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.

We've got Gabe amd me doing affiliate service, Cory's PR and marketing, and then we have another full time person with a part time (may be full time now though) person doing nothing but fraud. And we also have a product manager who keeps up with all requests for graphics, technical requests, problems, etc.
Finding one person do to everything, unless it's a small operation, would be brutal for everyone involved. IMO.
So...you really need to decide exactly what you're looking to hire and go from there. This is a small enough market where it will dictate what you pay someone. Offer a job at the low end of $XX salary/Commission/whatever and go from there.
