Affiliate Manager

This is a commercial role with real strategic weight. You will be responsible for building and managing a portfolio of affiliate and acquisition partners — identifying the right ones, negotiating the right deals and holding the programme accountable to performance. You will work closely with product, analytics, creative and compliance teams across a business that is scaling quickly.

The affiliate channel is an important growth lever and we need someone who can run it properly: commercially astute, organised and operationally tight. This is not a relationship management role in name only — you own the numbers.

We are a company that values progressive thinking. If you can see a smarter way to track, optimise or scale the affiliate programme — using new tools, automation or AI-assisted analysis — we want to hear it.
