Key Responsibilities:

• Strategy & Growth: Develop and execute an aggressive affiliate marketing strategy to drive high-volume traffic and ROI-positive conversions.

• Relationship Management: Maintain and optimize relationships with existing partners to ensure GlassesUSA.com remains their top-performing brand.
• Campaign Optimization: Analyze performance data daily to optimize commissions, creative assets, and conversion rates.
• Negotiation: Negotiate commercial terms and "flat fee" placements to secure premium visibility on partner sites.

Requirements:

• Experience: 3+ years of proven experience in Affiliate Marketing or Partnership Management, preferably within the E-commerce or D2C space.
• Market Expertise: Deep familiarity with the US consumer market and American digital media landscape.
• Sales Acumen: Strong sales and negotiation skills—you aren’t afraid to "cold call" a potential partner or negotiate for better placement.
• Native English:
  Native-level English speaker (or equivalent fluency) is a significant advantage, as you will be communicating daily with US-based partners.
• Analytical Skills: Comfortable working with data and affiliate platforms (e.g., Impact, ShareASale, CJ) to track performance and make informed decisions.
• Self-Starter: A proactive individual who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
