Job description

Our Journey

ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, with the first prototype built during a 24-hour sprint. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We’re building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.

About the Job:

At ShopBack, we are on a mission to make shopping rewarding by providing our customers with cashback on their everyday purchases. In this role, you will play a key role in driving our growth across all 12 markets by managing top-tier merchant relationships and expanding our portfolio across key industries like eCommerce, fashion, electronics, and travel. Reporting to the Head of Commercial, you will lead strategic partnerships, working closely with internal and external stakeholders to identify new opportunities and deliver exceptional results.
