We work across multiple acquisition channels and focus heavily on commercial performance, partner growth and optimisation. The team combines data, technology and hands‑on campaign management to scale profitable opportunities and improve performance.

The role will initially be offered on a 12-month contract, with a view to becoming permanent.

This is a hands‑on commercial role suited to someone who already has experience in affiliate or performance marketing and is comfortable managing partners, analysing performance and identifying opportunities to grow revenue.

You’ll be responsible for building and developing affiliate relationships, negotiating commercials, monitoring performance and working closely with internal teams to optimise campaigns.

• Identify and onboard new partners
• Negotiate commercial terms and campaign opportunities
• Monitor campaign performance and identify opportunities to improve and scale
• Analyse data and provide clear performance insights
• Work with internal teams across marketing, data and operations
• Ensure campaigns, tracking and partner requirements are set up correctly
• Keep up to date with market trends, competitor activity and industry developments

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has hands‑on experience in affiliate or performance marketing
• Is confident managing partner relationships independently
• Is commercially minded and comfortable negotiating deals
• Can analyse campaign performance and make decisions based on data
• Is proactive, organised and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Communicates clearly and works well across different teams
• Is comfortable taking ownership and being accountable for performance
• Has enough experience to come in and take ownership of their accounts from the outset, without needing to be at senior or team‑lead level
