Affiliate Marketing Manager

We are a fast-growing online forex broker looking for an Affiliate Marketing Manager to independently build, launch, and scale our affiliate program (web affiliates, media buyers, influencers, comparison websites, etc.). You will own the full cycle: strategy, partner acquisition, day‑to‑day management, analytics, and continuous optimization of traffic quality, FTDs, and ROI, with a strong focus on data‑driven decisions. 

Key responsibilities :

Develop and own the digital affiliate strategy to hit targets for traffic, leads, first‑time deposits, and revenue across priority markets. 

Set up and manage the affiliate program on in‑house tracking or third‑party platforms: tracking links, postbacks, commission models (CPA, CPL, RevShare, Hybrid), promo materials, and program terms. 

Identify, recruit, and onboard new digital affiliates (webmasters, SEO affiliates, PPC/media buyers, content sites, comparison portals, forex media websites, influencers, communities, email affiliates) through proactive outreach and networks. 

Build strong, long‑term relationships with affiliates, acting as their main contact for strategy, support, and optimization. 

Plan and execute affiliate campaigns and offers (bonuses, promotions, special landing pages) tailored to different partner types and GEOs. 

Monitor and analyze performance at partner, campaign, and traffic‑source level (clicks, leads, FTDs, revenue, eCPA, ROI, LTV) and optimize deals, placements, and creatives accordingly. 

Build and maintain dashboards and regular reports for the affiliate channel, using Excel/Sheets and our BI stack, and present insights and next steps to the team. 

Work closely with design and content to supply affiliates with localized, tested creatives (banners, pre‑landers, review pages, email creatives, social assets) and keep materials up to date. 

Coordinate with paid media, SEO, and CRM teams to avoid cannibalization, align messaging, and share insights on what works by geo and audience. 

Ensure strict compliance with brand, regulatory, and advertising policies for forex/CFDs, including monitoring partners for misleading claims, restricted channels, brand‑bidding, or non‑compliant content and taking corrective action. 

Implement and refine program processes (approval flows, QAs, payment cycles, communication routines) so the program is scalable and efficient. 

Stay on top of affiliate and performance marketing trends, competitor programs, and new traffic sources to keep the program competitive and growing. 

Requirements:

3+ years of experience in affiliate marketing / partner marketing in forex, trading, crypto, or other high‑performance verticals. 

Proven track record of launching or scaling affiliate programs and delivering measurable growth in FTDs and revenue at acceptable CAC/ROI. 

Strong understanding of affiliate models (CPA, CPL, RevShare, Hybrid), tracking concepts (postbacks, pixels, UTMs, attribution windows), and key quality metrics. 

Solid analytical and Excel/Sheets skills; comfortable slicing data, building partner‑level P&Ls, and making decisions based on performance. 

Experience with affiliate networks and in‑house tracking platforms; able to configure offers, caps, and reporting. 

Strong commercial and negotiation skills for setting and optimizing deal terms with partners. 

Excellent relationship‑building and communication skills in English. 

Familiarity with digital acquisition channels (PPC, SEO, social, email) and how affiliates use them to drive traffic. 

High ownership mindset, ability to work independently, and readiness to be fully accountable for the affiliate channel metrics. 

What success looks like: 

A growing base of active digital affiliates generating high‑quality, compliant traffic and FTDs at or below target CAC. 

Clear, consistent analytics and reporting for the affiliate channel, with regular optimizations to partner mix, creatives, and deals. 

Strong reputation and relationships in the affiliate space, with low fraud rates and high partner satisfaction.
