Affiliate Marketing Manager

Affiliate Marketing Manager
Build High-Performance Affiliate Programs with Us

Clique Affiliate Marketing is an award-winning performance marketing agency based in Park City, Utah. We build and scale affiliate programs for premium D2C brands and ecommerce retailers. 

We’re hiring a full-time, remote Affiliate Marketing Manager to own and grow affiliate programs for some of the most respected brands in ecommerce.

We have a simple goal at Clique: provide our clients with next-level service and strategic expertise that sets their affiliate programs apart. 

This requires people who take pride in producing excellent work, are motivated to keep learning, and genuinely want to grow.

We’re not necessarily looking for the person with the most years of experience. We’re looking for someone with a strong affiliate marketing foundation who is hungry, curious, organized, strategic, and willing to put in the work to become exceptional at what they do.
We have fun, value flexibility, and don't take ourselves too seriously—but we take our work and our responsibility to our clients very seriously.
Qualified candidates must be based in the United States.
What You’ll Do
As an Affiliate Marketing Manager, you’ll own the day-to-day management and strategy of multiple ecommerce affiliate programs.

• Develop and execute strategies to grow affiliate revenue, acquire new customers, and improve program performance
• Recruit, activate, and optimize affiliate publishers and partnerships
• Analyze performance data to identify trends, opportunities, and risks
• Turn data and insights into actionable recommendations for clients
• Develop promotional, publisher, and commission strategies
• Lead client onboarding, meetings, performance reviews, and strategic conversations
• Build strong relationships with clients, publishers, affiliate networks, and technology partners
• Manage affiliate platforms, tracking, product catalogs, offers, commissions, and reporting
• Troubleshoot platform, tracking, and operational issues
• Coordinate projects internally and ensure deadlines and deliverables are met
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve the programs you manage

This isn't a role where you'll simply work through a task list. We expect our Affiliate Managers to understand their clients’ businesses, think strategically, identify opportunities, and take ownership of results.
What Makes Someone Successful at Clique
You take pride in your work: You care about the details, hold yourself to a high standard, and want to produce work you’re proud to put in front of a client.
You’re a self-directed learner and problem solver: We provide training and support, but we expect you to take ownership of learning. You should be comfortable researching problems, reading platform documentation, completing certifications, learning new tools, and making a real effort to find solutions independently.
You retain and apply what you learn: Training should make you increasingly capable and independent. You can take what you’ve learned and apply it to new situations and challenges.
You’re exceptionally organized: You’ll manage multiple clients, publishers, projects, meetings, deadlines, and priorities. You should be someone others can depend on to know what’s happening, what needs to happen next, and when it’s due.
You’re confident with clients: You communicate clearly, come to meetings prepared, explain performance and recommendations confidently, and can navigate challenging conversations professionally.
You’re a strategic thinker: You don’t just ask, “What do I need to do?” You think about what we’re trying to accomplish, why we’re doing it, and whether there’s a better approach.
You want to grow: You’re motivated to develop your skills, take on greater responsibility, and build a career—not simply find your next job.
Required Experience & Skills
You don't need the longest resume in the applicant pool, but you do need a strong foundation to build from.
Candidates must have:

• Hands-on experience managing ecommerce affiliate programs

• Hands-on working experience with Impact, AvantLink, and Rakuten Advertising

• Experience with publisher recruitment, optimization, reporting, offers, commissions, links, and promotional activity

  Agency experience, affiliate platform certifications, and experience with additional affiliate networks are a plus.
  The Clique Culture
  We're a team of performance marketers who also happen to love getting outside. A lot of us would rather be hiking, skiing, riding, running, or fishing than sitting behind a desk all day.
  We believe people do their best work when they're trusted to manage their time responsibly. If there's fresh snow or perfect riding weather, go enjoy it. Get your work done, take care of your clients and teammates, and manage your responsibilities.
  That flexibility comes with accountability.
  We're collaborative and laid-back, but we're also ambitious about the quality of the agency we're building. We challenge ourselves, learn from mistakes, help each other improve, and continually look for better ways to serve our clients.
  Our values are straightforward: Be Yourself. Be Passionate. Be Honest. Be Relentless. Be Thoughtful.
  Growth & Opportunity
  We want great people to build careers at Clique, not simply fill positions.
  High performers will have opportunities for expanded client ownership, greater strategic responsibility, professional development, leadership opportunities, and advancement into senior-level roles.
  Your growth at Clique will be driven by your performance, capabilities, and desire to take on more.
