You will work closely with the country teams to identify areas of underperformance, implement high-impact improvements, and help scale a more structured approach across markets.

The role has a particular focus on accelerating performance across strategic ecommerce retailers outside of Amazon, where there is significant opportunity to build capability and unlock growth.

This is a hands-on role with genuine scope. You will be a key hire in this area, helping shape how ecommerce performance is improved across Europe.

You will come from an ecommerce, digital shelf, online trading, or retail media background, ideally within beauty, fashion, lifestyle, or consumer goods categories.
