Partnership Manager - DACH

Location: UK-based preferred (remote), with Germany-based candidates also considered
Salary: £40 - 50K base + commission (based on billed revenue)

About our client

Recruiting on behalf of a growing e-commerce technology business that helps online retailers convert more of their website visitors into customers. They use data-led onsite and off-site campaigns, backed by detailed site analysis and incrementality testing that proves the extra sales generated. They work alongside the affiliate and partner networks their retailers already use, rather than replacing them.

The role

Our client is looking for a Partnerships Manager to lead their growth with online retailers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This is a full-cycle commercial role that needs strong commercial awareness, negotiation experience and the ability to identify and qualify opportunities.

You will:

• Present to German-speaking brands and run the whole sales process end to end: prospecting, first meetings, demos, negotiation, onboarding and launch
• Stay close to clients once they are live, working with the Client Success team to nurture and grow each partnership
• Work closely with the Demand, Client Success and Delivery teams
• Travel regularly to client meetings and industry events across DACH
• Over time, become the business's go-to authority on Conversion Rate Optimisation in the German-speaking market, sharing insight with prospects and the wider market, potentially at conferences and events

What they're looking for

• Fluent or native German, including polished written business German for proposals and commercial agreements, plus strong professional English
• At least 2 years in sales or business development, ideally selling into the DACH market
• Good knowledge of DACH e-commerce and its key online retailers
• A track record of managing a pipeline and selling to decision makers
• Experience in, and a passion for, digital and affiliate marketing
• A sales-driven, results-oriented approach with creative problem-solving skills
• Excellent presentation skills in German and English
• Comfort using site data and test results to build a commercial case
• Good CRM discipline
• A collaborative, team-player mindset
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, and the ability to work independently, particularly if based away from the UK team

Nice to have

• Experience in affiliate marketing sales
• Experience selling to or for advertising networks, agencies or marketing technology companies

Why this role

This is a chance to be a driving force in a business that is changing how online retailers engage with their customers, and to build your name in the DACH e-commerce market while doing it.
