About the Company You'll Be Working With
You'll be joining a fast-growing European cashback and savings platform that helps consumers save money when they shop online, through its website, newsletter and browser extension.

You'll own relationships with the company's affiliate partners and networks, sell paid placements on the website and newsletter, and bring in new partners that pay well for high-quality traffic.
