Senior eCommerce Trading Manager, Digital Trading and Creative
by Alshaya Group in Retail
Alshaya's online brands each have their own forecasts and plans, and this Senior eCommerce Trading Manager keeps a single, fact-based view of how they are all performing. Reporting to the Head of Online Performance, you take part in weekly trading meetings, co-chair monthly forecasting sessions and lead the narrative for core-brand reviews and quarterly business reviews. Sales, traffic, conversion, average order value, margin and sell-through are tracked against plan, forecast and prior year. Explaining the numbers means connecting marketing demand, stock availability, pricing, promotions, onsite experience and fulfilment to what actually happened. Brand and central teams get constructive challenge when forecasts or recovery plans look short, with actions and owners tracked to outcome. Senior leadership receives weekly, monthly and quarterly reports with a clear story on performance, outlook, risks and asks. Trading calendars, campaigns and inventory readiness are aligned with brands, and teams across Marketing, SEO, Technology, Finance, Supply Chain and Merchandising work closely with you. Alshaya asks for at least 5 years in eCommerce trading, digital performance or commercial planning, with experience owning forecasts and business reviews in a complex retail setting. Expertise in tools such as Google Analytics, Content Square and Clarity is expected, and fashion, beauty, MENA and multi-brand franchise experience are preferred.
