About The Global Talent Co.

We connect exceptional global talent with innovative technology and lifestyle companies worldwide. Our mission: everyone deserves equal access to opportunity, regardless of where they were born. Join our community of 25,000+ professionals building meaningful careers with leading international companies.

About the Company You'll Be Working With

You'll be joining a fast-growing European cashback and savings platform that helps consumers save money when they shop online, through its website, newsletter and browser extension. The company works with hundreds of shops, brands and fintechs, mostly across the DACH region, through affiliate networks like Awin as well as direct partnerships. It reaches around 110,000 account holders every week through its newsletter.

The Opportunity

This is a commercial partnerships role at its core. You'll own relationships with the company's affiliate partners and networks, sell paid placements on the website and newsletter, and bring in new partners that pay well for high-quality traffic. It's a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll price and negotiate deals yourself and escalate only the big decisions.

What You'll Be Doing

• Running the partnership inbox and answering partners and networks quickly, including offer requests, commission and tracking questions, and traffic or fraud queries
• Building and maintaining a media kit, then selling and booking website placements and weekly newsletter slots
• Negotiating better terms with existing partners, such as higher CPA or CPS rates, exclusive codes and bonus commissions, especially ahead of Black Friday and Q4
• Bringing in new shops, brands and fintechs through affiliate networks and direct deals, with a focus on high-basket and high-commission verticals
• Tracking partner performance, including clicks, conversion, EPC, basket size, commission and rejection rates, and flagging underperformers
• Reporting weekly on placement revenue, pipeline, top and bottom partners, and open issues

What We're Looking For

• Fluent German is a must, as most partners and networks are in the DACH region
• Good English
• Experience in affiliate marketing, partnerships or performance marketing, from the publisher, network or advertiser side
• Familiarity with commission models (CPA, CPS, CPC, CPL) and performance metrics like EPC and rejection rates, or the ability to pick them up quickly
• Commercial instinct and confidence pricing and negotiating deals independently
• Comfort using AI tools to handle inbox volume and speed up work like media kits and reporting
• Self-driven and organised, able to work independently in a remote setup
• Awareness of the reputational sensitivity around cashback and coupon extensions is a strong plus

Backgrounds That Tend to Fit Well

• Affiliate Manager or Partnership Manager at a cashback, coupon, deal or comparison site
• Account Manager or Publisher Manager at an affiliate network such as Awin, Adcell, CJ or financeAds
• Affiliate or Performance Marketing Manager at an e-commerce brand or fintech
• Partner Channel Manager or Business Development Manager in a partner-driven business
• Influencer or creator partnerships manager working on performance-based deals

What's On Offer

• Attractive compensation
• Fully remote work
• Real ownership of a revenue-generating role, with direct visibility on results
• Exposure to a growing consumer tech business at the intersection of e-commerce and fintech
• Access to The Global Talent Co.'s wider professional community of 25,000+ global professionals

At The Global Talent Co., we believe great talent exists everywhere. We're proud to connect professionals across the globe with companies that value what they bring.
