Affiliate Team Manager

 

Let's start with the role

As our Affiliate Team Manager for LATAM, you will own the strategic direction and commercial performance of Betano's affiliate ecosystem across the region, with direct responsibility for Spanish-speaking LATAM markets and a dotted-line remit over Brazil.  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. 

• Own the LATAM affiliate strategy end-to-end, setting regional priorities, commercial models, and growth targets aligned with Kaizen Gaming's broader market ambitions.
• Lead, coach, and develop a team of Affiliate Managers across LATAM, establishing clear performance standards and operating cadence.

• Drive performance optimization across the regional portfolio, holding accountability for main KPIs at country and portfolio level.
• Partner with Country Managers to translate market-level strategy into affiliate execution, and act as the regional commercial authority on affiliate matters.
• Build and govern the regional tooling and process stack: affiliate platforms, attribution and tracking, BI and reporting, fraud prevention, and compliance tooling.
• Own affiliate compliance and risk management across LATAM, working with Legal and Compliance to ensure adherence to local regulatory frameworks and embedding safeguards against reputational, regulatory, and financial exposure.
• 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.
