through creative assets, placements, caps, and payouts.

• Manage an assigned portfolio of affiliate revenue and deliver against defined monthly and quarterly growth targets.

• Collaborate with account managers to align affiliate supply with advertiser demand and fill available capacity across the offer portfolio.

• Communicate advertiser feedback on traffic quality and campaign performance to affiliates, adjusting activity and partner strategies when necessary.

• Identify opportunities for scaling, increased caps, and additional offers, communicating these needs to account management proactively.

• Evaluate affiliates before activation, assessing their traffic sources, promotional methods, and commercial viability.

• Monitor performance against EPC and CVR benchmarks by traffic source, identify potential fraud or economically inconsistent activity, and take appropriate action.

• Ensure affiliate activity complies with advertiser requirements, network policies, and applicable regulatory standards.
