Next Step Recruitment is hiring: Associate Brand Manager (E-commerce / Amazon) i

About the Business This role sits within a backed, fast-scaling digital business that competes on commercial execution, pricing dynamics, and monetization strategy , not brand spend. The company operates high-traffic comparison platforms across finance, insurance, and consumer services, where rankings, payout structures, and partner economics directly determine revenue, visibility, and growth . Decisions are data-led, fast-moving, and closely tied to performance outcomes. The business is supported by an experienced investment group with a track record of scaling performance-driven platforms. The focus is on owning and optimizing monetization levers , not long planning cycles or top-heavy marketing layers.

Over time, you’ll take on direct ownership of partner economics, deal structure, and performance optimization , with a clear path to full accountability.
