RXMG

About The Position

RXMG is a performance marketing company that helps leading brands acquire and engage customers through data-driven, multi-channel marketing. Since 2014, we’ve partnered with companies across industries including finance, insurance, and home services to deliver scalable customer acquisition through email, SMS, paid media, and strategic partnerships. Our team focuses on combining technology, analytics, and creative marketing to drive measurable results for our clients. At RXMG, we move fast, solve problems collaboratively, and continuously innovate to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

We offer a competitive benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance, 401k benefits, flexible PTO, and a collaborative environment where employees can grow their careers while making a real impact. Our team values transparency, ownership, and a startup mindset that encourages new ideas and continuous improvement. We are seeking an experienced Affiliate Manager to grow and manage our affiliate publisher network. This is a revenue-driving role, not a traditional account management position. This role is responsible for recruiting new publishers, building strategic partnerships, and managing a portfolio of high-value affiliates that drive consistent revenue growth. The ideal candidate has an established network within the affiliate marketing ecosystem and a strong track record of sourcing and developing publisher relationships. This individual will play a key role in expanding our partner base while managing and scaling existing affiliates across multiple offers and campaigns. This role is ideal for someone who already has strong relationships within the affiliate ecosystem and wants to leverage those relationships to help grow a high-performing affiliate network. In addition to managing publisher relationships, this role will also provide guidance on the types of offers and verticals the network should prioritize in order to attract and retain high-quality affiliate partners.
