About the role

Affiliate marketing is, above all, a relationship business.

Behind every successful retailer partnership is trust, communication, and a genuine commitment to helping both brands and consumers succeed. As an Affiliate Partnerships Manager, you'll become one of the key ambassadors of Surfmyads, building and strengthening long-term relationships with retailers, affiliate networks, and agencies across the industry.

This is not a role focused on simply managing existing accounts. We're looking for someone who enjoys meeting people, creating opportunities, and continuously expanding our network of partnerships. You'll work closely with brands to secure exclusive coupon codes, negotiate higher commission rates, develop promotional campaigns, identify paid placement opportunities, and help our portfolio of savings brands continue to grow.

Whether you're attending affiliate conferences, visiting partner offices, hosting virtual meetings, or collaborating with our internal teams, your work will directly influence the success of our brands and the value we deliver to millions of shoppers.

Location

This is a fully remote position, and we're excited to work with talented people regardless of where they live.

That said, we strongly prefer candidates located in or near the Santa Barbara, California area. Santa Barbara has long been an important hub within the affiliate marketing industry, and being nearby provides valuable opportunities to build relationships through in-person meetings, partner office visits, networking events, and industry conferences.

While day-to-day work is performed remotely, we believe that some of the strongest partnerships are built face-to-face. Candidates should be comfortable traveling to meet retailers, affiliate networks, agencies, and industry partners as opportunities arise.

What you will do

Build and maintain long-term relationships with retailers, affiliate managers, agencies, and affiliate networks.
Represent Surfmyads through video meetings, phone calls, in-person visits, conferences, and industry networking events.
Identify new partnership opportunities and onboard new retailers across our international portfolio of brands.
Negotiate exclusive coupon codes, promotional campaigns, higher commission rates, and strategic marketing opportunities.
Present new advertising products, featured placements, newsletters, and seasonal campaigns to partners.
Work closely with our editorial, engineering, and marketing teams to develop ideas that help our partners grow.
Analyze campaign performance, affiliate reports, and revenue trends to identify new opportunities for optimization.
Prepare campaign reports, performance updates, and business reviews for partner meetings.
Coordinate promotional calendars, homepage placements, email campaigns, and seasonal marketing initiatives.
Act as the voice of our partners internally by sharing feedback, identifying product improvements, and helping shape future features.
Help maintain accurate partnership records, campaign history, and communication through our proprietary internal management platform.

Who thrives in this role

The people who succeed in this position genuinely enjoy building relationships.

They're naturally curious, communicate confidently, stay organized, follow through on commitments, and take pride in helping others succeed. They understand that great partnerships aren't built through a single email — they're built through consistent communication, trust, reliability, and long-term thinking.

If you enjoy meeting new people, traveling to industry events, solving problems collaboratively, and becoming a trusted resource for your partners, you'll feel right at home at Surfmyads.
