Offer description

About WeBuyVintage WeBuyVintage is the UK’s largest face-to-face buyer of jewellery, antiques and other collectibles. We run more roadshows/valuation days than any other UK company - over 250 events every month, as well as operating a nationwide home visit service. Our business continues to expand its in-person only operation which brings trusted experts face-to-face with the public all around the UK. In under three years, we’ve grown from a pub-table idea into a profitable £50m turnover business, and we’re on a mission to make WeBuyVintage the number 1 way to safely sell your valuables in the UK. The Role Reporting into the Head of Business Development, you will be trusted to work autonomously to identify and execute high-impact projects that deliver growth, profit and process optimisation, and cross-business innovation. Working on a project-by-project basis, you will prepare robust business cases for your ideas, plan their execution, and actively deliver these projects up to the point of handover. This role is purpose-built for a commercially minded individual who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for a proactive problem-solver - somebody who simply finds a way to "get things done" with minimal bureaucracy or hesitation. Key Responsibilities Identify, Plan & Execute Growth Initiatives: Research and develop new business opportunities, including service expansion, strategic partnerships (e.g., auction clients), new product development, and other business innovations. End-to-End Project Management: Oversee key commercial projects from concept through to execution, working closely with the leadership team as part of the Projects team to drive measurable financial and operational results. Market & Data Analysis: Stay ahead of industry trends, shifting customer needs, and competitor activity to inform strategic decisions and build air-tight business cases. Business Efficiency & Optimisation: Identify areas for process or spend improvement, ensuring we can scale each area of our business as profitably and efficiently as possible. Stakeholder Management: Collaborate effectively with internal teams, external partners, and suppliers to ensure the smooth and successful execution of all projects. Reporting & Handover: Establish clear KPIs for all new initiatives, monitor their success, and create structured handover processes for the wider operations team once a project is stabilized. What We Are Looking For Experience: Proven track record (typically 3-5 years) in project management, commercial strategy, operations, or management consulting. Commercial Acumen: A strong understanding of business finance, profitability, and what drives revenue growth in a consumer-facing business. Execution-Focused: A self-starter mentality with a demonstrated ability to take an idea from a blank sheet of paper to a fully operational reality. Analytical Mindset: Comfortable working with data to build business cases, forecast outcomes, and measure project success. Communication Skills: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to manage and influence stakeholders at all levels, from front-line staff to external suppliers and company founders. Adaptability: Comfortable navigating ambiguity and pivoting quickly in a high-growth, fast-changing environment. What We Offer A 4-Day Working Week: We believe in working smart and giving you the time to recharge. Competitive Compensation: £40,000-£50,000 per year base salary. Impact & Influence: The unique opportunity to work closely at a senior level with the company founders, directly influencing key business decisions. Career Trajectory: A fast-growing, friendly, and entrepreneurial UK brand with huge room for rapid career progression and personal development. Dynamic Workload: A unique blend of high-level strategic thinking and hands-on, operational execution.
