Head of Marketplaces

As Teamlead Marketplaces, you're that person. You build something new, put the commercial relationships with the platforms on the map, and make sure Bertus operates professionally and independently across the different channels. You work closely with the head of sales, purchasing and the managing director. You get plenty of room to professionalise and make an impact in a new role within the company.

This is a role for someone who likes to roll up their sleeves and wants to help us build an organisation for the future.

Profile

Who you are and what you bring

You have experience with marketplaces and know how to get the best commercial results out of them. You're not afraid to build and lead a team, and you enjoy working in an environment where music and business come together. You're also familiar with the challenges of the different platforms, such as Amazon.

Furthermore:

• You have at least 8 years of experience in e-commerce or marketplace management.

• You've worked with Amazon Vendor (1P) and know how to maintain that relationship well. This is a must.

• You know Amazon Seller Central and have experience with platforms such as Bol.com, among others.

• You have a good commercial instinct: negotiating, making agreements and collaborating with label partners.

• You have experience with stakeholder management at different levels

• You understand the financial side of the job and know what margin management means in practice.

• You've previously led or built a small team.

• You speak and write fluent Dutch and English. German is a plus.

Activities

What you'll be doing

You're ultimately responsible for all of Bertus's marketplace activities: from strategy to day-to-day operations. 1P, 2P and 3P hold no secrets for you. Over time, you'll lead a small team while remaining commercially active yourself.

Strategy and commerce:

• You determine which platforms Bertus should be active on and how those channels are set up and grown.

• You maintain the relationships with Amazon and other major platforms and advise on commercial agreements with our suppliers.

• You make sure marketing and promotion budgets are deployed in a way that benefits Bertus without eating into our own margin.

• You're responsible for results (P&L)

Team and operations:

• You lead an existing junior specialist who manages the day-to-day operations of a number of channels. You provide direction and structure.

• You gradually expand the team with an operations specialist and a finance colleague.

• You safeguard the quality of execution: orders, inventory management, pricing accuracy and customer satisfaction on the platforms.

What we offer you

Besides a workplace where music and business come together, you can count on:

• A competitive salary matching a role with full end responsibility.

• A fixed 13th month.

• 25 vacation days (based on 40 hours) and 8% holiday allowance.

• Options to work from home, travel expense reimbursement and a good pension scheme.

• Discount on a sports subscription via Bedrijfsfitness Nederland and participation in the bike plan.

• A My Bertus account that lets you buy vinyl and CDs with staff discount.

• The prospect of a permanent contract.

• A chance to make an impact within the music industry

• An informal organisation with colleagues who share a passion for music.

About Bertus

Bertus started in 1971 as a record shop and grew into an international player in the distribution of vinyl and CDs. We work with major and independent labels worldwide and serve virtually every genre: from metal and EDM to jazz and K-pop.

Together with Record Industry, V2 Records and other companies within the Artone Holding, we form a unique ecosystem within the music industry: from creation and production to distribution and sales.

At Bertus, the passion for music runs deep in many of our colleagues' DNA. You'll notice it the moment you walk through the door.
