• Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, sales, creative, and analytics teams to integrate affiliate influencer efforts into broader campaigns.
• Design and implement innovative affiliate marketing strategies that prioritize direct influencer engagement over third-party networks.
• Track, analyze, and report on program performance, using data-driven insights to optimize ROI and influencer impact.
• Negotiate contracts and partnership terms directly with influencers or their representatives.
• Manage affiliate marketing technology platforms and tools to support program operations and tracking.

 
Minimum Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in affiliate marketing with a strong focus on owned and operated influencer programs.
• Proven leadership in building and scaling first-party influencer affiliate programs.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.
• Strong mentorship skills, capable of leading projects independently and guiding junior team members.

• Strong analytical skills, with a focus on driving results and achieving business goals.
