About the role
AFFILIATE MANAGER
Reporting To: Affiliate Director
Office Location: London
About Havas Market
We are Havas Market, part of the Havas Media Network. We believe in in the fusion of commerce and performance to drive limitless performance. We break down barriers between commerce and performance to build cohesive multichannel purchase experiences that powerfully combine tech and human flair.
Havas Market expertise spans four core specialist services: paid media (Affiliates, PPC, paid social, shopping international), owned (SEO, CRO, content, creative, localisation), commerce (Amazon, Marketplaces, Retail Media, social commerce) and earned (digital PR, social).
We Help Clients To
All agency brands under HMN are serviced by a centralised digital activation function - a scaled team of 200+ specialists spanning affiliates, paid performance, SEO, paid social, programmatic and commerce in the UK. This new Affiliate Manager role sits within the paid performance team, but this will see you working across Havas Market clients.
The Role
As an Affiliate Manager, you will be a performance specialist with affiliate experience and client facing skills. You will work on a portfolio of clients, including globally recognise brands across the travel sector. It is essential that you can deliver effectively on scaled, international business.
There will be a heavy client facing element to this role, as you’ll be required to lead weekly calls/meetings and lead on or parts of larger monthly and quarterly meetings, with the support of your wider team and line manager. As such, you should feel comfortable with clients, have strong communication skills, as well as a proactive attitude and a real hunger for success.
You will be responsible for campaign implementation, analysis, optimisation, delivery and evaluation across affiliate partners and programs, as part of a paid performance function. You will lead on publisher and stakeholder management, so a strong, existing knowledge and personal presence in the affiliate space is essential. Working alongside the Havas Market client teams, and Affiliate Director where relevant, you will heavily influence strategy and lead on the implementation of innovative, new solutions for your client.
Management of 1-2 Affiliates Executives in the pursuit of performance excellence also forms a principal element of this role.
