Affiliate Manager

As our new Affiliate Manager, you will take end-to-end ownership of our affiliate and partnerships channel across all three of our brands. This is a core individual contributor role designed for a mid-level expert who is as comfortable negotiating a commercial deal as they are debugging a tracking link. You aren't just administering an affiliate network dashboard or waiting for partners to come to us. You will own the portfolio end to end: finding partners, negotiating the terms, managing the data integrations, proving what got delivered, optimizing their performance and having the direct conversations when it doesn't. If you want a channel you can genuinely build and grow rather than maintain, this role is for you.

Own the affiliate and partnerships channel: Grow the affiliate programme across HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, and Studapart - partner identification, outreach, negotiation, onboarding, and ongoing commercial management, across both network and direct deals. Run partner performance conversations directly: Track partner-level traffic, bookings, and revenue, and lead the conversation when the numbers move. Own the tracking that makes the channel measurable: Manage tracking links, partner IDs, and UTM hygiene, and work with our data engineering team on attribution across different platforms. Negotiate and manage commercial terms: Structure fixed-fee, CPA, and hybrid deals; own the commission and invoicing cycle with the Finance department; keep the unit economics of every partner visible and work towards maximizing ROAS on your managed portfolio of partners. Build the operating layer: Standardise partner reporting and evaluate the tooling this channel needs to scale past spreadsheets. You will have a real say in what we buy and what we build. Optimize partner performance: Improve what each partner delivers. Test placements, landing pages and links, run the promotional calendar, and use commission structure to drive incremental revenue. Grow creator and influencer partnerships: Take our newest partnership motions from pilot to a repeatable programme - terms, tracking, and performance measurement included. Your team Reporting to the Head of Performance, you will join a lean, agile performance marketing team. You will work side-by-side with PPC, SEO, Paid Social and Media Buying Specialists. You will have a direct voice in shaping our global growth playbooks.

3–5 years of dedicated experience in affiliate or partnership marketing, ideally within a high-growth marketplace, B2C platform, or scale-up environment. Commercially confident: You have negotiated real deals and then held partners to them. You are comfortable telling a partner their performance has dropped and agreeing what changes. Data-driven & analytical: You are incredibly comfortable with data, Google Sheets, and analytics tools (e.g., MixPanel). You can tell the difference between a partner who stopped delivering and tracking that stopped working. Technically literate on tracking: You have worked hands-on with affiliate platforms (e.g., Impact, Awin, Tradedoubler, CJ) and understand tracking links, postbacks, and attribution well enough to diagnose a problem yourself rather than escalate it. A proven executioner: You have grown a partner portfolio from a standing start, and you prefer high autonomy and true ownership over corporate bureaucracy. Fluent in English: As our company language, strong written and verbal communication skills are essential. Additional European languages are a strong advantage as our partners sit all over Europe and globally.
