As Head of Marketplaces , you will be responsible for setting up the Business Unit  and spearheading its development into a key growth pillar to support our main mission: Be the player that provides the most value to consumers across Europe. You will be reporting into the Chief Growth Officer and have full oversight and execution over the Marketplaces BU (incl. P&L ownership, co-building operational flows, integrations, commercial strategy & execution, in which marketplaces and countries to operate & in which not).

Together with the Demand & Growth team you will partner to grow and establish this business in FLIP in order to cement our position as the leading refurbished electronics marketplace in CEE.

The role will cover the following responsabilities:

• P&L Responsibility , accountable to the CGO, to deliver GMV / Volume / Profit targets.
• Work together with cross-functional teams (OPS, Commercial, PDT/Tech, CS, FIN) to deliver a seamless experience to our customers and partners in 3P.
• Find untapped opportunities for growth in the segment (what countries, what marketplaces, what integrations), assess opportunities (incl. Having the right portfolio and price) and execute.
• Be extremely involved in day-to-day operations and focus on executing the plan on-time and in-full.
• Listen to customers & partners , sense market sentiment and gather industry insights to feedback into Business Plans.

Experience and Background:

• 5+ years in commercial management or analysis, e-commerce management, management consulting, or a similar role in a data-intensive environment.

• Strong analytical toolkit : you can take a set of complex data and manage to derive clear insights from it.
• Comfortable in creating better/worse scenarios / driver-decomposition and trade-off models (for example price versus volume, mix versus margin etc.)
• Track record of presenting complex analysis to senior stakeholders : you know how to tell a story with data, not just show a table.
• Cross-functional experience across multiple departments, with the ability to navigate competing priorities.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment; you do not wait for perfect data to form a view.
