ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

About the Role

Reporting to the Influencer Marketing Manager, you’ll own and run RYZE’s affiliate program on AspireIQ end to end — recruiting affiliates, managing the platform, optimizing commission structures, and ensuring the program consistently drives revenue and surfaces high-performing creators for paid partnerships.

This is a performance role. You’ll be measured on affiliate-driven revenue, program growth, and the quality of the creator pipeline you build.

What You’ll Do

• Onboarding, and platform administration.

• Set and manage commission structures, codes, and links, and process affiliate payouts accurately and on time.

• Monitor program performance (clicks, conversions, revenue) and report on affiliate contribution to overall creator-driven revenue.

• Build and maintain a pipeline of high-performing affiliates, sourcing new creators and promoting standout creators into paid tiers.

• Ensure affiliate content and disclosures meet FTC guidelines and RYZE brand standards.

• Monitor for fraud, coupon abuse, and policy violations, and resolve escalations.

• Partner with finance and ops on payout reconciliation and reporting.

• Communicate regularly with affiliates on program updates, incentives, and performance feedback to keep top performers engaged.

• Consistently run A/B tests to optimize different areas of the affiliate funnel.

What We’re Looking For

Someone who treats affiliate marketing as a performance channel, not an admin function. You know how commission structures work, what drives affiliate motivation, and how to read program data to find what to optimize next. You’re organized enough to manage a high volume of affiliate relationships without errors in payouts or tracking, and sharp enough to know which creators to invest in and which to cut. You understand FTC requirements and take compliance seriously without it slowing you down.

Experience

• 3+ years of experience in affiliate or influencer marketing, ideally managing a program on AspireIQ or a similar affiliate platform.

• Comfort with commission structures, payout processes, and performance metrics.

• Extremely organized, with strong attention to detail managing a high volume of affiliate relationships.

• Solid spreadsheet skills (Google Sheets/Excel) for tracking and reporting.

• Clear, professional written communication.

• A performance mindset and bias toward action.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AspireIQ specifically.

• Familiarity with FTC disclosure requirements for affiliate and influencer content.

• Food & beverage or wellness category experience.

• Experience supporting a gifting or paid creator program alongside affiliate.

• Experience managing community platforms like Google Groups, Discord, etc.

Location & Travel

Remote (US), with occasional travel for content shoots, creator events, and experiential activations.
