Purpose of your role
We are seeking a commercially minded, performance-driven partnerships manager to own, stabilise and scale the channel, setting its strategy and running it day to day. Your immediate priorities are to stabilise and deepen relationships with our existing partners and to acquire high-quality new partners across comparison platforms, review sites and digital publishers. You will evaluate and optimise current affiliate relationships, renegotiate commercial structures where necessary, and ensure all partner activity aligns with OFX’s unit economics, profitability expectations and new/existing business targets.
A core focus of this role is shifting the channel toward Cost-Per-Acquisition (CPA) models that align partner incentives with OFX’s growth objectives, rather than relying on upfront, CPL and impression-based costs, wherever commercially viable. This is a high-accountability role that combines strategic leadership with hands-on execution: you will set the direction for the channel and personally run the Impact platform, Salesforce partner records and commercial negotiations. It requires strong commercial judgment, analytical rigour and disciplined execution. The right person will also be alive to the structural shifts affecting the affiliate channel, particularly the rise of AI-powered comparison and discovery tools and will proactively develop strategies to protect and grow OFX’s presence in this evolving landscape.
What you do
Strategic Growth & Optimisation
Stabilise the existing affiliate book: review partner health, tracking accuracy, commission transparency and contract status, and act as the primary relationship owner for key partners
Deeply understand OFX’s current affiliate book of business, partner performance and revenue contribution
Run regular performance reviews with existing partners to strengthen relationships, resolve issues quickly and grow their contribution
Identify opportunities to optimise partner mix, placement strategy, conversion quality and unit economics
Evaluate and renegotiate commercial agreements to align with CPA-preferred profitability structures
Develop and champion CPA migration strategies for existing CPL, CPC and upfront-fee partners, building the commercial case for why performance-aligned models benefit both parties
Monitor how AI-powered comparison tools (e.g. AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) are affecting referral traffic from traditional affiliate partners and develop a proactive response strategy
Partnership Acquisition & Expansion
Own the new partner pipeline end to end, from prospecting and negotiation to onboarding through Impact and go-live
Recruit new high-quality affiliate partners including comparison sites, review sites and performance-driven digital media partners
Build compelling value propositions tailored to affiliate and publisher segments
Expand global reach through targeted regional partnerships (NA, EMEA, APAC)
Commercial Structuring & Pricing Innovation
Lead commercial negotiations with existing and new partners: structure, negotiate and manage commercial models including CPA, rev share, CPL, CPC and hybrid frameworks, with a clear strategic preference for CPA
Ensure all affiliate activity aligns with OFX CAC, LTV, contribution margin and broader unit economics
Design and pilot innovative incentive structures to attract and retain high-quality affiliates, including tiered commissions, performance accelerators, exclusivity bonuses and bespoke hybrid deals
Conduct competitive analysis of affiliate commercial models in the FX space to ensure OFX’s offer is compelling and market-relevant
Asset Management & Partner Enablement
Own the end-to-end process for delivering marketing assets to affiliate partners, including banners, landing page links, tracking URLs, co-branded content and product messaging
Define and manage a centralised asset repository (e.g. partner portal or DAM system) ensuring partners always have access to current, brand-compliant creative
Establish and maintain a regular asset refresh cadence aligned to OFX campaigns, rate changes and seasonal activity, in partnership with the Marketing team
Lead partner onboarding through OFX’s streamlined Impact-led process, including technical integration, brand and compliance briefing, and product education, to ensure new affiliates launch effectively and perform quickly
Partner with Legal, Finance, Compliance and CDD to ensure all partners are reviewed and approved in line with OFX’s regulatory requirements before activation, and continuously simplify the onboarding process
Define clear ownership of marketing asset governance: who approves, who refreshes, and how brand and compliance standards are enforced across all partner-facing materials
Tracking, Attribution & Governance
Act as hands-on owner of OFX’s Impact account, managing partner approvals, contracts and terms, tracking, reporting and payouts, and ensuring accurate, transparent commissions for partners
Maintain partner records, pipeline and contract status in Salesforce as OFX’s system of record
Design and implement tracking architecture that goes beyond basic Partner IDs, including sub-ID and creative-level tracking, click-path analysis and placement-specific performance signals to justify and optimise spend
Own OFX’s affiliate attribution model and governance framework: define the rules for credit allocation across multi-touch journeys, manage disputes and ensure consistent application across regions and partners
Partner with Data and Finance to deliver dashboards, reporting and insights on revenue, performance, conversion cohorts and profitability
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Marketing Interface
Define the operating model between this role and the Marketing team: clarify which marketing activities this role leads (e.g. partner briefs, landing page inputs, offer structures) versus which are led by Marketing (e.g. creative production, campaign execution)
Partner with Marketing on campaign design, testing frameworks and performance optimisation for affiliate placements
Collaborate with Finance on business case development, commercial modelling and unit economics reporting
Work with Legal, Compliance and Technology on partner agreements, due diligence and onboarding system improvements
