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 UKs most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we’re together.

Here’s What You Can Expect To Be Doing

• Building relationships – Work closely with our affiliate partners and networks, making sure they’ve got everything they need to perform at their best.
• Growing the channel – Source and onboard new affiliates to help us 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, spotting trends and sharing ideas to improve ROI.
• Creating content – Pull together newsletters and promotional materials for affiliates, working with our Trade and Marketing teams to keep everything on‑brand.
• Staying compliant – Monitor affiliate activity to make sure 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.

A Few Things About You

• You’ve got experience in affiliate marketing (AWIN knowledge is a bonus, but not essential).
• Building strong relationships comes naturally to you, and you’re a great communicator.
• Pressure doesn’t faze you—you’re organised and thrive in a fast‑paced environment.
• Commercial thinking is second nature, and you’re confident negotiating deals.
• You enjoy digging into data, spotting trends and finding ways to improve performance.

A Bit About Us

When it comes to appliances and electricals, we’ve got the lot. Washing machines? Yep. TVs? Check. Laptops? Absolutely. Everything except doorbells (just kidding, we’ve got those too).

We’re known for helping our customers brilliantly – and it’s no different for AOers. We care about more than what’s on your CV, because together we can do extraordinary things.

Our benefits are designed to cover the moments that matter to AOers. From health and wellness to giving back – you’ll be rewarded inside and outside of work.

• Holidays – 25 days, plus bank holidays (increasing to 27 days after 2 years with us)
• Pension – Contribute 5% of your annual salary and we’ll match it.
• Be a VIP at the AO Arena – we have loads of opportunities to win free tickets and pre‑sale access!
• Health & wellbeing – discounted gym membership, an onsite spa and our Help @ Hand scheme giving you access to virtual GPs, mental health support and much more.
• 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 – start your day with free onsite parking, a complimentary breakfast and coffee at our subsidised Starbucks!
