The Opportunity
OLX is looking for an experienced and senior Head of Consumer Segment Marketing to own the consumer side of Motors, OLX's largest category at 49% of group revenue. The role covers the consumer brand, consumer demand, and the private-seller supply the marketplace model depends on, across Motors brands (Otomoto, Autovit, Standvirtual and OLX). French La Centrale and South African Autotrader will be joined to the scope at a later stage.
The role is deliberately senior and based in Poland, home to Otomoto, the largest brand in the portfolio. It is a leadership role over a multi-market team spanning Poland, Romania, and Portugal, with Ukraine's coverage held centrally.
You'll lead a flat, single-layer team of brand managers, one per brand and market, plus social media across the brands, and you'll work closely with central marketing pods (performance, CRM, SEO and generative search, media, and the studio) to deliver one plan across markets while holding a consistent brand standard.
This role reports to the Category Director, Motors.
What You'll Do
● Own the consumer brand building execution plan for Otomoto, Autovit, Standvirtual, and the OLX motors category, setting the brief for the central studio and holding the quality bar on what comes back.
● Drive consumer demand end to end (audience growth, brand consideration, app engagement, and the quality of buyer intent reaching the marketplace) working through the performance, SEO/generative search, CRM, and media pods rather than running a parallel channel team.
● Grow and protect private-seller (C2C) supply: acquisition, the listing journey, retention and reactivation, and the propositions (valuation, pricing confidence, safety, and speed) that make selling privately the obvious choice.
● Jointly own, with the professional segment lead, the migration of grey dealers, traders listing as private sellers, into the professional proposition, the largest single opportunity in Motors.
● Lead the brand managers directly in a single flat layer with no country-head tier, one plan, several markets, local judgement inside a common standard.
● Get outstanding delivery from specialists who sit in central pods rather than in your own team, through a sharp brief, clear prioritization, and the pod appraisal model.
● Recruit, mentor, and develop your team, building people who can move between category and central craft roles over time.
● Partner with the Professional Segment lead and the Strategy, Planning and Operations lead to align on shared objectives, budget, and planning.
What We're Looking For
Proven experience leading consumer marketing for a marketplace, platform, or major consumer brand, accountable for both supply and demand rather than just one.
● Genuinely senior on brand: able to set a consumer proposition, write a brief that gets great work back, and hold a quality bar against agencies and internal specialists.
● Experience managing a multi-market team and producing one plan across several countries, balancing a common standard with local difference.
● Equally comfortable with performance, lifecycle, and search (treating brand and performance as inseparable disciplines).
● Has grown a two-sided audience, or can demonstrate a clear grasp of how consumer demand converts into commercial value for professional customers.
● Strong on measurement and effectiveness: comfortable holding a standard on brand tracking, incrementality, and mix.
● Skilled at leading through influence, getting outstanding delivery from specialists who report elsewhere in a hub-and-spoke or centre-of-excellence model.
● Based in or willing to be based in Poland, and comfortable operating in English across Polish, Romanian, and Portuguese teams.
● Holds a marketing qualification.
● Automotive marketplace or automotive brand experience, C2C supply and seller-proposition experience, and Central and Eastern European market experience are a plus.
