About The Position

GoHealth is seeking a Manager of Affiliate Marketing to own and grow a portfolio of high-performing acquisition partners that drive qualified Medicare and health insurance leads at scale. This role sits at the intersection of partnership management, performance optimization, and revenue strategy, responsible for building, expanding, and optimizing relationships with affiliate publishers, media partners, and lead generation partners. This is a highly visible, hands-on role focused on partner performance, deal economics, and growth, not day-to-day ad buying.

Requirements

Strong partner management and commercial negotiation skills.
Deep understanding of performance-based acquisition models (CPL, CPA, revenue share).
Highly analytical, with the ability to evaluate traffic quality, unit economics, and ROI at the partner level.
Comfortable managing multiple external partners while coordinating internal stakeholders.
Confident presenting performance, forecasts, and recommendations to senior leadership.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
3–5+ years of experience in affiliate marketing, performance partnerships, or lead generation, with direct ownership of partner relationships and budgets.

Experience in healthcare, insurance, or regulated industries is a plus, but not required.
