7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building & Scaling a Business Unit

You'll spend your days defining strategic priorities, making significant investment decisions, and overseeing the execution of large-scale initiatives designed to grow our digital commerce footprint by millions. This means constantly looking for new channels, optimising existing ones, and building the teams and tech to support that growth.

Leading the expansion into a new international marketplace, building out the local team and infrastructure, and seeing it contribute £5M+ in revenue within 18 months.

Driving Transformation & Innovation

You'll be at the forefront of adopting new technologies (like advanced AI for market prediction), exploring new business models (e.g., subscription services), and challenging the status quo. This isn't about incremental improvements; it's about fundamentally changing how we operate and compete online.

Implementing a new enterprise-wide PIM system that streamlines product data management across all channels, reducing manual effort by 30% and improving data accuracy.

Leading & Developing High-Performing Teams

A significant part of your role will be about coaching, mentoring, and empowering your leadership team and their reports. You'll be responsible for creating a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous learning, ensuring we attract and retain the best talent in digital commerce.

Developing a clear career progression framework for your team, resulting in 3 internal promotions to Lead Strategist roles within a year.

What frustrates people
  • Navigating internal politics and getting buy-in from other departments who have competing priorities or don't fully grasp the complexities of digital commerce.
  • The constant pressure to deliver aggressive growth targets while managing significant budget constraints and unexpected market shifts.
  • Dealing with the inevitable failures of large-scale projects or strategic bets, and having to pivot quickly under pressure.
  • The sheer volume of information and data you need to synthesise to make informed decisions, often from disparate and imperfect sources.
  • Recruiting and retaining top talent in a highly competitive market, especially for niche digital commerce skills.
What this role does not give you
  • Daily hands-on campaign management or content creation – your focus is strategic oversight and team empowerment.
  • A predictable, stable environment – expect constant change, new challenges, and the need for rapid adaptation.
  • Complete autonomy without accountability – you'll have significant authority, but every major decision will be scrutinised at the highest levels.
  • An easy ride – this is a demanding role that requires significant commitment and strategic horsepower.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the business unit's revenue and profitability, influencing market share and brand perception across all digital channels. You'll be driving significant transformation, making decisions that affect millions in revenue and hundreds of employees. Your strategic choices will determine our competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving digital commerce landscape.

Inside the business
  • C-Suite (CEO, CFO, CMO, COO)
  • Product Development Leadership
  • Supply Chain & Operations Directors
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Brand Marketing Directors

Outside the business
  • Major Marketplace Account Managers (Amazon, eBay, Walmart Connect)
  • Retail Media Platform Partners
  • Key Technology Vendors (PIM, ERP, Analytics)
  • Industry Bodies & Associations

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record of managing a significant P&L (£2M+) within an eCommerce or digital marketing context, demonstrating consistent growth and profitability.
  • Extensive experience (10+ years) leading and developing large teams (20+ people) in a fast-paced, complex digital environment.
  • Demonstrable experience in defining and executing multi-year digital commerce strategies that have delivered measurable business impact.
  • Deep understanding of the global marketplace ecosystem, including direct experience with major platforms like Amazon, eBay, or similar regional leaders.
  • Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to build compelling business cases and influence C-suite level stakeholders.
  • A Master's degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field, or equivalent extensive practical experience in a leadership role.

Advanced Retail Media Programmatic & DSP Management

Retail media is becoming increasingly sophisticated, moving beyond basic sponsored ads to complex programmatic buying through Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs). Directors need to understand how to leverage these advanced tools to build highly targeted, full-funnel campaigns that drive incremental revenue and brand equity.

DSP Capabilities & Use Cases · First-Party Data Activation · Cross-Channel Attribution & Measurement · Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs)

  • This quarter: Attend a specialist workshop or executive briefing on advanced retail media and programmatic advertising.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As a Director, your time is gold. You're not just executing; you're strategising, leading, and making high-stakes decisions. The good news? AI isn't just for junior analysts anymore. It's a powerful co-pilot that can free you from the strategic grunt work, giving you back precious hours to focus on what truly matters: vision, growth, and market leadership.

In digital commerce, staying ahead means constantly processing vast amounts of data, predicting market shifts, and optimising complex operations. AI tools, when used strategically, can automate the synthesis of this information, provide deeper insights, and even draft strategic documents, allowing you to move faster and with greater confidence. This isn't about replacing your judgment; it's about augmenting it.

Strategic Market Prediction & Scenario Planning

Use advanced AI models to analyse macro-economic trends, competitor moves, and historical sales data to forecast market shifts and model various strategic scenarios (e.g., 'What if we enter X market?', 'What if competitor Y drops prices by 10%?'). This moves beyond simple forecasting to proactive strategic planning.

Executive Summary & Board Report Generation

Feed raw performance data, team reports, and market intelligence into an AI. It can then draft concise executive summaries, highlight key insights, and even generate initial slides for board presentations, saving you hours of synthesis and formatting time. You'll still refine it, of course, but the heavy lifting is done.

AI-Assisted Vision & Strategy Documentation

When defining the next 3-year digital commerce strategy, use generative AI to help structure your thoughts, flesh out initial drafts of strategic pillars, and articulate your vision. It can help you quickly iterate on different approaches and ensure comprehensive coverage, acting as a powerful brainstorming partner.

Automated Competitive Landscape Analysis

Deploy AI to continuously monitor the entire competitive landscape across all marketplaces and D2C sites. It can identify emerging threats, pricing shifts, new product launches, and even subtle changes in competitor messaging, providing you with real-time, actionable intelligence for strategic pivots.
