Affiliate Marketing Specialist

COMPANY 🌱 RYZE was founded in 2019 by Andrée Werner and Rashad Hossain, out of a parents' basement 🏠, with a mission to change daily health, starting with the morning routine: a nutrient-dense mushroom coffee ☕🍄 delivering clean energy ⚡, mental clarity 🧠, and immune support 🛡️. Built on a Direct-to-Consumer foundation with a performance marketing engine, RYZE achieved hockey-stick growth 📈 and a community of over 1 million active subscribers. 🎉 DTC remains the foundation, but RYZE has expanded into mass retail 🛒, quickly becoming the #2 item in Target's overall coffee category and is now executing a multi-channel expansion, with a cross-category launch coming in early 2027 🚀. RYZE is uniquely positioned to redefine how people think about daily wellness. ✨ We're a lean, fast-moving, mission-driven team who believe daily rituals create the foundation for living your greatest life, and we're just getting started! 🌱🔥 WHAT YOU'LL DO 🎯 Reporting to the Influencer Marketing Manager, you’ll own and run RYZE’s affiliate program on AspireIQ end to end — recruiting affiliates, managing the platform, optimizing commission structures, and ensuring the program consistently drives revenue and surfaces high-performing creators for paid partnerships.

Ensure affiliate content and disclosures meet FTC guidelines and RYZE brand standards. Monitor for fraud, coupon abuse, and policy violations, and resolve escalations.
