The business
Our client is a global consumer brand, with a fast-growing e-commerce engine. Online marketplaces are treated as a critical pillar of the growth strategy across EMEA.
The role
- You’ll own the online marketplaces strategy across EMEA - Amazon plus high-growth regional and social commerce platforms - acting as the specialist voice and the connective tissue between Commercial, Brand, Media and Content.
- Own marketplace performance in real time: revenue, margin, trade spend, conversion, Buy Box % and organic rank across the EMEA portfolio.
- Lead the external e-commerce agency partner day to day - weekly trade reviews, monthly deep-dives, quarterly strategy sessions - holding them accountable while building a genuine long‑term partnership.
- Drive Joint Business Planning to optimise commercial terms and investment for marketplace growth.
- Identify margin‑accretive and volume opportunities - pricing and promo mechanics, subscription programmes, bundles, deal events.
- Maintain a single source of truth for marketplace performance - one dashboard, one set of numbers, used across the business.
- Translate platform algorithm changes and policy updates into proactive recommendations before they become commercial problems.
- Build a marketplace growth roadmap by country and platform, and upskill the wider EMEA team on channel data.
What you’ll need
- Proven experience running online marketplaces across EMEA - particularly Amazon (Seller Central, advertising and analytics consoles).
- Commercially sharp: fluent in e-commerce P&L levers (trade terms, promo mechanics, ad spend efficiency, margin impact) and credible with the Commercial stakeholders who own the numbers.
- A strong coordinator - able to hold multiple internal functions and an external agency to one shared plan.
- Data fluent: you present the commercial story, not just the numbers.
- Strategic but hands‑on - able to set a 90‑day roadmap and then roll up your sleeves.
- Experience in a regulated or consumer healthcare environment is an advantage.
