It brings together Asian Art, Tribal and Ethnographic Art, where expertise, provenance and collector trust matter.</p> <p><strong>This is a commercial marketplace leadership role, not a traditional FMCG or buying role.</strong> </p> <p>As Category Manager, you will build and own the category’s end-to-end supply and demand strategy. You will grow high-quality + young collector orientated supply, shape the buyer and auction proposition, own commercial performance and directly lead an international expert team.</p> <h1>What you’ll do</h1> <ul> <li>Build and own the end-to-end marketplace strategy, growing high-quality supply and creating demand from serious buyers and collectors</li> <li>Own the category P&L and use data to make clear decisions on supply, demand, pricing, reserve-price strategy and performance</li> <li>Shape auction and demand planning around seasonality, collector behaviour, market movements and seller portfolios</li> <li>Build long-term relationships with high-quality sellers and serious buyers, working closely with Sales and Business Development</li> <li>Directly manage, coach and develop the expert team, including performance, talent development and succession planning</li> <li>Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Operations, Product and Commercial teams to unlock growth and improve the buyer experience</li> </ul> <h1>What you’ll bring</h1> <ul> <li>Marketplace, e-commerce, category or commercial leadership experience in a similarly complex business</li> <li>A track record of owning growth, budgets or P&L outcomes and turning plans into results</li> <li>A data-driven, action-oriented approach and the confidence to make decisions quickly</li> <li>Proven direct people-management experience, including coaching, performance management, talent development and succession planning</li> <li>Strong influencing and communication skills across teams, stakeholders, sellers and buyers</li> <li>Entrepreneurial energy, resilience and a hands-on approach in a fast-moving environment</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>You do not need to be an Asian & Tribal Art specialist. What matters most is your commercial leadership, ability to build trust and ambition to grow a category with real depth and potential.</p> <h1>What success looks like</h1> <ul> <li>A clear end-to-end marketplace strategy is in motion, with priorities, owners and measurable outcomes</li> <li>A strong pipeline of not only high-quality, repeat sellers and buyers but also spotting new supply opportunities and how to reach a young collector audience</li> <li>More consistent auction quality, commercial discipline and buyer experience</li> <li>An engaged, motivated and self sufficient expert team with a growth mindset, personal development ambitions and commercial mindset</li> </ul><div class="content-conclusion"><div class="text text-align-left "> <h3><strong>Why You'll Love Working with Us</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Create a visible impact </strong>by working at scale in a global organisation serving millions of customers across 80+ categories.
