About the Role

This is a hybrid role located in Angel, London (Monday-Thursday in-office, Friday remote)

We’re seeking a highly analytical, passionate, and self-motivated individual to join our Category Management team. Category Management is the organisation within Wayfair that drives the overall strategy for the multitude of product categories that are offered across our channels of business. The team serves as the external and internal ambassadors of the product categories we manage, mobilising and coaching suppliers on how to grow their business on our sites, and leveraging internal partners to execute the strategic vision to win in the online home space.

In this role, you will shape the strategy for Poland based suppliers and drive execution through supplier partners and internal teams. You will be responsible for growing sales while improving profitability, as well as identifying new business opportunities informed by market research and our wealth of browsing and purchasing data. You will identify and pitch to new suppliers, drive process improvement with our key active suppliers, negotiate pricing and inventory, and drive adoption of Wayfair programs to accelerate sales. We welcome applications from high calibre professionals who are seeking to leverage their analytical skills and partner with diverse stakeholders to solve problems, identify opportunities, and drive business impact.

Who We Are

The Category Management team offers a unique opportunity to drive strategy for Wayfair’s largest product categories through tight internal and external partnership. We serve as ambassadors of the product categories we manage. We are at the forefront as Wayfair redefines the supplier experience as a platform, giving suppliers more data, more transparency, and more control while retaining the high-touch elements that make working with Wayfair exceptional. Internally, we leverage a diverse set of cross-functional partners to execute our strategic vision. As a Manager on the CM team, you will be expected to define overarching goals and strategy within your category, problem-solve, articulate and execute against tactical plans, and manage key business metrics. Members of the team must be able to expertly negotiate internally and externally, while also being effective project managers.

How is this opportunity unique?

The Category Management team interacts with our suppliers every day. We like candidates with consultative mindsets who want to work with external partners. Collaborative partnerships are a hallmark of a relationship with Wayfair.

Wayfair is a data-driven environment. Candidates with experience using data to drive decision-making are great matches.

We move fast and take risks. If you have experience at a start-up or in another fast-paced, risk-taking environment, you’d enjoy working at Wayfair. Be prepared to constantly evolve.

Strong communication is key. Category Managers have a 360° view into their suppliers and their category. You’ll need to be able to gain buy-in from senior leaders and cross-functional teams to accomplish your goals.

We like to have fun. Our team takes time each month to celebrate our wins and toast our accomplishments. We foster an environment that values balance, and we encourage personal development by offering a broad spectrum of opportunities for continuous development and mentorship.

What You'll Do

Have ownership over a country plan for Poland to achieve revenue and profitability goals

Identify sales, merchandising, and operational opportunities for the category and collaborate with internal teams to drive change (Planning, Advertising, Merchandising, Operations, PR, Finance, Customer Service, Business Intelligence)
Conduct regular competitor benchmarking for marketing, selection, and pricing strategy
Attend tradeshows to visit key suppliers (4-6 times per year)
Manage a team of ~2-3 category associates, supporting their professional development and guiding them to achieve business targets

What You'll Need

Proven experience in ecommerce, corporate retail, or management consulting experience, preferred
Articulate and persuasive communication skills, both written and verbal
Fluency in Polish and English is essential for this role
A track record of successful negotiation and relationship management skills; comfortable speaking directly with C-suite level supplier executives at large companies
An ability to hit the ground running – a confident, entrepreneurial self-starter
An ability to set business targets, develop execution plans, delegate tasks, and share progress
Innovative problem-solving and analytical skills; can dissect and determine root causes of problems and implement solutions
Proven experience of taking on big challenges and delivering results despite obstacles and limited resources
Ability to multi-task, support team prioritization, and excel in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Experience managing others
