  • Full-Time | Remote (GMT+0 to GMT+4)

  • This is a commercial, people-facing role. You'll look after the company's partner relationships, sell advertising placements on its website and newsletter, and help bring in new brands and shops.

Affiliate experience is a plus, but we're equally open to strong communicators from sales, account management or partnerships who want to grow in this space.
