The Role

We’re looking for an Affiliate Manager to build and scale Polymarket’s affiliate acquisition engine. This person will own affiliate partnerships end-to-end — from recruiting and onboarding creators and publishers, to optimizing performance, attribution, payouts, and compliance.

This role is ideal for someone who has previous experience running affiliate programs and understands how to drive high-volume, high-quality first-time depositors through affiliate channels.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, launch, and manage partner integrations for Polymarket’s US + international affiliate marketing programs.
  

• Recruit, negotiate, and onboard affiliate partners, creators, publishers, and media networks.
  

• Optimize partner performance based on CPA, FTDs, LTV, and ROI.
  

• Design commission structures, payout terms, and performance incentives.
  

• Collaborate with Growth, Creator Partnerships, and Paid Media teams to align campaigns.
  

• Identify new affiliate opportunities across major publishers.
  

• Produce weekly performance reporting and insights for leadership.
  

Required Experience

• 4+ years managing affiliate programs for sportsbooks, media platforms, or consumer finance apps.
  

• Proven track record driving first-time depositors (FTDs) at scale.
  

• Experience with affiliate tracking platforms (Impact, CJ, etc.)
  

• Deep understanding of CPA, rev-share, hybrid deals, and attribution models.
  

• Experience recruiting creators, media publishers, and performance affiliates.
  

• Knowledge of sports affiliate marketing space.
  

• Strong negotiation and relationship management skills.
  

• Data-driven mindset with comfort in dashboards, analytics, and cohort tracking.
  

• Deep interest in sports, financial markets, politics, and pop culture — with the ability to spot trending moments and translate them into high-performing affiliate campaigns.

Nice to Have

• Experience launching affiliate programs from scratch.
  

• Familiarity with prediction markets, trading platforms, or fintech products.
  

• Existing network of sports affiliates and creator partners.
