[Hiring] Affiliate Marketing Manager @EcomSEO

Role Description

We’re now looking for a fully remote Affiliate Marketing Manager who can fully take over and scale a client’s affiliate program – from strategy and recruitment to optimization and reporting – with a strong emphasis on performance and profitability.

• Own the affiliate marketing channel for selected e-commerce clients end-to-end – strategy, setup, execution and optimization.
• Design or refine the client’s affiliate program structure: commission models, tiers, bonus campaigns, and partner segmentation based on performance and profitability.
• Select, set up, and manage affiliate platforms/networks (e.g. Impact, PartnerStack, Refersion, ShareASale, Awin, Shopify apps) depending on the client’s tech stack.
• Proactively recruit new affiliates: content sites, influencers, deal sites, comparison portals, niche blogs and YouTube/Instagram/TikTok creators aligned with the brand.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with top affiliates through regular communication, performance reviews, and joint campaign planning.
• Create clear affiliate assets and guidelines: tracking links, landing page recommendations, product angle suggestions, promo calendars, and simple “plug-and-play” promo kits.
• Collaborate with our SEO & content team to ensure affiliate content aligns with SEO strategy (e.g. review pages, comparison articles, listicles) and brand guidelines.
• Monitor performance daily/weekly: EPC, ROAS, new customers, LTV signals, and margin – not just clicks and impressions. You’ll cut what doesn’t work and double down on what does.
• Implement testing: different commission structures, creatives, landing pages, and funnels to find the most profitable combination for each client.
• Report clearly to clients and internally – what you did, why, and how it impacted revenue and profit, in an honest and straightforward way (no black box).
• Help us build and refine internal playbooks, checklists, and “Affiliate Growth Frameworks” so each new client benefits from previous learnings.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on affiliate marketing experience, ideally in e-commerce / DTC.
• Proven track record of scaling affiliate programs with clear revenue and profit impact (you can show examples, even if anonymised).
• Experience working with affiliate networks/platforms (e.g. Impact, Awin, PartnerStack, CJ, Refersion, GoAffPro, etc.).
• Strong understanding of performance marketing metrics: EPC, CPA, ROAS, contribution margin, LTV, payback period.
• Comfortable with Shopify or similar e-commerce platforms and basic tracking setups (UTMs, pixel-based tracking, coupon-based tracking, post-purchase attribution, etc.).
• Solid analytical skills – you can read data from GA4 / platform dashboards and turn it into simple decisions and clear next steps.
• Strong written and spoken English for communicating with affiliates and clients. Any additional languages are a plus.

Requirements

• You’re profit-obsessed: you care about net results for the client, not just “growing the program” on paper.
• You’re transparent and ethical – no shady traffic sources or fake numbers. Long-term brand and partner relationships matter to you.
• You like ownership: you’re happy to “take over the channel” and be accountable for its performance, with support from the team where needed.
• You’re structured and proactive. You don’t wait for clients to ask “what’s next?” – you bring them the plan.
• You’re comfortable in a small, expert team with an informal but high-standard culture (direct feedback, occasional memes, no ego).

Benefits

• Fully remote role – work from wherever you’re most productive.
• High ownership: you’ll be the main driver of the affiliate channel for real brands, not just “support.”
• Work with serious e-commerce brands (mostly 6–8 figure monthly revenue) where performance actually matters and budgets are meaningful.
• A culture built on integrity, transparency and long-term partnerships – both with clients and within the team.
• Direct collaboration with senior SEO and growth specialists – you’ll learn a lot about organic, CRO, and data-driven decision-making.
• Competitive compensation with performance-based upside (bonuses tied to client results / channel growth).
• Room to grow into a Lead Affiliate / Partner Marketing Lead role as we expand.

Company Description

EcomSEO is a profit-focused SEO agency for ambitious 7+ figure e-commerce brands. We mainly help Shopify and DTC stores turn organic search into a reliable revenue engine, not just a traffic channel. With a very hands-on approach, we act as a long-term growth partner: transparent, data-driven and obsessed with profit, not vanity metrics. Clients come to us after “snake oil” agencies – and stay because we actually execute.
