Leading a team of Affiliate Managers, you will set the regional agenda, design the commercial framework, and drive scalable, compliant, ROI-positive growth across one of Kaizen Gaming's most strategic geographies.
As an Affiliate Team Manager you will:

- Establish regional governance: contract standards, approval thresholds, payment controls, audit trails, and onboarding protocols.
- Lead senior partner relationships, top-tier affiliates, content partners, strategic networks and creators.
- Integrate affiliates department with the wider digital marketing ecosystem to identify cross-channel leverage and avoid cannibalisation.
- Deliver regional performance reporting and insights to executive stakeholders, translating data into clear commercial decisions and forward-looking plans.
- Monitor the competitive landscape, regulatory shifts, and market-specific dynamics across LATAM, and translate signals into strategic moves.
