Head of Omnichannel Strategy-Consumer Marketplace

London

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

This role works cross-functionally across strategy, marketing, creative, operations, and product, contributing directly to the company’s next phase of growth. It also offers the opportunity to engage with experienced advisors and VC professionals from top-tier global e-commerce businesses.

Responsibilities include:

• Evaluating 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.
• Designing and implementing structured launch plans for priority growth channels—covering commercial models, resource planning, performance metrics, and coordination across key teams.

Channel execution and growth:

• Overseeing 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:

• Establishing long-term ownership models through hiring, outsourcing, training, or automation—ensuring sustainability and shifting focus to the next high-impact opportunity.

Strategic contribution:

• Playing a key leadership role in shaping company-wide priorities, supporting strategic decision-making, and identifying future growth levers as part of the senior leadership team.

Candidate requirements:

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