About The Team

You’ll be joining the JD.com team, which values collaboration, ownership, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Reporting to the Director of Government Relations, you will help build our Government Affairs and policy capabilities from the ground up. The business launched across Europe in March 2026 and operates as a retailer, marketplace, China-sourced private label manufacturer, logistics operator, and OTC pharmacy.

This is a genuine opportunity to help shape it and grow with it.

What You’ll Do

• Support the development of long-term European relationships with government entities, regulators, and industry organisations aligned with corporate strategy and regional needs across all six markets — including digital, competition and ecommerce practices, customs reform, product compliance, safety, trading standards, EPR and sustainability, AI and digital, and supply chain.
• Help manage JD's positioning on key issues and policies impacting its business, including for ecommerce retailers and marketplace providers, contributing to government-level recognition and brand image.

• Support engagement with JD Group's China headquarters and China-based government affairs/regulatory teams to ensure European messaging aligns with Group-level strategy.
• Provide input on government affairs and regulatory considerations for M&A activity across European markets, including due diligence support and stakeholder mapping.

About You

• Solid experience in Public Policy, Regulatory Affairs, or Government Relations, with some direct EU or UK regulatory engagement
• Working knowledge of the EU digital regulatory landscape
• Comfortable operating in a function that is still being built, with limited existing infrastructure
