You will lead the service delivery to the client, managing their affiliate marketing campaigns, budget and most importantly, the client relationship. Your main responsibilities will be around delivery of pre-agreed affiliate objectives working alongside the Client Services Manager and the Client Services team to meet and exceed their expectations and deliver ROI.

- Attend industry networking events to meet with partners.
- Act as a first line of escalation for the Account Executives.
Essential Key Skills:
- Be fluent in English.
- Strong IT and Microsoft Office skills.
- Excellent written/verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- Persuasive, confident and numerate – We produce detailed performance reports for clients, and you’ll need to be able to interpret and explain these with confidence once trained and given support.
- Once established you’ll also need to be able to confidently make recommendations to further improve and grow clients programs with us.
- An understanding of digital marketing performance metrics.
- Great customer service skills and ability to contribute within a team environment.
