Global Head of Marketplaces

Alpine is a fast-moving D2C brand – We build, we don't play it safe.. For years, we've been carving out a global position on marketplaces, turning Amazon and bol into high-performing, 8-digit revenue channels. We work directly with platform teams, move fast when we spot opportunities, and hold ourselves to a standard that most companies only talk about in slides.

Now we're looking for the person who will own it all.

• Take full P&L responsibility for our global marketplace business, focusing on revenue, profit and market share.

• Shape and own the growth strategy and execution roadmap across all marketplaces worldwide: the global marketplaces plan as well as all individual market plans.

• Lead, build, and inspire the marketplace team of 7 people, and build a team culture defined by energy, ownership and accountability.

• Execute the annual marketplace strategy across all markets (Amazon, bol, Tik Tok Shop, and beyond), translating it into concrete trading plans per quarter and month, built around tent-pole events (Prime Days, BFCM), seasonality and category opportunities.

• Monitor and steer business performance per market and category — and when something's underperforming, you don't wait. You act.

• Drive the Integrated Business Planning process: optimize the triangle Sales, Growth Marketing, and Operations.

• Steer demand planning and volume forecasting in lockstep with Operations, so we're always in stock and never sitting on dead inventory.

• Let the revenue line grow to over 9 figures — because you built the plan.

• Turn marketplace chaos into a machine fueled by AI: predictable, scalable, best-in-class. No repetitive work, only automations.

• Be the person who connects the dots between commercial ambition and operational reality.

• Work at one of Amazon's top sellers based in the Netherlands and help us to build out our success story on marketplaces worldwide.

You come to this role through one of two paths:

• 5+ years as a Head of Marketplaces or similar, with deep mastery of Amazon end-to-end

• A track record with a strong spike in advertising and content

• Experience as a digital commerce lead at an FMCG company (think Unilever, P&G, Nestlé, L'Oréal, Kraft Heinz, Reckitt or similar) or a sizeable consumer brand

• You know what rigorous commercial planning looks like and want to apply that sharpness in a setting with real autonomy

(Limited hands-on Amazon experience is fine — we'll provide expert coaching to get you there)

• You can go deep and love diving into the details AND you can operate at strategic level.

• You're a commercially sharp, result focussed, data-driven operator who can zoom out to set strategy and zoom in to unblock execution.

• You understand the language of marketplaces: trading calendars, in-stock rates, contribution margin, Account Health Rating, forecasting — this is your daily vocabulary.

• You thrive at the intersection of multiple functions — you bring people along without needing the authority to command them.

• You make fast, high-quality decisions under ambiguity. You don't need perfect information to act.

• Excellent command of English (written and verbal). Dutch is a plus but not required.

You'll join a lean, ambitious team that moves fast and takes marketplace commerce seriously. No endless approval layers. No death-by-PowerPoint. Just a focused group of people building something global from Utrecht.

• A competitive salary, with a range of € 80.000 to € 125.000 on a yearly basis (FT, including performance-based bonus and holiday pay). This range reflects…
