About the Opportunity

We’re hiring an experienced, hands-on individual to support regional execution of and feedback into global program plans. This role is the single-market lead who will coordinate shipping, marketing, regulatory/compliance, and other domain alignment in the Australian market for key programs, driving these with the global cross-functional teams while representing the Australian customer. They will then translate the central go-to-market (GTM) playbook into locally-relevant execution, drive cross-functional execution with commercial and back-office teams, and act as the day-to-day lead for AU market priorities and blockers.

Key responsibilities

• Local GTM execution & adaptation
• Translate and operationalise central GTM playbooks for Australia; adapt customer propositions, channel plans, and launch checklists to local market dynamics.
• Build and maintain an AU GTM delivery plan with clear owners, milestones and success metrics.
• Shipping & logistics leadership
• Own program shipping and fulfilment operational readiness for AU: partner with ops, carriers and 3PLs to ensure reliable SLAs, fulfilment cost control, and clear customer communications.
• Drive solutions for returns, last-mile exceptions, and cross-border shipping considerations relevant to AU consumers and sellers.
• Marketing & demand generation
• Coordinate local marketing execution (performance, CRM, partnerships, marketplace promotions) to meet acquisition and revenue targets.
• Localise creative and messaging; manage campaign prioritisation and measurement with central and local marketing teams.

• Compliance & regulatory coordination
• Ensure commercial activities and operational flows adhere to Australian regulatory requirements (consumer protection, tax/GST implications, product regulation), working closely with Legal & Compliance.
• Maintain audit-ready documentation for market launches and support compliance reviews.
• Integration & program delivery
• Act as the AU POC for integration milestones, escalate blockers, and provide weekly status updates to internal stakeholders.
• Maintain business requirements documents (BRDs), execution trackers, risk logs and playbooks for AU; ensure documentation is kept as the single source of truth for local activities.
• Stakeholder & vendor management
• Manage relationships with key external partners (carriers, marketing agencies, payment providers) and internal cross-functional stakeholders to unblock delivery and optimise costs.
• Negotiate SLAs and monitor vendor performance against KPIs.

Required experience & skills

• 6+ years experience in commercial operations, program management, or GTM roles with P&L/market launch exposure (experience in marketplaces, e-commerce or retail strongly preferred)

• Knowledge of the Australian consumer/regulatory environment and ability to work with Legal/Compliance to operationalise controls
• Excellent cross-functional program and stakeholder management skills; able to coordinate technical, operational and commercial teams
