Job Description:

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 senior leadership team.

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.

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 with internal teams and external partners to deliver measurable impact and embed new capabilities into operations.

Embedding and evolving

• Once channels are operational, establish long-term ownership models through hiring, outsourcing, training, or automation—ensuring sustainability and enabling focus on new opportunities.

Contributing to strategic direction

• Play a key leadership role in shaping company priorities, supporting strategic decision-making, and identifying future growth levers 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 track record of problem-solving and structured thinking. Consumer and Retail projects are a plus.
• 2+ years industry experience in a consumer business is strongly desired.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into strategies.
• Clear and confident communicator, 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.
• Enthusiasm for dynamic, fast-paced environments, especially those with a creative or growth-focused culture.
