Open 34d reposted 2× · 2 open copies

We are looking for an Marketplace Operations & Growth Lead to take full ownership of our marketplace and key online retail business across Amazon and other leading platforms, including Kaufland, OTTO, ManoMano, Leroy Merlin, and others.

This is a role for someone who knows marketplaces inside out - and is ready to lead a small, ambitious team through the next stage of growth. You'll combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, shape how the team works, and build the processes that turn good results into consistent ones.

Tasks

Strategy & Growth

  • Build and execute a practical 12–24 month growth plan across platforms — focused on market share, margin, and ACOS/ROI
  • Spot growth opportunities that aren't obvious yet — new channels, underserved categories, pricing gaps
  • Set clear targets by marketplace, category, and SKU; keep execution on track through regular business reviews
  • Own the numbers behind the product: pricing, promotions, logistics costs, VAT, and platform fees

Assortment & Category Management

  • Shape the assortment strategy — SKU structure, price tiers, and segmentation that make sense for a growing catalog
  • Stay sharp on competitor positioning; maintain price parity and basket competitiveness across platforms
  • Continuously improve the product mix based on what's actually selling, what's seasonal, and where demand is moving

Operations & Supply Chain

  • Run day-to-day Amazon FBA/FBM operations and coordinate with 3PL and warehouse partners
  • Own inventory planning, stock allocation, and replenishment — keeping availability high without overcommitting capital
  • Find and fix operational inefficiencies: packaging, logistics flow, return rates — the small things that compound fast in a growing business

Performance Marketing

  • Manage marketplace advertising across Amazon Ads, PPC, and automated campaigns
  • Run external traffic channels: Google Ads, Meta, affiliates, retargeting — with a clear eye on ROI
  • Drive promotional mechanics — deals, coupons, platform events — with direct accountability for P&L impact

Content, SEO & Conversion

  • Improve product visibility through keyword strategy, SEO, A+ content, and strong creative assets
  • Optimize the full funnel: impressions → clicks → conversions → repeat purchases
  • Keep ratings, reviews, and brand reputation in good shape across all platforms

Analytics & Automation

  • Build lean, useful dashboards - revenue, margin, inventory, returns, and the KPIs that actually matter
  • Develop forecasting models for demand, seasonality, and pricing - practical tools the team can use
  • Introduce automation and tooling to reduce manual work and keep decision-making fast as the business scales

Partnerships & Leadership

  • Manage relationships with Amazon account managers and participate in platform beta programs
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with logistics, finance, production, design, and legal teams
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 5 specialists; define standards, processes, and performance culture

Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in e-commerce / marketplace / Amazon ecosystem roles
  • Proven experience in P&L or revenue ownership
  • Experience in performance marketing (PPC, ROAS optimization, external traffic)
  • Strong analytical mindset with experience in BI, dashboards, and forecasting
  • Hands-on leadership experience (team management preferred)
  • High ownership mindset, entrepreneurial approach, and structured thinking
  • Fluent English is required; knowledge of Slavic languages is an advantage - our team is international and mixed

Benefits

  • Remote work from anywhere within the EU
  • Competitive compensation package with quarterly performance-based bonuses
  • A fast-moving, ambitious, and performance-driven team environment
  • A strong collaborative culture built around accountability, initiative, and continuous growth
