Affiliate Manager

Were on a mission to become the go-to destination for students across Europe to find a trusted home away from home. We make every step of the rental journey simple and seamless so students can focus on what really matters: studying exploring and growing.

With HousingAnywhere Kamernet and Studapart under our roof were Europes largest student rental platform.

Youll find us in Rotterdam Paris and Cergy always guided by our four core values: Ownership We are enablers We are changemakers and We are connectors.

Join us in empowering students to unlock their potential through a safe online rental experience.

As our new Affiliate Manager you will take end-to-end ownership of our affiliate and partnerships channel across all three of our brands. This is a core individual contributor role designed for a mid-level expert who is as comfortable negotiating a commercial deal as they are debugging a tracking link.

You arent just administering an affiliate network dashboard or waiting for partners to come to us. You will own the portfolio end to end: finding partners negotiating the terms managing the data integrations proving what got delivered optimizing their performance and having the direct conversations when it doesnt. If you want a channel you can genuinely build and grow rather than maintain this role is for you.

Key responsibilities

• Own the affiliate and partnerships channel: Grow the affiliate programme across HousingAnywhere Kamernet and Studapart - partner identification outreach negotiation onboarding and ongoing commercial management across both network and direct deals.
• Run partner performance conversations directly: Track partner-level traffic bookings and revenue and lead the conversation when the numbers move.
• Own the tracking that makes the channel measurable: Manage tracking links partner IDs and UTM hygiene and work with our data engineering team on attribution across different platforms.
• Negotiate and manage commercial terms: Structure fixed-fee CPA and hybrid deals; own the commission and invoicing cycle with the Finance department; keep the unit economics of every partner visible and work towards maximizing ROAS on your managed portfolio of partners.
• Build the operating layer: Standardise partner reporting and evaluate the tooling this channel needs to scale past spreadsheets. You will have a real say in what we buy and what we build.
• Optimize partner performance: Improve what each partner delivers. Test placements landing pages and links run the promotional calendar and use commission structure to drive incremental revenue.
• Grow creator and influencer partnerships: Take our newest partnership motions from pilot to a repeatable programme - terms tracking and performance measurement included.

Your profile

• Data-driven & analytical: You are incredibly comfortable with data Google Sheets and analytics tools (e.g. MixPanel). You can tell the difference between a partner who stopped delivering and tracking that stopped working.
