Affiliate Manager - Poker

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Affiliate Manager - Poker based in Ireland.

This is an exciting opportunity to drive affiliate growth within the online poker industry across a key regional market. You will own the development of a poker affiliate portfolio, from identifying and closing new partnerships to maximising the commercial performance of existing relationships. The role combines business development, partner management, commercial negotiation, and data-driven performance optimisation. You will work with affiliates and poker communities to attract players whose volume, quality, and longevity generate sustainable value. A strong understanding of poker player economics, rakeback structures, and acquisition models will be central to your success. You will have significant autonomy to shape deals, build a regional pipeline, and make informed decisions about scaling or renegotiating partnerships. This is a high-impact role for a commercially minded affiliate professional who understands both poker and the dynamics of long-term player acquisition.

Accountabilities: Source, develop, negotiate, and close new poker affiliate partnerships across the region, using CPA, revenue share, rakeback-based, and hybrid commercial models within agreed guidelines.

Build and maintain a strong pipeline of prospective affiliate partners across the regional poker and community landscape.

Structure commercial agreements with a clear understanding of poker player economics, balancing acquisition costs and rakeback against player volume, longevity, and net contribution.

Manage the existing regional affiliate portfolio as the primary day-to-day contact, strengthening relationships while maintaining a strong focus on commercial performance.

Monitor deal-level and cohort-level performance, including traffic quality, rake generation, player longevity, and overall partner profitability.

Identify underperforming or low-quality traffic sources and take timely action through optimisation, renegotiation, or termination of agreements.

Use performance data to assess partner quality and make commercially sound decisions regarding investment and deal structures.

Maintain accurate records of partners, commercial terms, performance, and payment schedules.

Report regularly on newly closed deals, pipeline development, portfolio performance, risks, and growth opportunities.

Escalate commercial terms that fall outside established guidelines while exercising strong independent judgment in day-to-day negotiations.

Requirements

Hands-on experience negotiating and managing CPA, revenue share, rakeback-based, and hybrid affiliate arrangements.

Demonstrated experience analysing cohort quality, rake generation, player longevity, traffic performance, and partner profitability.
