REMOTE okay, but bonus points if you can get to London sometimes.

We need to develop a partnership portal where our business can keep our introducing affiliates up to date with commissions due (CVC file upload rather than system integration), check status of introductions, see upcoming social and corporate events, access training material and make referrals.

Simple design. Interaction via pc and tablet.
