Job Description
The International eCommerce Third Parties team is recruiting an eCommerce Trading Lead to be at the forefront of our global growth! Based at Head Office in Leicestershire, offering a competitive salary alongside great benefits such as a company bonus, annual pay review & great staff discounts to name a few.
At NEXT, not only are we one of the UK’s largest fashion retailers, but we’re also one of the largest listed companies, full-stop. Selling our products and thousands of world-famous brands, both in-store and online UK and Internationally. What’s more, we’re growing. Fast. And it’s the kind of growth and investment that is exciting for everyone in our business.
The International eCommerce Trading team fuels global growth by managing and optimising online product sales across 72 international markets. They drive exciting product launches, strategic promotions, and collaborate with leading third-party platforms to maximise sales and brand visibility worldwide.
Within this, the Third Parties team help connect NEXT with other large selling platforms such as Zalando and Amazon to sell thousands of products. These platforms delivered strong growth for NEXT last year and to continue to support this growth we need ever improving data points and manipulation.
The role
As an eCommerce Trading Lead, you will be a driving force behind sales and profitability in the Third parties team. Day to day you will be reviewing sales data and analysing it to provide useful insights to drive sales growth and to increase profitability. Reviewing our Third Party platforms such as Amazon to maximise shoppability of customers & increasing conversion and visibility on site.
What else is involved?
We’re looking for a commercially minded and analytical person who can turn data into actionable opportunities, prioritising effectively to drive category growth and resolve platform issues. Proactive and results driven, you'll take ownership of your platform, identifying future opportunities and risks to maximise performance.
Collaboration and communication is key - you'll work closely with external partners to build strong relationships and identify opportunities, while also leveraging internal networks across marketing, trading and finance to shape a long-term vision and hit sales targets.
You’ll have experience in an eCommerce trading-related role, with Amazon trading knowledge as a bonus. This fast-paced role requires someone highly organised, highly analytical, adaptable and self-motivated, with strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Experience within online marketplaces is advantageous but not essential for this role.
You’ll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office. Our offices are inspiring, yes. But we understand that life happens. So, we’re big on making sure your work, works for you which is why we offer flexible working. Bring your energy. Play to your strengths. Make things bigger and better than before. Let’s Take It On.
Benefits
You know Next, but did you know we’re a FTSE-100 retail company employing over 35,000 people across the UK and Ireland. We’re the UK’s 2nd largest fashion retailer and for Kidswear we’re the market leader. At the last count we have over 500 stores, plus the Next Online and it’s now possible to buy on-line from over 70 countries around the world! So we’ve gone global!
