Affiliate Manager

We're ASOS, the online retailer for fashion lovers all around the world. 

We exist to give our customers the confidence to be whoever they want to be, and that goes for our people too. At ASOS, you're free to be your true self without judgement, and channel your creativity into a platform used by millions. 

Everyone needs some help showing up as their best self. We're Disability Confident Committed - let our Talent team know if you need any reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.

The Affiliates & Partnerships Manager plays a key role in driving traffic, sales and new customer growth through ASOS’ affiliate programme across key European markets. Reporting into the Affiliates Lead, you’ll use data and commercial insight to shape market and partner strategy, identify growth opportunities and ensure performance is delivered against budget and channel KPIs.

You’ll own the day-to-day management of the programme across your markets, building strong partner relationships and overseeing campaigns, promotional activity, commercial terms and compliance. You’ll also work closely with teams across Marketing, Trade, Retail, Finance and Legal to deliver key brand moments, launches and peak trading activity.

The Details

• Own affiliate performance across key European markets, delivering against commercial targets, budgets and channel KPIs.

• Identify and develop new affiliate opportunities, assessing inbound partner and network proposals.
• Benchmark commission and CPA rates and negotiate commercial terms, partner rates and campaign investment.

We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.
