About the company

Our client is a fast-growing financial technology company.

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.

- A blend of product and operations thinking, including in-app conversion and commercial terms.
