Why this is your dream job

As a Senior Affiliate Manager, you’ll ensure that our 17,000+ affiliate partners have a seamless AppSumo experience. If you’re a super-organized people person with excellent communication skills, this role is for you. Tech-savvy go-getters, who can build relationships through emails and personalized check-ins, we want to talk to you! 

What you’ll be doing

  • Vetting and recruiting affiliates to join our program
  • Strategizing on outbound email campaigns to nurture, grow, and re-engage accounts
  • Providing support to our affiliates through tools like Slack, Helpscout, and MixMax
  • Managing affiliate housekeeping and maintenance in our CRM
  • Project managing marketing partnerships 
  • Build your team to continue growing the network

This is a unique role that requires organization, a proven track record of growing programs, and out-of-the-box thinking. That, along with a can-do attitude and a willingness to jump on projects without every step defined.

Past experience

  • 3+ years of experience working for a SaaS, e-commerce, or tech company in an affiliate marketing role
  • Experience managing and growing an 8-figure affiliate program 
  • Knowledgeable in key affiliate marketing tools (Impact.com, Brand24, etc.) 
  • Impeccable written and verbal communication skills
  • The ability to prioritize and pay attention to details under pressure
  • Experience running email campaigns and nurturing long-term relationships 

In the first three months of this role, success means owning our affiliate recruiting process, managing outreach email campaigns, and coming up with creative solutions to help grow our affiliate network. 

The benefits:

  • Health insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield, plus vision, dental, life insurance, and mental health services for you and your loved ones
  • 401(k) matching
  • 100% hybrid work model—work from home or the office
  • Open vacation (PTO) policy (plan to make your Slack status a “🌴” at least one week per quarter)

Unique perks to take care of you:

  • Freedom to have a side hustle (we don’t treat that word like it’s Voldemort)
  • Free access to all the software and tools in the AppSumo marketplace
  • An invite to our annual all-expenses-paid company trip (think Costa Rican Resort, not teambuilding at Generic Corporate Venue #84)
  • Flexible hours that let you start late or take that midday power nap
  • Access to our dog-friendly, snack-packed office in Austin
  • Free lunch once a week, all the gear you need and work that actually makes an impact

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in AppSumo’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.


Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
