Job description

Your tasks – this is what awaits you in detail

• You build new partnerships with European e-commerce partners for the Kaufland Marketplaces and own the entire onboarding process
• You act as an enabler between partner offerings and seller success: you evaluate partner solutions based on the concrete problem they solve for our sellers (onboarding, logistics, pricing, content, repricing, etc.) and use and present them as growth enabler
• You ensure partner solutions aren’t just onboarded but actively integrated and used in the seller journey – through documentations and first marketing activities on partner site
• You track adoption of partner solutions among sellers and derive optimizations from it – success is measured by seller impact (activation, GMV, churn reduction), not just partner satisfaction
• You gather seller feedback on partner solutions and translate it into concrete requirements for partners as well as product ideas for other teams
• You work closely with Sales, Product Management, Customer Service, Marketing, and Tech Development to turn ideas into real new features with high adoption rate
• You represent our marketplace at e-commerce events and grow your network of multipliers there

• You understand APIs and technical integration concepts well enough to translate between partners and engineering – deep technical/coding skills are not required, experience with Jira, Tableau, and BigQuery is a plus
• You think and act strategically, with a strong ability to prioritize and build a partner / product roadmap
• You have a proactive attitude and a hands‑on mentality
• You enjoy working in an international environment and you are fluent in English (C1); good German skills (B2) or additional European language skills are a plus
