Responsibilities

• Building the affiliate programme from zero, deal framework, CPA benchmarks, platform, tracking, reporting, and partner pipeline operational before the first Affiliate Manager joins.
• Personally owning the top 10–15 partner relationships, sourcing, negotiating, activating, and growing the most commercially significant affiliates on the programme.
• Setting the commercial and channel strategy defining where to play, how to structure deals, and how to make the programme every serious affiliate wants to be on.
• Hiring and leading the affiliate team: Affiliate Manager and Strategy & Ops Manager in Phase 1, with headcount added only when the programme proves it needs it.
• Owning the numbers: Active users and revenue targets, tracked weekly, with full accountability for hitting them.
• Building the brand: conferences, community presence, and a reputation for fast payments and real data; making the brand known in the affiliate world for the right reasons.

• 5+ years in affiliate or partnerships at a gaming or crypto operator, operator-side only, not agency or network.
• Has owned a revenue or acquisition target and is personally accountable for hitting it.
• Has structured and negotiated CPA, rev share, and hybrid deals independently, not just executed within someone else's framework.
• Has hired and led a team, this is a people leader role from day one.
