KAM Affiliates Analyst

The KAM Affiliates is the commercial owner of the affiliate partner relationships that drive new user acquisition into the funnel. While this role sits within the Onboarding team, it operates at the intersection of commercial development, partner management, and lifecycle marketing  making it uniquely cross-functional.
Your core mission is simple but demanding: grow the volume of high-quality First-Time Depositors (FTDs) coming through affiliate channels by building stronger partnerships, removing friction from affiliate workflows, and creating the conditions that make it easy and commercially attractive for partners to send more users your way.
This is not a passive account management role. You are expected to think like a business developer, act like an operator, and communicate like a partner success manager.
