Solid understanding of affiliate economics: EPC, commission tiers, attribution windows, incrementality.
Experience managing or coordinating with affiliate agencies and/or external partners.
Proven ability to recruit, vet, and grow a publisher base — not just maintain one.
Strong analytical skills; comfortable pulling and interpreting data in affiliate networks, BI tools, etc.

Organized and self-directed; you can manage multiple publisher relationships and timelines without dropping balls
Ability to report on performance and share out insights crossfunctionally
Experience with Asana, issuing tickets for creatives requested by publishers
Responsive to emails and Slack messages
Familiar with Google Sheets
Insight into creatives (ad copy, statics) and what drives performance within brand guidelines

Nice To Haves

Experience with additional affiliate networks (Impact, ShareASale, Rakuten).
Understanding of MTA measurement solutions (Northbeam)
Experience with UTM set up and tracking
Background in DTC or e-commerce, particularly in fashion apparel or home

Responsibilities

Own the Commission Junction platform: campaign setup, tracking, creative assets, commission structures, and reporting.
Serve as the primary point of contact for our affiliate agency partner(s), running weekly syncs, setting priorities, and holding them accountable to performance targets.
Monitor program health across key metrics — EPC, conversion rate, ROAS, incrementality — and surface insights and recommendations to leadership.
Vet, recruit, and onboard new publishers aligned with Comfrt's brand and customer profile (content, loyalty, CLOs, and sub-affiliate channels).
Audit the existing publisher mix regularly; deactivate underperformers and prioritize partners driving quality traffic.
Build and maintain strong publisher relationships to secure editorial features, dedicated sends, and high-visibility placements.
Negotiate and execute paid placements, newsletter features, and promotional integrations with top-tier publishers.
Collaborate with brand and creative teams to develop co-branded assets, content articles, and offers that resonate with affiliate audiences.
Manage a promotional calendar, coordinating affiliate-exclusive deals and seasonal pushes across the publisher base.
Identify gaps and opportunities within affiliate networks — new publisher categories, commission incentives, seasonality plays — and build a roadmap to capture them.
Test commission structures, landing pages, and creative to continuously improve conversion and program efficiency.
Contribute to budget planning and forecasting for the affiliate channel.
