About Us:
Comfrt is one of the fastest-growing direct-to-consumer brands, dedicated to blending mental wellness, inclusivity, and elevated comfort into every piece we create. Our mission goes beyond clothing — we strive to build a community where everyone feels supported and seen.
About the Job:
Comfrt is looking for an Affiliate Specialist to own our Affiliate Network (CJ) end-to-end. You'll be the day-to-day operator and strategic driver of our affiliate channel — managing agency relationships, building a high-quality publisher portfolio, securing premium placements, and scaling program performance. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in the details while keeping an eye on growth.
Responsibilities:
Program Management
Own the Commission Junction platform: campaign setup, tracking, creative assets, commission structures, and reporting.
Serve as the primary point of contact for our affiliate agency partner(s), running weekly syncs, setting priorities, and holding them accountable to performance targets.
Monitor program health across key metrics — EPC, conversion rate, ROAS, incrementality — and surface insights and recommendations to leadership.
Publisher Development
Vet, recruit, and onboard new publishers aligned with Comfrt's brand and customer profile (content, loyalty, CLOs, and sub-affiliate channels).
Audit the existing publisher mix regularly; deactivate underperformers and prioritize partners driving quality traffic.
Build and maintain strong publisher relationships to secure editorial features, dedicated sends, and high-visibility placements.
Placements & Activations
Negotiate and execute paid placements, newsletter features, and promotional integrations with top-tier publishers.
Collaborate with brand and creative teams to develop co-branded assets, content articles, and offers that resonate with affiliate audiences.
Manage a promotional calendar, coordinating affiliate-exclusive deals and seasonal pushes across the publisher base.
Growth & Optimization
Identify gaps and opportunities within affiliate networks — new publisher categories, commission incentives, seasonality plays — and build a roadmap to capture them.
Test commission structures, landing pages, and creative to continuously improve conversion and program efficiency.
Contribute to budget planning and forecasting for the affiliate channel.
Qualifications:
2–4 years of experience in affiliate marketing, with hands-on ownership of affiliate agencies like CJ
Solid understanding of affiliate economics: EPC, commission tiers, attribution windows, incrementality.
Experience managing or coordinating with affiliate agencies and/or external partners.
Proven ability to recruit, vet, and grow a publisher base — not just maintain one.
Strong analytical skills; comfortable pulling and interpreting data in affiliate networks, BI tools, etc.
Excellent written and verbal communication — you can write a compelling publisher pitch and present results to leadership, as well as negotiate rates with publishers
Organized and self-directed; you can manage multiple publisher relationships and timelines without dropping balls
Ability to report on performance and share out insights crossfunctionally
Experience with Asana, issuing tickets for creatives requested by publishers
Responsive to emails and Slack messages
Familiar with Google Sheets
Insight into creatives (ad copy, statics) and what drives performance within brand guidelines
Nice to Have:
Experience with additional affiliate networks (Impact, ShareASale, Rakuten).
Understanding of MTA measurement solutions (Northbeam)
Experience with UTM set up and tracking
Background in DTC or e-commerce, particularly in fashion apparel or home
What Success Looks Like in One Year:
Publisher portfolio audited, cleaned up, and expanded with quality partners across priority categories.
Agency relationship structured with clear KPIs and regular reporting cadence.
Placement strategy in place with recurring features secured at top publishers.
Program revenue and ROAS trending up quarter-over-quarter.
