Go-To-Market (GTM) Leadership: Lead the end-to-end delivery of high-profile launches. Whether it’s integrating Partner Loyalty programs, launching new Dark Store (HOP) sites, or rolling out features like "Basket Mix" (combining Grocery and Restaurant orders), you own the governance and execution. Policy & Process Architecture: Define how the business grows. You will design and embed the frameworks that allow for efficient scale, such as Partner Onboarding Playbooks, segmentation frameworks, and restricted items policies.

You will lead commercial relationships and contract negotiations with middleware providers, catalogue tools, and picking software/hardware partners to ensure they integrate seamlessly into our product stack. Senior Stakeholder Management: Provide clear visibility on program health to senior leadership, proactively unblocking teams to bring innovation to market at pace.

Highly Structured: You can run multiple complex workstreams in parallel, maintaining rigour and high standards without losing sight of the ultimate outcome. Your Profile Experience: 6–10 years in a commercially or operationally focused role, ideally within high-growth e-commerce, marketplaces, or logistics.
