BEFORE YOU APPLY

1. Have you personally managed an affiliate portfolio generating $1M+ USD in revenue in a single month?

2. Have you personally recruited or developed at least 3 affiliates that each reached $100K+ USD in monthly revenue?

THE OPPORTUNITY
DFO Performance is a global performance marketing company built around one thing: profitable scale.

Your job is simple:

Find serious affiliates. Get them live. Make them successful. Scale the winners. Own the revenue and profit.

This is not an account-management or coordination role. It is a commercial performance role.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Affiliate Recruitment
Recruit high-volume affiliates, publishers, media buyers, networks and performance partners across Europe, MENA and Asia.

Monthly affiliate revenue
Incremental new revenue

10+ meaningful active producing affiliates
Multiple affiliates exceeding $100K/month
$500K-$1M+ per month in incremental affiliate revenue

You will identify and act on:

Fraud
Fake orders
Incentivized traffic
Unauthorized brand bidding
Coupon abuse
Self-referrals

You must be willing to shut off revenue when the traffic is wrong.

You should know:

What competitors are paying
Which offers affiliates want
Why an affiliate increased volume
Why an affiliate stopped
Where conversion is breaking
Which creatives are working
Which GEOs are emerging
What payout or funnel changes would unlock additional profitable volume

You will work directly with DFO’s sales, media, creative, CRO, analytics, technology, finance, compliance and operations teams.

Meaningful commission or performance bonus tied to profitable affiliate revenue
Accelerators for exceeding revenue and profit targets
Additional bonuses for major new affiliate relationships
