Summary

Joybuy POP is JD.com's third-party marketplace business across the UK, Germany, France, and Benelux, live in beta mode since July 2026 and scaling fast. We're now moving from a high-touch launch model into a phase where seller acquisition and account management need to scale efficiently — bringing on sellers faster and managing a growing base without linear headcount growth.

We're looking for a Director to own the full seller lifecycle at scale: acquisition, onboarding, and ongoing account management across all four markets. This is a build role — you'll design the operating model, tooling, and team structure that lets Joybuy POP grow seller count 5-10x without proportional cost growth.

What you'll do

• Own the scaled acquisition strategy — building repeatable, largely self-serve pathways for onboarding long-tail and mid-tier sellers across UK/DE/FR/Benelux, distinct from high-touch strategic seller acquisition
• Redesign the account management model as the seller base scales, segmenting sellers by tier/potential and matching service model (self-serve, pooled, or dedicated AM) accordingly
• Build and lead the scaled AM team, growing it efficiently as the seller base expands, with clear productivity benchmarks per headcount
• Define and track the core acquisition and AM funnel metrics (time-to-first-sale, activation rate, seller GMV retention, AM:seller ratios) and report through WBR/MBR cadences
• Partner with Compliance, Product, and Integrator teams to remove onboarding friction and improve seller time-to-launch
• Own the seller segmentation and prioritization framework — deciding which sellers get white-glove treatment vs. scaled/self-serve support
• Identify and implement tooling/automation to reduce manual AM effort as volume grows
• Represent scaled acquisition and AM in the broader 2027 Scale strategic planning process

What we're looking for

• Experience building or scaling a marketplace seller acquisition or account management function from the ground up, ideally in a 3P/multi-sided marketplace environment
• Track record of designing tiered service/segmentation models that balance growth with cost efficiency
• Strong data orientation — comfortable setting and defending productivity/funnel benchmarks, presenting to senior stakeholders
• Experience managing multi-market teams (UK/DE/FR/Benelux or similar) and navigating market-specific nuances
• Team-building experience — has hired and scaled a function, not just managed an existing one
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, still-forming organization where process is being built as you go
