About
The company's affiliate channel has grown organically and is already proving itself as a high-performing acquisition engine. We're now at an inflection point - with the expansion into consumer and growing complexity across merchant partnerships, it's time to bring in a dedicated owner to take what's been built and scale it into a structured, repeatable, and automated growth channel. As an Affiliate Partnerships Specialist at the company, you'll inherit strong traction and real validation, but the next phase - tiered incentive structures, fraud controls, consumer experimentation, and operational automation - needs focused leadership to unlock.

Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of the affiliate channel and scale it from a high-performing initiative into a predictable, compounding acquisition engine
- Recruit, onboard, and activate an expanding network of affiliate partners - including agency owners, SaaS founders, influencers, consultants, and ecosystem operators
- Design structured incentive tiers and negotiate bespoke commission arrangements that reward performance and drive the right behaviours
- Build and maintain reporting infrastructure and introduce automation across commission calculations, partner tracking, and performance workflows
- Lead the company's consumer affiliate expansion - running structured experiments, measuring impact, and iterating based on results
- Implement fraud detection and risk controls that protect channel integrity as volume scales
- Work closely with Business Development, Marketing, and Finance to ensure the channel grows profitably and in alignment with company goals
- Own your numbers - TPV, CPAM, LTV/CAC, and contribution margin - and use them to drive decisions
Requirements
- Have 2–5 years of experience in affiliate marketing, performance partnerships, or growth marketing
- Have a solid grasp of affiliate programme mechanics - tracking, attribution, commission structures, and incentive design
- Are highly data-driven and comfortable translating performance insights into concrete action
- Have experience managing external partner relationships and negotiating commercial terms
- Are operationally strong - you build scalable systems, not just manage day-to-day execution
- Are comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the playbook is still being written
- Have hands-on experience with affiliate platforms such as Impact, PartnerStack, or similar tools
- Communicate clearly and work well across functions - you can align stakeholders without needing to escalate
What would amaze us
- You've built or significantly scaled an affiliate programme from the ground up, not just inherited one
- You've run affiliate motions across both B2B and B2C segments simultaneously
- You have experience in the MENA fintech or consumer apps ecosystem
- You've introduced automation or tooling that meaningfully reduced operational overhead and improved programme accuracy
- You've managed complex, tiered partner structures with a clear focus on profitability and LTV - not just top-line volume
