Overview

1323 | Interim E-Commerce Manager B2C | France

Our client is an Eastern European headquartered consumer goods company operating in the specialist outdoor and leisure equipment sector. The business designs proprietary branded products and manufactures them through a well-established global sourcing network.

With annual revenues in the tens of millions of euros and a workforce of around 100 employees, the company has built a strong reputation within its niche and today ranks among the top five European players in its specialist outdoor segment.

The company has developed a strong B2B distribution footprint supplying specialist retailers and digital resellers across multiple European markets. Alongside this established wholesale channel, the leadership team has been gradually expanding direct-to-consumer digital commerce in selected European markets to capture additional value from its brand and growing customer community.

The French market represents a major and strategically important scale-up of these existing B2C operations. The company has already launched several digital initiatives, including e-commerce campaigns, social media engagement, and targeted online marketing activities.

The next step now requires experienced interim leadership to professionalise and scale the B2C channel into a structured and profitable growth engine.
