- Identify gaps in supply and selection, and onboard relevant sellers and inventory to improve category competitiveness
- Work closely alongside seller-facing teams and cross-functional partners (product, marketing, finance) to drive execution and remove barriers
What You Will Bring
- 3+ years of work experience; prior experience in strategy consulting strongly preferred, e-commerce experience is a plus
