About The Team

Reporting directly to the JD Worldwide CEO, the Strategy & Partnerships team is a lean, agile, and fast-paced unit which drives critical growth initiatives across corporate strategy, business development, and post-deal integration. The team is entrusted with significant responsibility, from identifying and executing strategic partnerships, to deepening JD's global network of relationships with global brands and retail partners, to ensuring seamless integration of acquired businesses that delivers measurable value. With broad ownership and direct executive exposure, the team operates in a high-accountability environment where speed, judgment, and impact matter.

Following the acquisition of a majority shareholding in CECONOMY, we're looking for an Integration & Partnerships Associate to take a key role in the future collaboration between CECONOMY & JD.com. The role combines integration project management with regulatory coordination, helping teams deliver joint initiatives while meeting applicable regulatory requirements. Working closely with business units across both companies, you will:

Integration and stakeholder management

• Project manage the integration workstreams, including plans, milestones, dependencies, risks and status reporting. In doing so, you will work with experts across logistics, technology, marketing, merchandising and other functions. Comfort embracing new challenges and learning on the job is a must for this role.
• Manage multiple concurrent workstreams and reprioritise as commercial needs shift. Work proactively to identify and resolve blockers, escalating when necessary.
• Engage with senior stakeholders and leaders of CECONOMY and JD.com, representing JD.com with credibility and supporting efficient decision making by preparing and presnting materials for executive level meetings. Building trusted working relationships with teams across Europe and China as well as external advisers and monitors is essential.

Regulatory coordination and governance

• Identify and challenge business decisions where they risk conflicting with regulatory or other requirements
• Act as the single point of contact for regulatory monitors, external and internal experts, external legal counsel and other authorities
• Assist with and review all reports prepared for regulatory review processes associated with the collaboration, checking them for accuracy and completeness before submission
• Coordinate responses to information requests, gathering accurate data from across the business to agreed deadlines
• Manage and operate the central document and information repository holding all exchanges, supporting documents and evidence linked to the collaboration project

This role suits someone with a strong background in law, accounting, consulting or other professional services background and proven project management skills. You do not need to be a regulatory specialist; you do need rigour, sound judgement and the confidence to constructively challenge the business and work efficiently with the specialist advisers.

About You

• Strong legal or accounting/consulting background, gained in-house, in a law firm or in professional services and accounting
• Proven project management experience across multiple workstreams and owners
• Technology and data literacy, with the ability to identify potential issues in systems, data and processes
• Rigorous documentation skills and exceptional attention to detail
• The seniority and confidence to challenge business decisions where necessary
• Strong commercial awareness and clear written and verbal communication, including with senior and external stakeholders
• Exposure to merger remedies, regulatory monitoring or trustee work
• Experience of post-merger integration or partnership negotiation
• Professional qualification such as a law qualification, ACA, ACCA or CIMA
• Experience in retail, e-commerce or consumer businesses
