Full Time

About 4am Media
4AM Media owns and operates 3 DTC brands across health, cleaning, and pets. Last year we spent over $40M across paid media scaling our own products. We're not an agency. We're operators – supply chain, creative, custom funnels, media buying, analytics, and customer service all happen under one roof.

About the Role
We’re looking for a growth-driven Affiliate Manager to build and scale affiliate partnerships across our portfolio of direct-to-consumer brands. This is a business development role at its core: you’ll find new partners, grow existing relationships, and drive revenue through the affiliate channel.

You’ll own the full partner lifecycle, from outreach and negotiation to performance optimization, while working closely with internal teams to spot new opportunities and scale what’s working. The ideal candidate is part dealmaker, part analyst, and thrives in a fast‑paced, performance‑driven environment.

Optimize Performance & Profitability

Track affiliate performance, traffic quality, and margins across offers and verticals

Analyze key metrics (EPCs, CVRs, margins, breakevens) to find growth and optimization opportunities

Recommend payout and offer adjustments to scale profitably

Manage Operations & Tracking

Monitor fraud, compliance, and traffic quality, and troubleshoot tracking issues

Collaborate Cross‑Functionally

Partner with media buying, creative, product, and operations teams to improve results

Support international expansion through geo launches and market readiness

Report & Plan for Growth

Proven track record growing affiliate or partnership revenue

Strong negotiation and relationship‑building skills
