Job description

You’ll be right at the heart of our affiliate activity - owning the day to day and driving growth. As an Affiliate Growth Executive you’ll be building strong partnerships, making sure our affiliates have everything they need to succeed, and spotting opportunities to push performance even further.

From launching campaigns and seasonal promotions to creating engaging content, you’ll make sure everything lands on time and looks great. You’ll dive into the numbers, tracking revenue, CPA, and CTR - and use those insights to shape smarter strategies that deliver real results.

And because AO is all about collaboration, you’ll work closely with our Trade, Marketing, and Commercial teams, bringing fresh ideas to the table and helping us stay ahead of the competition.

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 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 like 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.

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!)
