Affiliate Marketing Manager (E-commerce, Performance-Based)

At EcomSEO, we’re a profit-focused SEO agency helping e-commerce brands (mostly Shopify) turn organic and partner channels into reliable profit engines – not just “more traffic.”

Our clients are ambitious founders and marketing leads doing roughly €500k–€20M per year. They’re tired of agencies that overpromise, underdeliver, and hide behind vague reports. We win by doing the opposite: transparency, real execution, and revenue-focused strategy.

• Select, set up, and manage affiliate platforms/networks (e.g. Impact, PartnerStack, Refersion, ShareASale, Awin, Shopify apps) depending on the client’s tech stack.
• Proactively recruit new affiliates: content sites, influencers, deal sites, comparison portals, niche blogs and YouTube/Instagram/TikTok creators aligned with the brand.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with top affiliates through regular communication, performance reviews, and joint campaign planning.

• Collaborate with our SEO & content team to ensure affiliate content aligns with SEO strategy (e.g. review pages, comparison articles, listicles) and brand guidelines.
• Monitor performance daily/weekly: EPC, ROAS, new customers, LTV signals, and margin – not just clicks and impressions. You’ll cu
