Head of Category Management (Recommerce)

* Humble adaptability: You are comfortable inheriting a function that is already in motion: two strong CMs in place, internal knowledge running deep, and a CCO with a clear commercial vision.


* Executive communication: The strategic confidence to operate as a genuine peer to established function heads. You have a track record of leading through influence and relationship-building rather than authority.


* Market intelligence: You actively track competitor category strategy, assortment, and pricing, and translate that intelligence into category positioning decisions.


* Bonus points: Experience in consumer electronics is an advantage, and experience in recommerce or refurbished goods is a strong advantage.






WHY JOIN SWAPPIE?
* Massive business impact: You will define how category management operates at Swappie and act as the organizing logic for the entire company's sourcing and pricing priorities.


* A mission that matters: Every device we forecast, allocate, and sell is a step toward reducing global e-waste. Your work will directly contribute to making the circular economy mainstream.


* Where profit meets purpose: Yes, we are saving the planet one device at a time. We are also proving every day that sustainability and high-growth commerce go hand-in-hand.


* The team: You will work alongside highly ambitious, smart, and deeply supportive team members who embody our culture of impact orientation, growth mindset, and inclusive leadership.
