Job description

We're looking for an Affiliate Executive to join our AO Mobile team. If you're someone who loves building relationships, spotting opportunities, and making things happen, this could be the perfect role for you! You'll keep our affiliate channel running smoothly—working with partners, launching campaigns, and finding new ways to grow. It's a hands‑on role where you'll learn loads and make a real impact. Our people are our superpower, and we're unstoppable when we're together. We want your ideas to flow, and what better way to make that happen than being based onsite, 5 days a week, where our culture fuels creativity, collaboration and growth. If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UK’s most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we’re together!

What You Can Expect To Be Doing

• Building relationships—work closely with our affiliate partners and networks, ensuring they have everything they need to perform at their best.
• Growing the channel—source and onboard new affiliates to reach more customers and boost performance.
• Running campaigns—coordinate affiliate marketing campaigns, ensuring promotions and seasonal offers land on time and look great.
• Keeping an eye on performance—track key metrics such as revenue, CPA, and CTR, spot trends and share ideas to improve ROI.
• Creating content—pull together newsletters and promotional materials for affiliates, working with the Trade and Marketing teams to keep everything on‑brand.
• Staying compliant—monitor affiliate activity to ensure it meets our program terms and brand standards and flag anything that doesn’t.
• Keeping up with the market—stay on top of affiliate marketing trends and competitor activity, bringing fresh ideas to the table.

Qualifications

• Experience in affiliate marketing (AWIN knowledge is a bonus, but not essential).
• Strong relationship‑building skills and excellent communication.
• Organised, thrives in a fast‑paced environment, and remains composed under pressure.
• Commercial thinking and confident in negotiating deals.
• Data‑driven mindset—dig into data, spot trends, and find ways to improve performance.

Benefits

• Holidays: 25 days, plus bank holidays (increasing to 27 days after 2 years).
• Pension: Contribute 5% of your annual salary and we’ll match it.
• Be a VIP at the AO Arena—opportunities to win free tickets and pre‑sale access.
• Health & wellbeing—discounted gym membership, onsite spa, and our Help@Hand scheme offering virtual GP and mental health support.
• Discounts—exclusive discounts across our product range.
• Family leave—enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave.
• Making a difference—2 fully paid days a year to donate your time to any charity of your choice.
• On‑site perks—free parking, complimentary breakfast and coffee at our subsidised Starbucks.

AO is for everyone! We should all feel that we belong. That’s why we are creating a welcoming and inclusive place to work. We believe the people we employ should reflect the diversity of our customer base; that way, we can communicate in a way that recognises all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, abilities and sexual orientations.
