• Lead cross-functional delivery with Product, Marketing, Live, Seller Growth, Auth Ops and GSD to ensure seamless execution.

• Use market and competitive insight (including structured benchmarks) to inform product prioritisation

• Forecast category performance, present to senior leadership, and own corrective action where targets are at risk.

• Surface risks (operational, authenticity, policy) and put mitigations in place to protect buyer/seller experience.

What you’ll bring

• Demostrated experience in category management, ecommerce or partner strategy

• Track record of driving GMV growth and managing high-performing seller or brand portfolios.
