Job Description About the role: This is a fixed-term position until approximately 31 August 2027 as a maternity leave replacement, and we believe in being fully transparent about it. As Senior Category Manager for Austria, you will take on the strategic steering of multiple product categories for one of our key international markets, shaping performance, growth and direction on country level while working closely with your team of three Category Managers. You will not be responsible for a single category yourself, but rather for the broader strategic perspective for Austria, ensuring that category initiatives are aligned with country targets and overall commercial priorities. As part of the Country Management Team steering committee, including close collaboration with Country Management, you will contribute to sustainable growth and support key country-level initiatives in a dynamic, fast-moving e-commerce environment. About your tasks: Contribute to the strategic steering of multiple categories in Austria, translating overarching company and country targets into concrete category initiatives and initiating corrective actions when performance deviates from plan. Collaborate closely with Controlling, Country Management and the broader Country Management Team on annual planning and forecasting processes, providing category expertise, market insights and data-driven recommendations to support sound financial planning. Drive the continuous optimization of assortment strategy and onboarding roadmap, including bundles and sets, to increase average order value and contribution margin while ensuring strong market coverage. Act as a strategic interface for cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. Pricing, Procurement, CRO, Marketplace, CRM, Country Management), ensuring aligned execution and contributing to specific country-related projects. Lead a small team of three Category Managers, enabling them to grow in their roles while fostering efficient processes and scalable ways of working. Qualifications About you: You bring solid experience in Category Management within e-commerce or online-driven business models (e.g. marketplace, food delivery, online retail), ideally with exposure to country-level steering and cross-functional collaboration. You have hands-on experience with forecasting, margin management and performance steering, and understand how category decisions translate into P&L impact. You are comfortable operating in steering committees or comparable governance formats and enjoy contributing to broader commercial discussions. You are able to zoom out and manage complexity, deriving strategic priorities from data, market trends and business targets – and you don’t like having your coffee alone. Additional Information About your benefits: In order to provide you with the best possible support for your individual needs - whether it‘s living a healthy life, having enough time for your family, or developing your skills - we offer a wide range of different, site-specific benefits. Remote space: For our remote working employees we grant you 500,00 € to set up your office space from home. To create an environment for you and how you work best. Anchor days: As per your remote contract there will be some occasions to travel to office for anchor days, this is fully reimbursed including any travelling costs or hotel expenses. Sports: Stay healthy. Profit from a membership (M) package at Urban Sports Club, so that you can take advantage of a huge variety of sport offers. Personal development: Grow! We support and encourage your individual development through various in- and external trainings. Vacation: 30 days paid vacation per annum and the option to take unpaid vacation of up to 10 days to those who have been employed with us for more than one year. #growwithus Remote Type: Category Management
