Job Description:

Head of Omnichannel Strategy-Consumer Marketplace

London

We have partnered with one of the UK's fastest-growing consumer marketplace businesses, seeking to hire a Head of Marketplace to work closely with the SLT.

This role involves working cross-functionally across strategy, marketing, creative, operations, and product, contributing directly to the company's growth. It offers opportunities to engage with experienced advisors and VC professionals from top-tier global e-commerce companies.

What you'll be doing:

• Evaluate industry trends, performance data, and category benchmarks to identify high-potential growth channels beyond core paid social—such as B2B, marketplaces, retention, Pinterest, SEO, and emerging social commerce platforms.
• Design and implement structured launch plans for priority growth channels—covering commercial models, resource planning, performance metrics, and coordination across key teams.

Driving channel execution and growth

• Oversee the end-to-end development of new channels—working hands-on or through internal teams and external partners to deliver measurable impact and embed new capabilities into daily operations.

Embedding and evolving

• Once channels are operational, establish long-term ownership models through hiring, outsourcing, training, or automation—ensuring sustainability and preparing for the next high-impact opportunity.

Contributing to strategic direction

• Play a key leadership role in shaping company-wide priorities, supporting strategic decisions, and identifying future growth opportunities as part of the senior leadership team.

What we are looking for:

• Minimum 2 years’ experience in strategy or consulting at a leading firm, with a strong record of problem-solving and structured thinking. Consumer and Retail projects are a plus.
• 2+ years industry experience in a consumer business is highly desirable.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into actionable strategies.
• Clear and confident communication, capable of engaging stakeholders at all levels.
• Proven leadership or potential to lead cross-functional initiatives.
• Experience in a consumer-facing business is a strong plus but not essential.
• Enthusiasm for dynamic, fast-paced environments, especially those with a creative or growth-focused culture.
