• Act as one of the EMEIA E-Business Champions

The skills and experience you need

We believe the ideal candidate should demonstrate the following skills:

• Experience working with marketplaces and/or D2C channels with an understanding of how to manage sales performance
• Preferably some exposure/experience in trading products on Amazon through either a seller or vendor model, or working with other third-party marketplaces
• Strong understanding of direct-to-consumer marketing and content

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate numerical data and analytical findings into actionable recommendations & meaningful insights to improve Trading performance.
• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills

In addition, you’ll be a self-starter who is comfortable working in a dynamic and challenging environment. You’ll also need to be detail orientated and able to respond quickly and prioritise accordingly. Strong interpersonal skills will serve you well, as you’ll want to build strong relationships to succeed.

As our common business language, fluency in spoken and written English is essential (additional language skills are highly advantageous). A willingness to travel within the EMEIA region (and occasionally beyond) is required.
