What We Offer

Joining Joybuy means becoming part of a business where people, innovation, and impact work together to shape the future of cross-border e-commerce. You’ll contribute to smart supply chains, efficient logistics, and meaningful projects that drive real customer value. With a competitive salary, great office locations, and a supportive, people-first culture, you’ll have the space to grow your career, learn from talented colleagues, and make a genuine impact in a fast-expanding international business.

  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to structure deals that balance brand value and measurable business impact.

  • Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills, comfortable engaging with external brand partners at varying seniority levels.

  • Strong project management skills, able to run multiple partnership initiatives simultaneously with cross-functional teams.

  • Data-driven mindset, comfortable defining KPIs and evaluating campaign/partnership performance.

  • Familiarity with the UK local market and consumer landscape is highly desirable.
