Affiliate Manager - Freelance

Hello, we’re Honest. 👋

The clue’s in the name: we’re the network doing mobile right.

We’re on a mission to set a bold new standard for mobile (and drag a broken industry into the future while we're at it).

It started with Classic SIM, our essential everyday SIM that includes bills that drop, support in seconds, and a shrinking carbon footprint.

Thousands of happy customers joined us. But we knew people still faced two big problems: rubbish signal and expensive roaming.

So we built Smart SIM, our game-changing back-up eSIM giving you unbeatable signal and free global roaming. Whenever you lose signal or go abroad, you can switch to Smart SIM in just a few taps for 500+ essential apps on EE, O2, Three and Vodafone, plus hundreds of networks worldwide.

Now we're proud to have more than 100,000 customers on our journey.

We’re also the UK’s first B Corp mobile network, a carbon-negative company and member of 1% for the Planet 🌎

But building the world’s best mobile network requires having the right people to help us do it. That’s where you could come in.

Like the sound of Honest? Read on. This could be the start of something exciting 🚀

We're looking for a Affiliate Manager to join us on a freelance and part-time basis.

Freelance contract: 2 days/week

Location: Remote and async-first — we work over Slack

Rate: £250 - £300 per day

Start: ASAP

👀 The role

This is a hands-on build role, not a maintenance one. You'll grow the program, bring publishers in, and turn it into a reliable, measurable acquisition channel - working with our Head of Growth but largely running your own show.

🚀 What you’ll do

• Shape and own the affiliate program from end-to-end

• Recruit and onboard new publishers

• Optimise the performance of our existing publishers

• Own relationships with key affiliates and keep them active and engaged

• Manage a promotional calendar, including exclusive offers and how they're allocated across partners

• Report weekly on publisher performance and progress against sales and CAC targets

🙋 About you

• Hands-on experience running affiliate programs in AWIN

• A track record of building or growing an affiliate channel, ideally one you took from early stage to performing

• Very organised, self-starter - you'll be juggling multiple publishers, a live promo calendar, and weekly reporting

• A strong async communicator who's comfortable running things over Slack and keeping people in the loop without needing meetings

• Comfortable with performance metrics - you understand CAC, margin, discounting and can read what's working, and act on it

• Self-directed: this is a part-time freelance role, so you manage your own time and output

• Nice to have: experience running affiliate programs in telecoms

🧑‍💻 Interview process

• Apply with in your CV and a cover letter detailing why you’re a great fit for Honest

• Interviews with our Head of Growth (Jack)

🛟 Support during the process

If you have a disability, health condition, or any access needs and would like us to make adjustments to our process, please let us know. We’re happy to work with you to make sure you have what you need to take part fully and comfortably. Email Fi, our Head of People & Impact. She’s here to help.
