Job description

SENIOR AFFILIATE MANAGER — EUROPE, MENA & ASIA
DFO Performance
Remote — Europe / MENA / Asia
International travel required

BEFORE YOU APPLY
This is a senior revenue-producing affiliate role.

We are not hiring someone who wants to become a senior Affiliate Manager. We are hiring someone who already is one.

You must be able to answer YES to every question below. If you cannot, do not apply.

1. Have you personally managed an affiliate portfolio generating $1M+ USD in revenue in a single month?

2. Have you personally recruited or developed at least 3 affiliates that each reached $100K+ USD in monthly revenue?

3. Do you personally know at least 10 serious affiliates, publishers, media buyers or networks across Europe, MENA or Asia that you could contact about a new offer during your first 30 days?

4. Have you personally owned decisions involving payouts, caps, EPC, CPA, CVR, profitability, traffic quality and scaling?

5. Have you personally owned a monthly affiliate revenue and profit target and been accountable for beating or missing it?

If the answer is not YES to all five, do not apply.

THE OPPORTUNITY
DFO Performance is a global performance marketing company built around one thing: profitable scale.

Your job is simple:

Find serious affiliates. Get them live. Make them successful. Scale the winners. Own the revenue and profit.

This is not an account-management or coordination role. It is a commercial performance role.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Affiliate Recruitment
Recruit high-volume affiliates, publishers, media buyers, networks and performance partners across Europe, MENA and Asia.

You should arrive with relationships. Cold outreach is still part of the job, but we are not hiring someone to build their first network.

Revenue

You will be accountable for:

  • Monthly affiliate revenue
  • Incremental new revenue
  • Revenue from affiliates you personally recruit
  • Revenue growth from existing affiliates
  • Revenue by GEO and offer


Profit
Revenue without profit does not count.

You must understand and actively manage:

  • Gross profit
  • Contribution margin
  • CPA
  • EPC
  • CVR
  • AOV
  • Approval rates
  • Refunds
  • Chargebacks
  • Payout economics
  • Traffic quality

If an affiliate asks for a higher payout, you should know whether DFO should say yes or no and why.

Scale
You should be capable of building toward:

  • 10+ meaningful active producing affiliates
  • Multiple affiliates exceeding $100K/month
  • $500K-$1M+ per month in incremental affiliate revenue
  • Ultimately owning a multi-million-dollar monthly affiliate portfolio

Speed
Strong opportunities should move quickly:

Conversation → Agreement → Tracking → Live Traffic → Scale

Traffic Quality
You will identify and act on:

  • Fraud
  • Fake orders
  • Incentivized traffic
  • Unauthorized brand bidding
  • Coupon abuse
  • Self-referrals
  • Poor customer quality
  • Misleading advertising
  • Compliance problems
  • Abnormal refunds
  • Abnormal chargebacks

You must be willing to shut off revenue when the traffic is wrong.

Commercial Intelligence
You should know:

  • What competitors are paying
  • Which offers affiliates want
  • Why an affiliate increased volume
  • Why an affiliate stopped
  • Where conversion is breaking
  • Which creatives are working
  • Which GEOs are emerging
  • What payout or funnel changes would unlock additional profitable volume


You will work directly with DFO’s sales, media, creative, CRO, analytics, technology, finance, compliance and operations teams.

YOUR SCORECARD
You will be measured on:

Recruitment

  • New qualified affiliates
  • New affiliates launched
  • New producing affiliates

Revenue

  • Monthly affiliate revenue
  • New affiliate revenue
  • Revenue growth
  • Revenue per affiliate

Scale

  • Affiliates exceeding $50K/month
  • Affiliates exceeding $100K/month
  • Top-partner growth
  • Successful cap and payout increases


Profitability

  • Gross profit
  • Contribution margin
  • CPA efficiency
  • Refund-adjusted revenue
  • Chargeback-adjusted revenue


Execution

  • Time to launch
  • Time to first conversion
  • Time to meaningful scale
  • Forecast accuracy
  • Speed resolving partner issues


Quality

  • Refund rate
  • Chargeback rate
  • Fraud rate
  • Traffic-quality incidents
  • Compliance incidents

COMPENSATION
We want a serious person, so we will pay like we want a serious person.

The package should include:

  • Top-of-market base compensation
  • Meaningful commission or performance bonus tied to profitable affiliate revenue
  • Accelerators for exceeding revenue and profit targets
  • Additional bonuses for major new affiliate relationships
  • Additional incentives for exceptional annual performance
  • International travel to major affiliate and performance-marketing events


Exceptional performance should not be artificially capped. If someone builds a major profitable affiliate business for DFO, their compensation should reflect it.

WHO WE WANT
Likely backgrounds:

  • Senior Affiliate Manager
  • Head of Affiliates
  • Affiliate Director
  • Senior Partnerships Manager
  • Performance Partnerships Director
  • Business Development Director in affiliate/performance marketing


Requirements:

  • Strong analytics and commercial skills
  • Hands-on tracking-platform experience
  • Everflow experience preferred

DO NOT APPLY IF
Do not apply if your background is primarily:

  • Influencer marketing
  • Brand partnerships
  • Social media
  • Affiliate administration
  • Partnership coordination
  • Reporting without revenue responsibility


Also do not apply if you cannot quantify:

  • Largest affiliate portfolio personally managed
  • Largest affiliate personally managed
