At EcomSEO, we’re a profit-focused SEO agency helping e-commerce brands (mostly Shopify) turn organic and partner channels into reliable profit engines – not just “more traffic.”
Our clients are ambitious founders and marketing leads doing roughly €500k–€20M per year. They’re tired of agencies that overpromise, underdeliver, and hide behind vague reports. We win by doing the opposite: transparency, real execution, and revenue-focused strategy.
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.
Tasks
In this role, you will:
- 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.
Requirements
We’re looking for someone who recognises themselves in most of this:
Experience & Skills
- 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.
Mindset & Culture Fit
- 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
What you can expect from us:
- 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.
If you’re an Affiliate Marketing Manager who loves performance, enjoys building real relationships with partners, and wants to help e-commerce brands escape their dependency on paid ads alone, we’d love to meet you.
Please apply with:
- Your CV
- A short description of one affiliate program you’ve grown (starting situation, what you did, and impact on revenue/profit)
- Any screenshots, case studies or examples you’re proud of (can be anonymised)
We review every application and invite selected candidates to:
- A quick intro call about mutual fit
- A practical case/strategy discussion around taking over and scaling a client’s affiliate program
