Job Description

Levanta is hiring a Publisher Development Manager to lead publisher acquisition and growth across our live Amazon markets in EMEA — UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain. This role is squarely focused on Amazon: identifying, onboarding, and optimizing sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, media buyers, and content publishers that drive GMV for Amazon-side brands in these markets.

You'll report directly to the VP of Marketplace and work closely with our Creator team, which is deeply technical and hands-on with tracking and integrations — you won't have a dedicated engineer on partner calls, so you'll need to be comfortable troubleshooting tracking and attribution issues yourself, escalating only when something is genuinely broken on our end. This is a relationship-driven, technically fluent role: equal parts partnership development and hands-on problem-solving.

What You'll Do:

Strategic partnership development

Identify and cultivate relationships with sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, and high-value content publishers across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain
Build a prioritized target list of publishers and sub-networks in each market, with a tailored outreach approach per segment
Negotiate partnership terms that align with our Amazon-side business goals

Partnership optimization & growth

Analyze the performance of existing EMEA publisher partnerships, including underperforming ones, and build plans to re-engage or grow them
Work directly with partners to optimize product feeds, improve conversion, and unlock growth
Track the competitive landscape across EMEA affiliate/publisher ecosystems and surface new opportunities

Technical implementation & troubleshooting

Own technical onboarding for new publisher partners — API integrations, tracking setup, and attribution accuracy — largely independently
Troubleshoot tracking and integration issues directly with partners; escalate internally only when something requires engineering
Maintain clear technical documentation partners can use to self-serve during setup

Performance analysis & reporting

Track and report on partnership performance — GMV, conversion rate, activation status — across the EMEA portfolio
Surface trends and insights that inform where to prioritize time and resources next

Cross-functional collaboration

Partner with our Creator team to keep messaging and territory approach consistent as the EMEA publisher program grows
Share partner feedback with Product to inform the roadmap where relevant

What You Bring:

5-7 years of experience in affiliate marketing, partnership development, or business development — direct experience with sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, or similar publisher types required
Hands-on experience with API integrations and a strong working understanding of affiliate attribution and tracking technology
Comfort troubleshooting technical integration issues independently, without a dedicated engineer on the call
Familiarity with affiliate platform technologies (Impact, CJ, AWIN, or similar) and comfort reading technical documentation
Strong negotiation skills
Self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, entrepreneurial — this role builds a lot of its own process rather than following an established playbook
Based in the UK or Netherlands
Fluent English required

Nice to have:

German, French, or Spanish language skills — our biggest secondary markets after the UK

Success Metrics:

Number of strategic partnerships activated (sub-networks, comparison shopping sites, content publishers) across EMEA markets
GMV and revenue generated through activated EMEA publisher partnerships
Partnership activation rate and time-to-revenue
Performance improvement of existing/underperforming partnerships

**This role is location specific to the United Kingdom or the Netherlands.**
