Job description

Senior Marketplace Executive Huddersfield Full time Permanent

Senior Marketplace Executive
Buy It Direct Group | Huddersfield| Up to £40, | Full time, permanent

Ready to own the channels, not just support them?

Buy It Direct Group runs a family of UK online retailers, including Appliances Direct, Laptops Direct, Furniture, Better Bathrooms and Outdoor Living Hot Tubs. Marketplaces are a big part of how we reach customers. We trade on eBay, Amazon and B&Q today, and we want to be on more.

We're bringing in Linnworks to run our B&Q channel and to make it quicker for us to launch on new platforms. That makes this the right time to bring in someone experienced who can grow what we have and help decide where we go next.

You'll be the day-to-day owner of our marketplace channels. You'll work closely with our trading, operations and development teams and report to.

What you'll do

• Run our eBay, Amazon and B&Q accounts day to day, and help us assess and launch new marketplaces.
• Own marketplace performance, meaning sales, margin and cost of sale by channel. Each week you'll report to the trading team on what's working and what needs fixing.
• Be our lead on Linnworks. Help get B&Q running smoothly through it, then use it to get new channels live quickly.
• Keep account health in good shape, covering dispatch times, late shipments, tracking, returns and seller standards. Fix problems before they turn into penalties.
• Set and manage marketplace pricing and promotions within agreed rules, including coupons, deals and sponsored ads. Judge them on profit, not just sales.
• Improve listing quality across the range with better titles, content, images and A+ content, and fix listings that are mismatched or suppressed.
• Work with category traders to decide which products go on which channel. Grow the range wherever the margin supports it.
• Keep track of changes to marketplace fees, policies and features, and explain what they mean for us.

What we're looking for

• Proven hands-on experience running Amazon and eBay seller accounts. Experience with B&Q (Mirakl) or other marketplaces is a big plus.
• Experience with a multichannel platform such as Linnworks, ChannelAdvisor or similar. Linnworks experience will make you stand out.
• A commercial mindset. You understand fees, margin and cost of sale, and you know that not every sale makes a profit.
• Strong Excel skills. You're comfortable with large product and order datasets, pivot tables and lookups.
• A track record of managing account health and resolving issues with marketplace support teams.
• The confidence to work with traders, the warehouse, finance and developers, and to push for what the channel needs.
• You're organised, self-driven and you stick with a problem until it's solved.

What we can offer

• Ownership of a channel mix that matters to the group's plans, with support to grow it.
• A real say in which new platforms we launch on next.
• A role that grows as the channels grow.
• Salary up to £40,
• Healthcare cash plan.
• Your birthday off after a year with us.
• Staff discount across all of our brands.
• Free on-site parking.

At Buy It Direct, we dare to be different. We've built this business from the ground up to become one of the UK's largest and fastest growing online retailers turning over £ million with a target of doubling in size over the next three years. We are proud of the products and services we provide across our six well recognised, award-winning online brands including Laptops Direct, Appliances Direct, Better Bathrooms and Furniture.
