Delivering Finalist & Newly Qualified Finance Hires That Stick | Founder at Found-U
Head of Category – eTrading (c. £50–60k)
This is a rare chance to shape the full category strategy for a high-growth online trading division selling across Amazon UK & EU, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, eBay and several B2C websites.
I’m supporting a fast-paced, entrepreneurial retailer that wants someone who can spot products before they trend, think creatively, and build ranges that drive commercial impact. They do not want a corporate “head of” who delegates everything. They want someone who’s hands‑on, commercially sharp, and excited by growth.
The role
* Build category strategies across seasonal, core and trend‑led products
* Use marketplace and social data to identify high‑potential lines
* Shape the product and promotional calendar across all channels
* Work closely with the Buying Team on briefs, cost targets and supplier selection
* Support the launch of ranges across Amazon UK/EU and social commerce
* Own category P&L, profitability and performance reporting
The ideal person
* Strong category, trading or buying experience in eCommerce
* Comfortable working across Amazon, social commerce and multi‑channel environments
* Analytical, curious, commercially driven
* Able to work at pace, think creatively and get hands‑on
* Someone who enjoys spotting trends, testing ideas and moving fast
Salary & setup
* Hybrid with time in the Normanton office (2–3 days a week depending on location)
* Real progression potential as the division scales
Location: Leeds, England, United Kingdom
If you enjoy building something rather than inheriting it, and you want freedom to drive product strategy across multiple platforms, send me a message and I’ll walk you through the full brief.
