Company description

Profect Marketing is an affiliate marketing agency specialising in managing programs for SME clients. Our clients are primarily in the fashion, lifestyle and beauty sectors and UK based with some US presence.

We are a true partner to our clients, often acting as an extension of their in-house team. We deliver results too; our clients saw an average of 82% year on year growth in 2024. Last year we were shortlisted for Best Programme Launch at the GPMAs and Best Agency at the Rakuten Golden Link Awards.

You will be joining the agency during an exciting period of growth and have the opportunity to shape processes which will underpin that growth. While this role is offered as a 12 month maternity cover contract given the agency's current growth rate it is likely there will be the opportunity for the successful candidate to transition to a permanent role.
