Main purpose of job

A rapidly growing Internet Service Provider is seeking to establish Digital Comparison Sites and affiliate partnerships as a core new route to market.

The position demands an individual with strong industry knowledge, a well-developed network, proven negotiation capability, and the presence and credibility to work with senior decision-makers across partner organisations.
