Working within the Affinity Partnerships Business Development team, the BDM will report to the Head of Affinity Partnerships. You will be responsible for identifying, developing and negotiating new strategic partnerships for Seopa’s comparison solutions portfolio. While insurance comparison is a core focus, experience in other comparison or switching verticals, such as energy, broadband, mobile, current accounts, or credit cards, is advantageous.
This role will play a critical part in driving Seopa’s next phase of growth by securing commercially robust, scalable partnerships that deliver meaningful revenue and profit. Recent partnership wins have included leading national media companies and major UK retail brands.
You may be required to attend meetings and/or conferences which could involve some overseas travel (primarily within the UK). Seopa offers a hybrid working pattern.
A degree in a business, technology, or related field is desirable but not essential where relevant experience can be demonstrated.
