Affiliate Marketing Specialist

BDBC is looking for an experienced affiliate marketer to join our award-winning and fast-growing performance PR agency.

About BDBC:

BDBC is a boutique performance PR firm for apparel and lifestyle brands.

We work collaboratively with our clients to craft pitches that editors actually want to see, and secure placements in top tier publications that drive direct sales and increase brand awareness.

Current clients include Buck Mason, Bandit Running, Mack Weldon, Ten Thousand, and more.

About the position:

We are looking for an experienced affiliate marketer to work in tandem with our PR account managers to help secure placements in tier 1 publications, while also managing the day-to-day of multiple clients’ affiliate dashboards.

This role differs from traditional affiliate marketing positions in that your chief focus will be on optimizing and leveraging our tier 1 content partnerships. Very little part of your day will be spent working with coupon partners, loyalty partners, or tier 2 & 3 publishers - we only want the good stuff.

You will report directly to the company’s CEO, and work alongside our entire eight-person staff. You will also interact directly with clients on a daily basis, and be their point person for all things affiliate related.

Specific duties to include:

• Help clients set-up new affiliate programs, or audit clients’ existing affiliate programs, and advise on and execute best practices
• Manage program approvals / rejections for multiple clients
• Pitch publication affiliate managers new products, sales, best-sellers, et al
• Negotiate with publication affiliate managers on commission rates, list rankings, and adding clients to existing articles
• Provide clients with detailed yet easy-to-understand weekly reporting that includes revenue generated, commissions paid, click activity, and top partners
• Answer all client questions in a timely manner

Success in this role looks like:

• A measurable increase in monthly PR placements for our clients in tier 1 publications
• A measurable increase in direct affiliate partnerships established with tier 1 publications
• A measurable increase in the percentage of revenue driven by PR placements for our clients
• Effectively and expeditiously communicating with clients and team members
• Totally owning the role like an mf-in’ bawse

This is a full-time, salaried position. All BDBC employees are also eligible for health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(K) with employer match, and six weeks paid vacation / sick leave.

It is also fully remote. However, we do follow the standard Mon-Fri / 9-5 work schedule (EST).

About you:

• You have at least three years experience in affiliate marketing and an in-depth understanding of the current affiliate landscape
• You’ve helped manage programs for fashion and lifestyle brands - OR - you've worked on the affiliate team at a major publication
• You are proficient in a variety of affiliate platforms (Awin, Impact, Skimlinks, et al)
• You have existing contacts in the tier 1 content space
• You have excellent communications skills, and are able to help non-affiliate professionals understand the ins-and-outs of their program
• You are extremely detail oriented
• You are great at time management and meeting deadlines
• You work well on your own, but...
• You are not too embarrassed or proud to ask for help when you need it
• You are looking for a position you can make your own
