THE ROLE
Ziina's affiliate channel has grown organically and is already proving itself as a high-performing acquisition engine. We're now at an inflection point -with the expansion into consumer and growing complexity across merchant partnerships, it's time to bring in a dedicated owner to take what's been built and scale it into a structured, repeatable, and automated growth channel.
As an Affiliate Partnerships Specialist at Ziina, you'll inherit strong traction and real validation, but the next phase -tiered incentive structures, fraud controls, consumer experimentation, and operational automation -needs focused leadership to unlock.
AS AN AFFILIATE PARTNERSHIPS SPECIALIST AT ZIINA YOU WILL:
- Take full ownership of the affiliate channel and scale it from a high-performing initiative into a predictable, compounding acquisition engine
- Recruit, onboard, and activate an expanding network of affiliate partners -including agency owners, SaaS founders, influencers, consultants, and ecosystem operators
- Design structured incentive tiers and negotiate bespoke commission arrangements that reward performance and drive the right behaviours
- Build and maintain reporting infrastructure and introduce automation across commission calculations, partner tracking, and performance workflows
- Lead Ziina's consumer affiliate expansion -running structured experiments, measuring impact, and iterating based on results
- Implement fraud detection and risk controls that protect channel integrity as volume scales
- Work closely with Business Development, Marketing, and Finance to ensure the channel grows profitably and in alignment with company goals
- Own your numbers -TPV, CPAM, LTV/CAC, and contribution margin -and use them to drive decisions
TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE, YOU LIKELY:
- Have 2–5 years of experience in affiliate marketing, performance partnerships, or growth marketing
- Have a solid grasp of affiliate programme mechanics -tracking, attribution, commission structures, and incentive design
- Are highly data-driven and comfortable translating performance insights into concrete action
- Have experience managing external partner relationships and negotiating commercial terms
- Are operationally strong -you build scalable systems, not just manage day-to-day execution
- Are comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where the playbook is still being written
- Have hands-on experience with affiliate platforms such as Impact, PartnerStack, or similar tools
- Communicate clearly and work well across functions -you can align stakeholders without needing to escalate
WHAT WOULD AMAZE US
- You've built or significantly scaled an affiliate programms from the ground up, not just inherited one
- You've run affiliate motions across both B2B and B2C segments simultaneously
- You have experience in the MENA fintech or consumer apps ecosystem
- You've introduced automation or tooling that meaningfully reduced operational overhead and improved programme accuracy
- You've managed complex, tiered partner structures with a clear focus on profitability and LTV -not just top-line volume
