Job Overview
Pontivia Commerce is a fast-growing, innovative company specialising in marketplace e-commerce across the fashion, lifestyle, and outdoor categories. Originally founded as Sock Snob, our business has evolved into a multi-channel operation, supplying leading UK and European retailers while expanding into international markets.
Alongside our own brands, we are building a platform to help other brands succeed on marketplaces, offering expertise in product feed management, integration, and optimisation.
We are now looking for a Marketplace Technical Integrations Trainee to join our team. This role is designed for someone with strong technical aptitude and problem-solving skills, who wants to build a career in marketplace operations and data integrations. A degree in Computer Science or a related field would be an advantage, but it is not essential.
Training & Development
This role includes a structured 12-month training program designed to:
* Provide a full understanding of our systems, datasets, and workflows.
* Develop practical skills in creating and managing marketplace product feeds (via Channable and other tools).
* Teach how to structure, transform, and enrich product data for international marketplaces.
* Build the capability to troubleshoot, resolve listing errors, and manage product content at scale.
You will receive quarterly reviews during your contract.
* If by the 6th or 9th month review you can demonstrate that you can confidently manage marketplace integrations with little to no support, we may offer a permanent role early to an outstanding candidate.
* Otherwise, if you successfully complete the full program and achieve the expected standard by the 12-month point, you will be strongly considered for a permanent position in the technical team.
Key Roles & Responsibilities
* Collaborate with the Ecommerce team to expand and optimise product listing coverage across UK and European marketplaces.
* Work closely with the content team to ensure essential product information is available and correctly structured for marketplace requirements (including foreign languages, sizes, and colour attributes).
* Develop and manage product data feeds for automation through Channable and similar rule-based software.
* Apply technical expertise to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve listing errors or rejections.
* Support new brand integrations onto our marketplace ecosystem.
* Analyse data to make improvements in product visibility, compliance, and sales performance.
Skills & Qualifications
* An understanding of data mapping and data transformation.
* Proficiency in Excel (advanced formulas and functions).
* Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and apply rules effectively.
* Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
* Problem-solving abilities with a proactive and detail-oriented approach.
* Knowledge of Channable, feed management, or marketplace integrations is highly desirable (but not essential, as full training is provided).
* A degree in Computer Science or a related field is an advantage but not a requirement.
