  • 2+ years of experience in Category Management, Business Strategy, or Consulting — ideally in e-commerce, retail, or consumer goods.
  • Proven P&L ownership or significant contribution to commercial performance.
  • Strategic, analytical mindset with strong commercial acumen — you understand pricing, margin drivers, and portfolio management.
  • Business ownership mentality: you take full responsibility, act decisively, and identify growth opportunities proactively.
  • Cross-functional executor: you align teams, manage dependencies, and follow through with high standards.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity in a fast-scaling environment.
  • Fluency in English required

What we offer:
