About The Role

GSF Car Parts is looking for an eCommerce Product Manager to lead the growth of our non-car-parts proposition across tools, accessories, lifestyle and leisure.

Key Responsibilities

Category & Range Development

• Own the online product strategy and commercial performance across tools, accessories, lifestyle and leisure categories.
• Identify new categories, brands and products that can deliver incremental eCommerce revenue.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline of new-to-range opportunities.
• Identify gaps within the existing GSF range using customer demand, search behaviour, competitor activity and commercial performance.
• Develop clear category and range plans covering sales, margin, product expansion and promotional opportunities.
• Regularly review performance and make recommendations to expand, rationalise or optimise ranges.
• Identify seasonal opportunities and build appropriate ranges around key customer missions.

Dropship & Supplier Development

• Lead the identification and onboarding of new dropship suppliers.
• Proactively approach potential suppliers and brands to understand their range, commercial proposition and dropship capabilities.
• Assess potential partners based on product opportunity, commercial terms, customer proposition and operational capability.
• Build strong day-to-day relationships with suppliers and hold them accountable for performance.
• Work with internal stakeholders to take suppliers from initial opportunity through to trading online.
• Continually develop the dropship supplier pipeline to expand the GSF online assortment.
• Monitor existing dropship suppliers and identify opportunities to improve sales or expand their ranges.

Product Onboarding & Launch

• Take ownership of getting new supplier ranges and products live on the GSF website quickly and accurately.
• Coordinate the collection and upload of product information including descriptions, specifications, images, pricing, fulfilment information and other required product data.
• Work with internal Product, Data and Technology teams to resolve any product onboarding issues.
• Ensure products are categorised correctly and easy for customers to discover.
• Ensure products have strong digital content that clearly communicates their features, benefits and customer use cases.
• Manage new range launches from supplier agreement through to products being available for customers to purchase.
• Continually look for opportunities to reduce the time between identifying a product opportunity and getting it live.

Commercial Ownership

This role is accountable for results, not simply the number of products added to the website.

• Own revenue and gross margin performance across assigned categories.
• Deliver agreed commercial targets for new and existing ranges.
• Build sales forecasts and targets for new suppliers and categories.
• Monitor product and supplier performance and take action where ranges are underperforming.
• Analyse sales, margin, conversion and customer behaviour to identify growth opportunities.
• Work with Trading and Marketing to develop promotional plans that accelerate category growth.
• Identify opportunities to increase average order value through cross-sell and complementary products.
• Ensure new ranges generate genuinely incremental sales rather than simply increasing the number of SKUs available.
