# Affiliate & Creator Partnerships Manager — Supplement Brand We are an established direct-to-consumer supplement brand looking for an experienced **Affiliate & Creator Partnerships Manager** to take ownership of recruiting, activating, and growing our affiliate program. **This is not a strategy-only role.** We need someone who has personally recruited affiliates and creators, gotten them to promote, followed up with them consistently, and can show actual revenue or recruitment results from previous programs. ### IMPORTANT: SUPPLEMENT EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Please only apply if you have worked directly with **supplement, wellness, health, nutraceutical, or closely related DTC brands**, with a strong preference for candidates who have specifically managed supplement affiliate programs. If your affiliate experience is primarily SaaS, fashion, agencies, finance, gaming, or unrelated industries, this role is not a fit. ## What You'll Own You will be responsible for building and actively managing our affiliate and creator pipeline from beginning to end. Your responsibilities will include: * Proactively identifying creators, affiliates, publishers, health educators, practitioners, micro-influencers and other relevant partners * Personally conducting high-volume outreach to recruit new affiliates * Following up with prospects instead of simply sending one message and waiting * Vetting creators for audience quality and brand fit * Onboarding approved affiliates into our program * Managing the affiliate program through **Impact / Impact.com** * Creating and managing links, tracking, partner groups, commissions and campaigns inside Impact * Maintaining an organized recruitment pipeline * Activating affiliates after they join so they actually begin promoting * Re-engaging affiliates who sign up but never generate traffic or sales * Building relationships with our highest-performing partners * Providing affiliates with promotions, product information, talking points, creative assets and campaign opportunities * Coordinating gifting or product seeding where appropriate * Tracking outreach, activation rates, clicks, conversions, revenue and affiliate performance * Identifying which types of creators actually generate customers rather than vanity engagement * Reporting weekly on outreach volume, recruits, activated affiliates, revenue and opportunities * Continuously expanding the program rather than waiting for inbound applications We already have a real brand, real products and an existing customer base. We need someone who can **bring us people.** ## Impact.com Experience **Hands-on experience with Impact is strongly preferred and should be clearly explained in your application.** You should be comfortable working inside affiliate software rather than requiring another team member to manage the technical side of the program for you. Please tell us specifically what you have personally done inside Impact, including any experience with: * Partner recruitment * Partner approvals * Tracking links * Commission structures * Partner groups * Campaigns * Reporting * Payouts * Performance analysis * Creator or affiliate communication Do not simply write "experienced with Impact." Tell us what you actually managed. ## What We're Looking For The ideal person: * Has **direct affiliate management experience for supplement or wellness brands** * Has personally recruited creators rather than only managing affiliates who came inbound * Understands how to find creators who can actually sell * Is comfortable doing significant outbound outreach every week * Has strong follow-up habits * Understands creator gifting and seeding * Can build relationships without needing constant supervision * Is highly organized * Is numbers-oriented * Understands DTC ecommerce * Can differentiate between views/engagement and actual revenue * Has experience turning smaller creators into productive long-term affiliates * Understands performance-based partnerships * Communicates clearly and moves quickly We are **not** looking for somebody who primarily wants to create PowerPoints, write strategy documents, or tell us what an affiliate program could theoretically look like. We need execution. ## Results Required With Your Application **Do not send a generic Upwork proposal.** To be considered, please include the following: 1. **Names or descriptions of the supplement/wellness brands you have worked with.** 2. The approximate size of the affiliate or creator programs you personally managed. 3. How many creators or affiliates you personally recruited. 4. How many became active promoters. 5. Revenue, sales, ROAS, conversion, or other performance results you can reasonably share. 6. Your experience using **Impact.com**, including exactly what you personally handled inside the platform. 7. One example of an affiliate or creator you personally recruited who became a meaningful revenue-producing partner. 8. Your typical weekly outreach volume when actively recruiting creators. We understand that some information may be confidential. You do not need to disclose private client data, but you should be able to provide enough detail for us to understand **what you actually accomplished.** Applications that only say: *"I've managed multiple successful affiliate programs and would love to help grow your brand"* will not be considered. ## Compensation We are open to structuring this as either: **Option 1: Monthly Retainer + Performance Bonus** Approximately **$2,000–$4,000/month base**, depending on experience and level of execution, plus performance incentives tied to meaningful affiliate growth and revenue. **Option 2: Hourly** Approximately **$30–$60/hour**, depending on proven supplement affiliate experience. We are willing to pay more for somebody with exceptional, verifiable results. Our preference is ultimately to create a structure where the person managing this channel benefits financially when the affiliate program produces meaningful incremental revenue. This can become a long-term role for the right person. ## What Success Looks Like We are not hiring based on how many creators you can put into a spreadsheet. We care about: **Creators contacted → creators recruited → affiliates activated → customers acquired → revenue generated.** Within the first several months, we want to see a growing pipeline of relevant partners, consistent new affiliate activations, stronger participation from existing affiliates, and measurable affiliate-generated revenue. # APPLICATION INSTRUCTION Please begin your proposal with: **"SUPPLEMENT AFFILIATE EXPERIENCE"** Then answer the eight results questions above. If you do not have direct supplement/wellness affiliate experience, please do not apply.
