New Business Lead / Account Manager - Marketplace
We're working with one of the UK's fastest-growing retailers to find a New Business Lead to drive seller acquisition for their expanding Marketplace.
This is a pivotal role for someone who is switched on and able to support the full sales cycle - from spotting the right sellers to getting them live and trading. You'll also pick up line management, so there's real scope for progression.
The Role
- You'll identify and recruit new sellers across priority categories, building a pipeline that supports the Marketplace's growth strategy.
- Sourcing and pitching to prospective sellers, managing everything from lead generation through to contract closure.
- Running seller vetting and compliance checks, working closely with the Marketplace Manager on target categories.
- Supporting sellers through onboarding and their first 4-6 months, before handing over to the long term Account Management team.
- Representing the business at trade shows and webinars to build the seller pipeline.
- Tracking KPIs and producing reports on acquisition, seller performance and revenue growth.
- Managing enquiries via Zendesk and collaborating with marketing on seller acquisition campaigns.
- Leading and developing a small team, embedding strong processes for onboarding as the Marketplace evolves.
