What you will be accountable for:
* Delivering Growth: Own and deliver the annual sales and profit plan across Amazon UK, DE and FR.
* Full P&L Ownership: Absolute accountability for revenue, margin and profitability across UK & Europe.
* Leading the Amazon Relationship: Own senior vendor relationships, negotiations and annual terms - no escalation safety net.

* Commercial Control: Lead pricing, promotions and trade decisions in partnership with Finance and Brand teams.
* Conversion Obsession: Direct content and keyword strategy to drive conversion through constant testing and optimisation.
* Data-First Decision Making: Own performance dashboards and analysis, turning insight into action at pace.

What It Takes to Succeed
* 7+ years leading a large-scale 1P Amazon business

This is a role with real ownership, a true business leadership position rather than account management.

With high exposure to global leadership, you will directly influence growth strategy across the UK and Europe, in a role where delivery is recognised and rewarded.
If you’re looking for a safe role, this isn’t it. If you want ownership, accountability and the opportunity to prove what you can really deliver on Amazon, we want to hear from you.
