Job Title: Marketing Manager (12month FTC for maternity cover)
Company: Genie Shopping Ltd
Department: Partnerships
Location: Flexible - Distributed with use of Cambridge office and occasional travel
Working Hours: Full Time 37.5 hours per week with flexible working arrangements
Salary Range: £37,855 - £41,010 pa
Who is Genie Shopping?
Genie Shopping is a UK-based, high-growth performance marketing business operating through the affiliate channel and CSS ecosystem. As a certified Google CSS Premium Partner, we work with retail giants like Boots, ebay, Frasers, B&Q, Currys, and Lookfantastic, serving over 57 billion ad impressions to users across our network.
We differentiate ourselves through our managed CSS CPA model and our technical scale. We don’t act as a traditional CSS; we act as a performance partner. Alongside our self-managed SaaS offering, our core revenue comes from our CPA model, which means our success is directly aligned with our clients'. We are a driving force in the industry, leading the conversation through education, sponsorship, and active event contribution. This approach has led to huge success, doubling our growth in 2024 and setting new records in 2025.
We are a certified Great Place to Work with a remote-first setup. Our environment is small (~20 people) but ambitious. We value:
Autonomy: We hire people who want to own their output. If you love solving complex problems and implementing your own ideas, you will thrive here.
Connection: We prioritize culture over geography. We get together for proper team socials every quarter - think punting, cocktail making, and go-karting, to ensure we stay connected as people, not just colleagues.
The team is remotely based, but has fluidity in meeting in-person for client meetings, industry events, strategy days and team socials. There are requirements to travel to Cambridge, London (or other UK locations) once a month on average.

Job Overview
This is 12-month maternity cover for the Marketing Manager role, reporting to the Head of Partnerships.
The role description below reflects the permanent role in full. In practice, the first few months will centre on a smaller set of immediate priorities:
Brand refresh: coordinating between internal teams and creative/branding agencies as this moves forward, a strong hands-on priority from day one.
Marketing CRM migration: this is already underway. You'll join at the rollout and adoption stage, helping the team get trained up and using the new system well, rather than shaping the technical build.
Keeping the existing marketing motion running: content, campaigns and day-to-day activity need to carry on at pace through the handover and beyond, so continuity in the first few weeks matters as much as new initiatives.
You'll get a proper handover from the outgoing Marketing Manager before they go on leave, covering live campaigns, agency relationships and everything in flight.
