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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” EPC, conversion rate, ROAS, incrementality โ€” 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 โ€” new publisher categories, commission incentives, seasonality plays โ€” 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

  • 2โ€“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 โ€” not just maintain one.

  • Strong analytical skills; comfortable pulling and interpreting data in affiliate networks, BI tools, etc.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication โ€” 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.
