Interim Affiliate Partner Marketing Lead Job London area,Greater London England UK,Marketing / Advertising / PR

Role Who you are

5+ years of experience running community, affiliate, referral, or field marketing programmes with performance/commission-based objectives
Proven experience building and scaling new programmes from the ground up - comfortable operating with ambiguity and a limited playbook, since this is a net-new capability for the business rather than an established channel
Strong problem-solving skills - important for navigating the operational challenges that come with scaling an ambassador programme
Analytical fluency - comfortable owning NCA, active rate, and CAC metrics and explaining performance drivers

What the job involves

Remitly's Ambassador Programme is one of the most exciting growth initiatives underway in our global business
As the breadth of execution ramps up, spanning platform procurement, cross-functional integration, and parallel testing across global markets, we need dedicated regional leads to drive the programme's growth within local and nuanced markets, without diluting programme quality
You'll own the growth, health, and commercial performance of the ambassador community across Europe, acting as the operational owner of the programme in-market - responsible for recruiting and retaining a high-quality ambassador base, driving new customer acquisition through them, and ensuring those customers convert into active, long-term Remitly senders
This is a 12-Month Fixed Term Contract role based in our London office
You will report to one of our Directors of Marketing
Recruit, onboard, and train new brand ambassadors, ensuring they understand brand messaging, product knowledge, and communication guidelines
Manage ongoing relationships with ambassadors, supporting them with training, tools, and local market knowledge to optimise performance and drive high-quality NCAs, and keep them active and motivated through relationship-building, retention content, and removing operational blockers
This is a hands-on role requiring ongoing attendance at community events, ambassador meet-ups, and activations to build relationships in person and provide on-the-ground support when needed
Identify new ways of growing ambassador networks, developing and executing expansion strategy. Recruit ambassadors directly while partnering with marketing on recruitment strategies to drive candidates to the platform
Launch the programme in new markets, taking a hands-on approach where needed, and manage in-country logistics (swag fulfilment, event support, local vendor relationships)
Act as the local voice of the programme, feeding back to improve strategy and execution, and partner closely with global programme leads to report on and tell the story of programme performance
Partner with Legal/Compliance on contracts and payment requirements as the programme scales into new markets; align with in-market Business/Country Managers so the programme supports local growth priorities and stays within budget/CAC guardrails; coordinate with the regional Marketing team (brand, performance, community, agencies) to plug the ambassador programme into the broader local marketing plan; and partner with the global Programme Manager to adapt the global playbook to local needs, flagging market-specific risks or opportunities back into the global strategy
Be measured on: number of onboarded ambassadors, ambassador active rate, NCAs generated, customer active rate, and successful launches in new markets
