I think the job description is also important. In some places with an existing and large affiliate list (yes, I know, you said new program, but I digress), the Affiliate Manager is just that, chief babysitter, in charge of the other affiliate representatives and also in charge of in house education, articles, and forums.
However the Marketing Director would be a different person, in charge of campaigns, promo materials, getting whale accounts. On a brand new program (see, my tangent has come full circle), the two positions could (now maybe they should or maybe they shouldn't) be easily filled by a single person. But if that is done, the plan should be that it be brief (one person) because of (hopefully) quick program growth.

I agree and frankly ya know I don't think I'll need one.
If you can get 100 good affiliates (pros ,not dickheads)
Lets say they only average 2 a day.
So you are getting 200 joins a day.
add in the 40 joins a day that won't be tracked , factor in some upsells.....run it easily managable by one hard working dude and maybe 2 partners.
Once established open anhother one...then an other one... lol
ya know...honestly ..affiliate programs...well fair enough..
I am concentrating on garnering traffic rather than buying traffic.
My processing may dump one day.VISA might have a shit fit. All 3rd party processors outlawed by VISA...whatever...
but someone , somewhere will always be willing to pay for traffic.
