The Senior Associate, Marketplace Growth, will be responsible for driving sales and increasing the visibility of marketplace products. In this role, you will work closely with the Business Development and Account Management Teams to help sellers grow sales. You will develop a deep understanding of the marketplace assortment, including categories and product types, where we have strong coverage. You will work cross-functionally with Marketing and Site Merchandising to serve as an internal advocate for marketplace products and ensure they are considered for on-site placements. Success in this role requires an ownership mentality and the ability to curate the on-site assortment comfortably.
To succeed in this role, you must have strong organizational skills-you will be deciding what to promote out of a catalog of over 1.5 million products (and counting). You should be excited to roll up your sleeves and dive into sales data, product lists, and category reports to understand the marketplace business and identify the most compelling assortment. You will need to be able to push for placements on-site and in marketing materials and work collaboratively with internal teams to make those placements happen. You will be responsible for owning the internal marketing and site merchandising calendar for the marketplace team, and you will interface with your colleagues to ensure the right assortment is in the right place at the right time.
If you are a creative problem-solver who gets excited about curation and putting content in front of customers, this is the role for you.
