Reporting to the Senior Trading Manager, this role is fully accountable for the market’s commercial performance, ensuring the localization and execution of Smartbox’s digital trading strategy.
This position requires a strategic thinker and doer, capable of leading through influence, collaborating cross-functionally, and making data-driven decisions to maximize trading outcomes.

- Lead campaign planning and execution, ensuring coordination across Content, CRM, Product, and Acquisition teams.
- Continuously optimize the online catalogue, including ranking, categorization, and navigation for key market segments.
- Drive UX and customer journey improvements, partnering with CRO and Product teams to increase conversion and engagement.
- Represent the market in performance meetings, proactively communicating outcomes, risks, and opportunities to senior stakeholders.
- Act as a cross-functional project leader, delivering high-impact initiatives without formal line management.
Requirements:
- Minimum 3 years’ experience in eCommerce, trading, or digital merchandising.
- Proven track record in driving revenue growth and improving digital performance through merchandising and promotional levers.
- Strong commercial acumen and ability to make strategic, data-informed decisions independently.
- Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to lead across functions and influence without authority.
