Performance Marketing Manager, Affiliate & Paid Search

Company Overview
Frank & Eileen was born in 2009 when former engineer Audrey McLoghlin sought to reinvent the button-up for women — a category previously focused solely on men. Inspired by Audrey’s Irish grandparents - our brand namesakes, Frank & Eileen -we have grown slowly and intentionally from our best-Italian-fabric-in-the-world-obsessed beginnings. Now a globally recognized fashion brand, Frank & Eileen is a certified woman-owned, woman-led B Corp business that has retained 100% ownership while working with the same ethical, sustainable manufacturers for over a decade. Our mission is to model and support entrepreneurship as a force for good — all from our family-friendly HQ in sunny California.

The Role

Frank & Eileen is seeking a data-driven and performance-focused Performance Marketing Manager, Affiliate & Paid Search to lead two critical lower-funnel channels in partnership with external agencies. This role will manage our affiliate and paid search programs from a strategic level by setting goals, overseeing agency execution, analyzing performance, and driving both revenue and new customer acquisition. The ideal candidate brings strong analytical rigor, proven experience managing agency relationships, and a clear understanding of how to scale performance marketing in a retail/ecommerce environment. This role will report to the Head of Ecommerce and Digital.

• Provide strategic direction, performance targets, and optimization priorities to the affiliate agency, while overseeing day-to-day execution and partner management.
• Manage the full affiliate invoicing and budget tracking process (e.g., Rakuten), ensuring accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.
• Support identification and evaluation of new affiliate partners, in collaboration with the agency, to expand reach and improve ROAS.

• Oversee the paid search program (Google Ads, Bing) through agency partners, setting acquisition targets, budget allocations, and optimization KPIs.
• Review and guide agency strategies on bidding, keyword selection, and copywriting to ensure campaigns align with performance and brand standards.

• Hold agencies accountable to performance goals and reporting standards; troubleshoot gaps in execution or data.
