About this role

As the Growth Intelligence & Trading Senior Manager, you will be responsible for steering JET's growth performance within the period. Reporting to the Senior Director Growth Planning and based in Amsterdam, this C-2 role owns the trading cadence—the mechanism through which the Growth organisation diagnoses deviations from plan, decides where to reallocate, and holds teams to execution. It converts a semi-annual plan into weekly decisions, with analytical rigour, a bias for action over analysis, and accountability for what markets and pillars actually deliver.

Location: Hybrid- 3 days a week from our Amsterdam or London office & 2 days working from home

Reporting to: Director of Growth

These are some of the key components to the position:

• Drive Real-Time Performance Diagnosis: Isolate root causes of topline deviations (volume, buyer base, frequency, conversion, and efficiency) and evaluate incremental ROI to ensure reallocations drive net-new growth.
• Own the Trading Cadence: Lead the weekly Global Trading Review and co-lead the monthly Growth Business Performance Review to steer the global topline in real time.
• Exercise Commercial & Financial Judgment: Decide which gaps require immediate intervention, normal variance handling, or executive escalation within delegated guardrails.
• Direct Cross-Functional Execution: Set mandatory corrective actions for matrix teams (Market teams, Growth Pillars, FP&A, and Data) and hold them accountable to delivery.
• Enforce Market Co-Ownership: Balance central decisions with local seasonality and competitive dynamics so regional teams co-own performance outcomes.
• Scale Analytical Standards: Shift the Business Growth Analysts from descriptive reporting ("what happened") to diagnostic and prescriptive problem-solving.
• Govern Trading Infrastructure: Design meeting cadences and maintain autonomous guardrails that allow markets to act quickly between reviews while preserving global alignment.

What will you bring to the team?

• Proven expertise in real-time performance diagnosis, decomposing order and MUB gaps, and applying marginal ROI, channel saturation, and cannibalisation logic.
• Strong leadership in running trading cadences, weekly global trading reviews, and cross-functional operational rhythms with a bias for action over analysis.
• Exceptional ability to direct and hold non-reporting teams (market teams, Growth pillars, FP&A, and Data & Analytics) accountable for closed-loop execution.
• Deep analytical rigor, moving reporting beyond what happened to what caused it and which lever responds, while setting the bar for Business Growth Analysts.
• Clear communication and executive presence to lead high-stakes steering forums, manage complex stakeholder interfaces, and report to the C-Suite.
• Strong alignment of reallocation decisions with budget envelopes, efficiency targets, and local competitive market nuances.
• Documented commitment to maintaining data-quality standards and leveraging a reliable single source of truth across all tracking models.
