About us

Connect is your all-in-one ticketing platform giving you full control of your inventory, pricing, distribution, revenue and data. Since launching the growth has been rapid and were looking for the best people to help drive us higher.

About the role
We’re hiring an Affiliate & Partnerships Manager to build and run the channels that sell our concert, football and live-event tickets through other people: influencers, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators, affiliates and B2B partners. You’ll recruit these partners and give them what they need to sell. You’ll track every sale back to its source and grow the channel into a measurable share of total ticket revenue.
This is a hands-on role, and you will own revenue. You must have worked in ticketing for concerts, sports or live events before. That means you already understand on-sale spikes, fixture and tour calendars, inventory, pricing tiers and how fans actually buy.
‍
What you’ll do
Influencers and creators

• Recruit TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators in music, football and nightlife niches who can move ticket sales.
• Negotiate deals (commission, flat fee, free tickets or a mix) and run campaigns around on-sales, tours and big fixtures.
• Brief creators with content angles, deadlines, and tracked links or promo codes.
• Make sure all creator content follows ASA/CAP and CMA advertising disclosure rules.

Affiliates

• Build and manage an affiliate programme. Targets include fan pages, football and music communities, travel and hospitality sites, deal sites and ticket comparison sites.
• Set commission structures, onboard affiliates, and keep them active with new events and incentives.

B2B partnerships

• Sign partners who sell tickets or bring in leads. These include travel agencies, hotels and concierges, tour operators, corporate hospitality buyers, fan clubs, student and university groups, and event promoters.
• Set up group, corporate and hospitality package deals for concerts and matches.

Tracking and growth

• Track every sale and lead back to its partner using links, codes and the CRM.
• Report weekly on revenue by partner and channel.
• Cut partners that don’t perform, scale the ones that do, and manage partner payouts.
• Work with marketing and sales so partner pushes line up with on-sale dates and inventory.

What you’ll bring
Must have

• 3+ years in partnerships, affiliate or influencer marketing, including at least 2 years in ticketing, concerts, sports or live events.
• A track record of tickets sold or revenue generated through partners, with numbers you can share.
• An existing network of creators, affiliates or B2B buyers in music, football or entertainment.
• Confidence negotiating commission and fee deals, including saying no to bad ones.
• Hands-on experience with tracking tools: affiliate platforms, promo codes, UTM links, CRM and spreadsheets.
• A strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, and of what content sells tickets rather than just getting views.

A bonus to have

• Experience at a ticketing platform, promoter, venue or football club.
• Contacts with travel agencies, hotels or corporate hospitality buyers.
• Experience running group or hospitality packages for matches or concerts.

What we offer

• £40,000 base salary plus commission
