Category Owner

Short description

As a Category Owner, you will shape the Consumer Electronics market in Poland, co-managing a portfolio of brands in emerging technologies (such as laptops, PCs, or smartphones), as well as Home Electronics and Domestic Appliances (RTV/AGD). We aren’t looking for someone who just manages spreadsheets. We want an open-minded individual who has a perfect pulse on current market trends and intuitively understands why a specific product becomes the hit of the season.

This is a unique opportunity for dynamic, goal-oriented individuals who want to develop their skills under the guidance of experts and take their e-commerce career to the next level.

Your main responsibilities:

• You will be working on the development of selected categories i.e., Audio/Photo or SDA in a dynamic team and cross-functionally (contact with many internal departments within Allegro, from marketing to technology).
• You will be responsible for the development and achievement of results of selected categories.
• You will analyze the assortment and track online/offline trends to identify assortment gaps and category growth opportunities.
• You will take responsibility for monitoring category performance in order to diagnose potential problems and propose solutions.
• You will coordinate, from the category side, sales-supporting campaigns on the platform and co-create the annual event and activations calendar.
• You will be responsible for developing cooperation with key brands to improve their results on Allegro.
• You will lead projects in the business-technology area.

This is the right job for you if:

• We are looking for dynamic, energetic individuals with high business potential. Ideally, you possess initial experience in the industry (e.g., in procurement or category management) or 1-2 years of experience in strategic consulting (in which case, sector expertise is not required). Years of experience are not a prerequisite for us. What matters most is a strong sense of ownership, as well as passion and drive to succeed!

• Have a natural commercial flair, a strong goal-oriented mindset, and a drive to seek out new market opportunities.

• Are genuinely interested in the Consumer Electronics / New Tech industry, with a true passion for tracking technological innovations and market trends.

• Understand e-commerce and the fundamental mechanics of online retail. Previous experience gained working for a manufacturer, distributor, or in retail will be a strong asset.

• Enjoy working with data, can draw insights from numbers, and are fully proficient in tools like Excel and PowerPoint.

• Are highly organized, able to multitask effectively, and consistently meet deadlines.

• Can bridge the gap between technology and business, effortlessly translating technical specifications into sales benefits.

• Possess a minimum B2 level of English, allowing for fluent business communication.

What we offer:

• Flexible working hours in a hybrid model (4/1) - our hours can start between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. We also have 30 days of occasional remote work.
• Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results. 
• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms). 
• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g. medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers). 
• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job. 
• A training budget, inter-team tourism and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings. 
• An additional day off for volunteering, which you can use alone, with a team, or with a larger group of people connected by a common goal. 
• Social events for Allegro people - Spin Kilometers, Family Day, Fat Thursday, and many other occasions we enjoy. 
  
  And that's just the beginning! You can read more about the benefits here.
