The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead a new marketplace business line from zero, owning its commercial strategy, partner relationships and revenue model. The role blends product and operations thinking with hands-on deal-making, and calls for a self-directed operator who is comfortable running a P&L and travelling frequently.
What you'll do
- Launch and grow a new marketplace from scratch, including solving early supply and demand challenges.
- Build and manage partner relationships, from small local providers to large national retailers, favoring depth over breadth.
- Shape how offerings are presented in the app to influence customer purchase decisions.
- Design commission and take-rate structures with partners to develop a revenue line.
- Run your own experiments to test ideas and improve conversion and commercial terms.
- Travel frequently to meet partners and build local presence.
What we're looking for
- Experience running a new business line or market launch from zero, with comfort owning a P&L and working with the numbers.
- Strong instincts for early-stage marketplace growth and distribution to small businesses.
- Confident, personable communication style with external partners.
- A blend of product and operations thinking, including in-app conversion and commercial terms.
- A track record of self-initiated experiments and projects, rather than only assigned work.
- High energy, autonomy and a strong sense of ownership.
- Comfort with AI tools as a way to work faster.
- 1 to 6 years of relevant experience.
