WHERE YOU CONTRIBUTE

As Integrated Channel Manager – Affiliates & Partnerships, you are responsible for designing and delivering a partnership‑led acquisition strategy that balances brand integrity with commercial performance.

You manage performance, governance and optimisation across a diverse partner landscape, ensuring partnerships deliver incremental value rather than duplicating or eroding other channels.

You ensure campaigns are planned, activated and optimised in alignment with audience strategy, commercial priorities and trading plans.

You bring structure, clarity and discipline to a channel that often spans marketing, commercial and brand considerations, using clear frameworks, performance insight and strong stakeholder alignment to scale what works and challenge what does not.
