Job description

Company

team.blue is an ecosystem of 60+ successful brands working together across 22 European countries to provide its 3.3 million SMB customers with everything they need to succeed online by offering best-in-class expertise and services.

team.blue's brands are a mix of traditional hosting businesses that offer services from domain names, email, shared hosting, e-commerce, and server hosting solutions and, as specialist SaaS providers, adjacent products such as compliance, marketing tools, and team collaboration products. This broad product offering makes it a one-stop partner for online businesses and entrepreneurs across Europe.

Position

As part of the Marketing Centre of Excellence (CoE), the Partnerships & Affiliate Specialist sits at the intersection of local brand (Webnode) ownership and central marketing expertise. You'll own Webnode's partner ecosystem as a distinct acquisition and revenue channel while collaborating closely with specialists across Paid Media, SEO, Lifecycle Marketing, CRO, and Analytics.

Responsibilities

Affiliate Programme Management

• Manage the affiliate programme end-to-end: recruitment, onboarding, activation, and performance optimisation.
• Maintain a tiering approach across high-value strategic, growth, and long-tail partners.
• Build hybrid commercial models combining CPA structures with fixed-fee visibility arrangements for premium partners.
• Own payment processing and partner ticket requests, ensuring accurate and timely payouts.

Fraud Prevention & Attribution Quality

• Maintain fraud detection controls, including incrementality analysis and partner quality monitoring.
• Audit partner-reported conversions against organic baselines to catch over-attribution from coupon and cashback sources.
• Flag problematic partners and fraud patterns promptly and apply learnings across the channel.
• Support the strategic migration of the affiliate programme into a new platform, managing partner communication and ensuring continuity in acquisition during the transition.

Partnerships & Business Development

• Recruit and manage agencies, freelancers, and resellers who build client sites on Webnode.
• Source, structure, and negotiate strategic, co-marketing, and distribution partnerships to align with business goals.
• Manage technology and integration partners across domains, payments, and e-commerce.
• Identify, pitch, and close new channel opportunities, and stand them up operationally.

Campaign Execution & Optimisation

• Plan and activate campaigns around seasonal moments, product launches, and brand priorities.
• Test and iterate on commission structures, creative, and activation approaches, documenting what works.
• Develop scalable processes and playbooks that can be replicated across other group brands to improve overall affiliate performance.
• Work with Paid Media and SEO to make sure partner activity drives incremental acquisition, not cannibalisation.

Performance Reporting

• Track incremental cost of acquisition, partner quality, campaign results, and partner-sourced revenue.
• Translate attribution data into clear reporting for the CoE and relevant teams.
• Support budget decisions with performance evidence and own a partner-sourced revenue target.

Profile

• Proven, hands-on experience running an affiliate programme, including tiering, commission structuring, and attribution quality. This is an essential, non-negotiable skill set.
• Proven experience working with professional affiliate platforms, with deep familiarity with at least one of the major networks (i.e., Awin, Impact, TradeTracker, TradeDoubler).
• Fluent in English (mandatory). Other EU languages are a plus.
• Analytical mindset. You can own a number, model partner economics, run incrementality analysis, and report cleanly.
• A self-starter who builds from a blank page rather than inheriting a playbook.
• Experience in tech, SaaS, or e-commerce is a plus.
