Affiliate Partnerships Manager
We are hiring on behalf of our client – an American media company with an office in Warsaw. They run a high-volume, performance-driven newsletter portfolio and drive traffic to advertisers and brand partners through owned channels. Affiliate revenue is a core part of the business, and they need someone to own the partner relationships that make it work.
This is a senior, commercial role. You will be the main point of contact for advertisers, affiliate networks, and affiliate managers — building relationships strong enough that partners bring you their best deals first, before anyone else sees them.
You will own payout negotiation end to end: commission rates, CPAs, rev shares, bonuses. That means reading performance data, spotting where a deal is underpriced, and pushing for better terms – not just accepting what a partner offers. You also own tracking hygiene across campaigns: links, sub-IDs, attribution, making sure nothing breaks and no revenue leaks.
Responsibilities

- Be the main point of contact for advertisers, affiliate networks, and affiliate managers

2. Payout negotiation & deal management
- Negotiate commission rates, CPAs, rev shares, and bonuses to maximize earnings

3. Tracking, links & execution
- Own tracking links, sub-IDs, parameters, and attribution hygiene across campaigns
- Prepare promo packages for internal teams (links, copy, creatives, instructions)
- Coordinate launches across multiple partners and deadlines at the same time
- Keep clean records of partners, offers, assets, and timelines
4. Performance & growth
- Monitor partner performance and flag where we’re leaving money on the table
- Improve partner workflows so we execute faster and capture more revenue
- Longer-term: industry events and conferences can be part of growth, but near-term focus is performance and revenue impact
Requirements
- 4+ years in affiliate / performance marketing (preferably publisher/traffic side)
- Proven experience negotiating payouts (CPA, rev share, commissions, bonuses) with advertisers or networks
