We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.

About this role

Are you a commercially minded relationship builder who thrives in the fast-paced world of e-commerce? As our Marketplace Seller Success Manager, you will own the end-to-end performance lifecycle of Yimbly’s diverse seller base. Your mission is to bridge the gap between seller potential and retail reality, driving incremental revenue while ensuring our marketplace remains a gold standard for quality and compliance.

Reporting directly to the Head of Trading & Products, you will be the central commercial point of contact for our sellers. You’ll act as a strategic partner, translating high-level trading priorities into SKU-level action plans that benefit our customers, our sellers, and the Yimbly brand.

What you’ll do

You’ll be at the heart of our trading operations, balancing strategic growth with operational excellence. Your key responsibilities include:

• Strategic Seller Development: Oversee post-onboarding development by maintaining and reviewing structured Joint Business Plans (JBPs) to drive sustainable growth and tier progression on a monthly basis.
• Retail Media & Commercial Revenue: Drive incremental revenue by identifying, packaging, and monetising seller-facing opportunities across retail media, data, and other commercial initiatives.
• Portfolio & Success Playbook: Develop strategies for channel optimisation and seller retention while continuously refining the seller playbook and training materials to streamline operations.
• Trading Coordination: To ensure high-potential deals are integrated into the master trading calendar, you will supply the Trading team with weekly and monthly seller offers at the SKU level. You will lead seller negotiations to enhance pricing, margin, funding, or exclusivity to ensure deals are commercially viable and competitive.
• B2B Communications: Own and Lead all seller communications regarding seasonal campaigns promotions as well as including service messaging to ensure high engagement and participation in site-wide events.
• Performance & Compliance: Monitor performance to ensure strict compliance with marketplace policies, SLAs, and regulatory standards, including tax and safety.
• Listing Excellence: Collaborate with sellers to optimise product listings for "Retail Readiness," ensuring high-quality images and descriptions in sellership with the Marketplace Admin team.
• Audit & Intervention: Conduct regular reviews to identify underperforming sellers for either structured recovery plans or offboarding.

What you need to succeed

We are looking for a high-energy professional who combines analytical rigour with exceptional communication skills. You will possess a sharp commercial acumen and a proven track record in account management within a multi-seller marketplace or retail environment. You will need to be highly proficient in Google Sheets for complex data manipulation and analysis, as well as Google Slides or PowerPoint for high-stakes stakeholder presentations. It is essential that you have experience identifying revenue-driving opportunities such as Retail Media and a firm grasp of marketplace regulatory standards, including tax, safety, and SLA compliance. Navigating platforms like Mirakl or Shopify should be second nature to you, as should the ability to use performance analytics to diagnose gaps and identify commercial trends. Beyond technical skills, your success depends on exceptional communication for managing B2B relationships and mediating disputes with a professional, camera-on presence. You must be a collaborative worker who thrives at pace, demonstrating the imagination to create new retail opportunities and the determination to hit growth targets while keeping the customer at the heart of every decision. Experience within a large-scale commercial publishing or digital media ecosystem is also highly desirable.
