Affiliate Operations Manager — Plano, TX

The Affiliate Operations Manager runs the day-to-day engine behind the KndFx9dPQFPFuBa affiliate program. You'll own onboarding, tracking, commissions, compliance, and reporting so every affiliate is set up correctly, paid accurately, and measured against clear numbers.

This is an execution role. Partnership strategy and new deal sourcing sit with the partnerships team. Your job is to make sure everything they bring in runs cleanly, consistently, and at scale.

If you're the person who builds the tracker before anyone asks for it, catches the discrepancy before it becomes a problem, and gets real satisfaction from a process that just works, this role is for you.

Affiliate Program Operations:

• Own end-to-end onboarding for new affiliates: agreements, account setup, tracking links, promo codes, creative assets, and kickoff

• Manage the affiliate platform and keep tracking, attribution, and coupon configuration accurate

• Maintain a single source of truth for every affiliate, including terms, commission structure, contacts, status, and history

Commissions and Payouts

• Run the monthly commission cycle: reconcile conversions, apply refunds and chargebacks, calculate rev share, CPA, and hybrid payouts, and submit for approval on schedule

• Partner with finance on payout timing, tax documentation (W-9 / W-8BEN), and clean audit trails

• Investigate and resolve tracking or payout disputes quickly, with documentation to back up every decision

Compliance

• Monitor affiliate content and promotions for brand, disclosure, and regulatory compliance

• Flag and escalate fraud signals such as self-referrals, coupon leakage, and incentivized or bot traffic

• Enforce program terms consistently and keep records of every action taken

Reporting and Performance

• Produce weekly and monthly reporting on affiliate revenue, conversions, CAC, LTV, and payout costs

• Spot underperforming affiliates and emerging trends, and bring clear recommendations to the team

• Maintain dashboards that leadership can read and trust without needing a walkthrough

Cross Functional Execution

• Coordinate with marketing on promo calendars, launches, and creative requests

• Work with product and engineering to troubleshoot tracking, landing page, and checkout attribution issues

• Keep affiliates informed on program updates, promotions, and policy changes through regular, organized communication

Requirements:

• Exceptional organization. You can manage dozens of affiliates, deadlines, and details at once without anything slipping

• Strong spreadsheet skills and comfort reconciling large data sets and catching errors

• High attention to detail

• Clear, concise written communication

• Comfort working independently and building process where none exists yet

Nice to Have:
