We're a fast-moving D2C brand that doesn't play it safe - we build. For years, we've been carving out a global position on marketplaces, turning Amazon and bol into high-performing, 8-digit revenue channels with real commercial ambition behind every decision. We work directly with platform teams, move fast when we spot opportunities, and hold ourselves to a standard that most companies only talk about in slides.
Now we're looking for the person who will own it all.
About the role: Global Marketplace Commerce LeadThis isn't a "manage the day-to-day" kind of job. As our Marketplace Commerce Lead, you will drive our global marketplace strategy from plan to P&L in close cooperation with the CDO. You'll translate big commercial ambitions into sharp quarterly trading plans, own cross-functional alignment across Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain and Operations – and make sure that when Prime Day hits, we're not scrambling. We're ready.
You'll report directly to our CDO – a digital veteran who’s been in the digital space since the early 2000s – while informally steering an agile cross‑functional team across the business. Global scope. Real ownership. Budget responsibility included.
If you've been executing someone else's strategy at a big FMCG player or a sizeable consumer brand - and you're ready to step into a role where you set the direction - read on.
What you’ll ownExecute the annual marketplace strategy across all markets (Amazon, bol, TikTok Shop, and beyond), translating it into concrete trading plans per quarter and month, built around tent‑pole events (Prime Days, BFCM), seasonality and category opportunities.
Monitor and steer business performance per market and category — and when something's underperforming, you don't wait. You act.
Drive the Integrated Business Planning process: keeping Sales, Growth Marketing, and Operations aligned and moving in the same direction, at speed.
Own demand planning and volume forecasting in lockstep with Operations, so we're always in stock and never sitting on dead inventory.
Lead budget planning (including latest estimates) and ensure all milestones are delivered on time and in full.
Coach and develop your direct report, and build a team culture defined by energy, ownership and accountability.
Own a global revenue line and watch it grow — because you built the plan.
Turn marketplace chaos into a machine: predictable, scalable, best‑in‑class.
Be the person who connects the dots between commercial ambition and operational reality.
Work at one of Amazon's top sellers based in the Netherlands and help us to build out one of the most advanced marketplace setups in the Dutch D2C space.
5+ years of experience in digital commerce or marketplace roles - ideally within FMCG (think Unilever, P&G, Nestlé, L'Oréal, Kraft Heinz, –Reckitt or similar). You know what rigorous commercial planning looks like and you want to apply that sharpness in a setting where you have real autonomy.
You're a commercially sharp, data‑driven operator who can zoom out to set strategy and zoom in to unblock execution.
You understand the language of marketplaces: trading calendars, in‑stock rates, contribution margin, AHR, forecasting – this is your daily vocabulary.
You thrive at the intersection of multiple functions – you bring people along without needing the authority to command them.
You make fast, high‑quality decisions under ambiguity. You don't need perfect information to act.
Excellent command of English (written and verbal). Dutch is a plus but not required.
You'll join a lean, ambitious team that moves fast and takes marketplace commerce seriously. No endless approval layers. No death-by-PowerPoint. Just a focused group of people building something global from Utrecht.
We offerA competitive salary, with a range of € 80.000 to € 110.000 on a yearly basis (FT, including performance-based bonus and holiday pay).
Participation in our management incentive plan (investment opportunity).
Company funded pension plan.
Training budget that can be used according to your own development wishes and needs.
Hybrid working setup, based in Utrecht.
Real ownership of a global P&L — not a shadow role.
A team that actually knows what it's doing — and pushes you to keep getting better.
Oh – and we’re actually making quite some fun together.
