  Work with affiliate tracking platforms (e.g., Affilka, Income Access, Everflow or similar) to manage campaigns and reporting.


• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or non-compliant traffic.


• Prepare regular forecasts and performance reports for leadership and key stakeholders.


• Ensure affiliate activities comply with US state and Canadian provincial regulations and internal policies.
