About the Opportunity
This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a seasoned leader to join an established, fast-paced ecommerce business not as a caretaker, but as the successor. With the current CEO preparing for retirement, we are seeking an accomplished and driven General Manager to join the business with a clear mandate: over a 12 to 24-month period, you will transition from General Manager to UK CEO.
You will be stepping into a high-growth environment, taking full ownership of UK operations from day one. This role is designed for a proven leader who can balance the rigour of operational excellence with the vision required to drive a business forward. You will be expected to learn the intricacies of the business quickly, demonstrate your leadership capability, and earn the right to take the helm.
The Role
As General Manager (CEO Designate), you will be based at the head office in Perivale while overseeing a multi-site operation. You will have full Profit & Loss responsibility and will lead all commercial and operational aspects of the UK business. Your mission is to drive growth, optimise costs, and inspire a high-performing team, all while preparing to assume the ultimate leadership position.
