The role

You are in charge of our partner portfolio: building strong relationships with our content partners, keeping every partnership running smoothly, and driving each one towards sustained growth.

This is a commercial, people-first role with a strong operational backbone. You spend your day talking to partners, watching the numbers, spotting what is off, and acting on it before it becomes a problem. You are the person partners want to work with, and the person who knows to act fast and take charge of the situation.

What you will do

● Own the relationships. Day-to-day contact for a portfolio of content partners: regular check-ins, fast replies, clear answers.

● Grow every partnership. Expand what works and open new placements, categories and geos. Set targets and follow through until the numbers move.

● Watch the numbers daily. Pull reports from our dashboards and know what normal looks like for each partner, so you spot drops and spikes early.

● Act quickly. When something looks wrong, chase it the same day: message the partner, check the setup, escalate internally.

● Keep partnerships in good shape. Everything set up correctly and live, and every partner working to our standards.

● Onboard new partners. From first conversation through to going live and first payouts.

● Keep the house in order. Monday boards, notes and follow-ups up to date, and feed back internally on what partners are asking for.

What we are looking for

● Excellent written and spoken English. Non-negotiable. Sharp, professional and error-free, on email and on calls.

● A commercial head. You think in margin and volume, and you are comfortable negotiating and asking for more.

● Genuinely good with people. Warm and responsive, and able to hold a difficult conversation without damaging the relationship.

● 2-4 years in affiliate, publisher or partner management in AdTech or performance marketing. Account management, partnerships, ad ops or media buying roles in this space also count.

● Comfortable with reports and numbers. Our reporting is already built, so you do not need to be technical. You need common sense with data and the discipline to look at it every day.

● Proactive by default. You chase things down without being asked and flag early rather than explain late.

● Fluent with everyday work tools. Monday, Slack, Teams, Gmail, Google Sheets or Excel, and AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) as part of how you work.

What we offer

● Fully remote. Work from wherever suits you, Monday to Friday, during our core hours.

● Real ownership. Your own partner portfolio, with a clear line between your work and the company's growth.

● A real product company. We design and build our own technology in-house, with a dedicated dev team behind every product.

● A small, fast-moving team. Hands-on work, very little bureaucracy, and the chance to learn the business end to end.
