Affiliate Specialist

United States

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.

Why Join Comfrt?

  • Be part of a purpose-driven company that’s shaping the future of comfort and mental wellness.
  • Work in a supportive, creative environment where your ideas and growth are valued.
  • Enjoy Comfrt benefits such as generous paid time off, company-covered health insurance, 5% 401k match, and discounts on all Comfrt products! 
  • Join a passionate team making an impact on exciting projects, all while enjoying the flexibility and collaborative support of a fully remote environment.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
