You will support the Affiliate Manager across all affiliate-related operations, manage day-to-day partner engagement across the portfolio, and help build the infrastructure and partnerships that drive long-term channel growth. Success looks like a well-managed, growing affiliate portfolio, consistent performance against KPI targets, strong partner relationships at every tier and clear, reliable reporting that stakeholders can act on.

What you will be doing:

• Ensure smooth operation across all affiliate activities, run campaigns, monitor key metrics and identify areas for improvement and optimisation.
• Monitor and analyse campaign results, producing weekly and monthly KPI reports with clear insight and recommendations for the client.
• Collaborate with the wider Marketing team to keep the affiliate calendar and strategy aligned with the broader brand and communications plan.
• Support the Affiliate Manager with affiliate-related queries and monthly validation processes.
• Monitor affiliate profitability and performance, flagging risks and opportunities proactively.
• Audit publisher accounts and domains to ensure promotional codes and offers are accurately represented and exposure opportunities maximised.
• Maintain regular, proactive contact with affiliate partners across the portfolio – keeping them informed, engaged and motivated to perform.
• Negotiate and optimise individual affiliate partnerships to ensure business objectives and ROI targets are consistently met.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with Tier2 and Tier3 publishers, treating them as valuable long-term partners.
• Help build and manage the UK affiliate portfolio – supporting creation, planning and execution of acquisition and retention campaigns.
• Optimise affiliate channel revenue to meet annual targets, identifying and acting on efficiency and growth opportunities.
• Work with Partnerize to create gap analyses that identify new partnership opportunities and support recruitment of new affiliates.
• Conduct market and competitor research to inform growth strategy and support future planning.
• Deliver clear, concise and reliable reporting on all affiliate activity to key stakeholders, on a scheduled and ad-hoc basis.
• Work alongside the Data Analyst and Marketing Intelligence team to optimise affiliate performance and investment decisions.
• Use performance data to inform campaign refinement and strategic recommendations.
• Track and report on affiliate channel spend and investment at a project level, supporting accurate budget management across the portfolio.
• Monitor commission models and ROI against targets, providing data-backed rationale for investment decisions.
• Support purchase order and invoice processing alongside the wider team, escalating discrepancies promptly.

What you need to be great in this role:

• Strong understanding of the affiliate marketing industry: commission models, tracking solutions, publisher types and platform mechanics.
• Experience working with affiliate platforms such as Partnerize or an equivalent.
• Background in consumer electronics or a comparable e-commerce environment is an advantage.
• Proficiency in MS Office – particularly Excel and PowerPoint – with the ability to produce clear, accurate and stakeholder-ready performance reports.
• Comfortable working with campaign data and translating performance metrics into actionable insight and recommendations.
• Experience collaborating with data and analytics teams to optimise channel investment.
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain productive relationships with affiliate partners across tiers – including negotiation, ongoing engagement and performance management.
• Track record of developing partnerships that deliver mutual commercial value, with confidence in crafting and closing win-win solutions.
• Experience managing multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced environment – prioritising effectively and resolving issues without losing momentum.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate clearly across internal teams and external partners.
• Proficiency with GenAI tools relevant to affiliate marketing – including tools that support campaign reporting, partner communication, insight synthesis and workflow management.
• Experience building personal AI-assisted workflows to improve efficiency and reduce manual reporting workload.
