Job description

Lyst is a global fashion shopping platform founded in London in 2010 and catering to over 160M shoppers per year. We offer our customers the largest assortment of premium & luxury fashion products in one place, curating pieces from 27,000 of the world's leading brands and stores. In 2025, Lyst joined Zozo, operators of Zozotown, the leading fashion e-commerce platform in Japan. This partnership marks a bold new era for Lyst, as we accelerate our vision and work together to transform the future of fashion shopping through AI and technology.

At Lyst, we obsess over the customer, providing a search & discovery experience which offers inspiration, fulfilment, and personalisation. We believe that fashion is amazing but shopping for fashion often isn't, and use our technology, data and creativity to bring more joy, greater choice and fewer fails. Our mission is to help fashion shoppers make better decisions and help fashion partners find better audiences as the category-leading destination for every fashion shopper.

About the Role

We are looking for a Partner Growth Specialist to join the Partner Growth Squad, whose mission is to create solutions for our retail partners to better support their business needs and drive more sales.

This position is responsible for managing strategic, top-producing partner relationships to drive revenue growth, identify and implement key optimisations, and ensure overall partner performance. You will be the go-to person for your partners and help to assist in troubleshooting any issues, provide sales and data insights into performance, and be the internal advocate for their requests.

You will also be responsible for managing your own media sales pipeline and work closely with other internal stakeholders in our London office, across Partner Marketing, Brand and Design.

• Minimum of 3-4 years of partnerships or media sales experience in a fast-growing company, ideally at an affiliate marketing network, agency or managing affiliate marketing for a retailer
• Experience managing complex strategic and time sensitive projects, while ensuring cohesion between any internal and external stakeholders
• Proven track record in building client/business relations - ideally at a luxury brand, fashion publisher or creative agency - as you will be managing a set of high value, complex partnerships
• Media sales, email and brand partnerships experience, preferably with fashion or luxury background
• Exceptional negotiation, sales and communication skills - including presentation experience - as you and your team will be selling new products to our top partners and must be comfortable negotiating with senior level partners
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize to perform well in a highly dynamic, rapidly changing environment and lead others in doing so
• Commercial strategic thinking and strong analytical skills to help you develop and execute internal projects as well as develop regular reporting on sales trends and performance insights
• A target motivated professional as you must be able to deliver against short term immediate and long term strategic goals whilst motivating your team to do so, too.
• Self-starters who thrive while working on their own as well as contributing to team goals - you’ll be working with a range of other teams at Lyst so cross-collaboration and teamwork is key
• Solid understanding of affiliate marketing, attribution models, and other performance marketing metrics
• Italian speaking is preferred but not required
• Availability to travel for face-to-face partner visits (seasonal) across Europe

• Our Ways of Working: We all come into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the option to work remotely or come into the office on the other days. We believe that in person collaboration and community spirit is super important, which is why we spend some of our time in the office and some of our time at home.
• Time Off: In addition to the 8 statutory bank holidays, you will receive 29 holidays per year. Lyst’s holiday year runs from 1 April to 31 March.
• Competitive Family Leave Package: This includes Enhanced Family Leave for those eligible, paid Time off for Dependents and Support for Fertility Treatment & Loss.

• Pension Scheme: Our pension provider is The People’s Pension. We offer a minimum employee contribution of 5% and 3% employer contribution.
• Eye Tests and Vouchers: Employees can make a saving on their eye test and glasses through our chosen provider. You’ll receive a free eye test every year and a discount towards glasses.
• Cycle-to-Work Scheme: Lyst will purchase a bicycle from your chosen retailer, you will then receive a voucher to pick up your bicycle from them.
• Transport Season Ticket Loan: Employees can apply for an interest free season ticket loan to support your travel to work.
