Job Description

Own and drive profitable trading performance across an assigned market or portfolio of markets.

This is not a reporting role. You will use data, commercial judgement and AI-enabled tools to identify opportunities, make clear recommendations and mobilise cross-functional teams around the actions that matter most.

The Details

• Own performance across revenue, traffic, conversion, margin, discount investment, customer behaviour and proposition KPIs.
• Diagnose performance drivers and translate insight into clear, prioritised commercial actions.
• Lead market forecasting, scenario planning and performance reviews, clearly articulating risks, opportunities and trade-offs.
• Use AI, automation and self-service analytics to accelerate decision-making and remove low-value manual reporting.
• Shape market strategies and test-and-learn plans across product, pricing, promotion, marketing and customer experience.
• Partner with Digital Trading, Pricing, Planning, Marketing, Finance, Product and Technology to deliver agreed outcomes.
• Evaluate campaign and promotional effectiveness, with a focus on profitable growth and reducing reliance on broad discounting.
• Maintain a strong view of customer, competitor and market trends, identifying implications for trade.
• Track actions through to delivery, with clear owners, measures and expected commercial impact.
• Support strong P&L management across revenue, margin and investment lines.

We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why our approach to working together includes spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It’s a rhythm that speeds up decision-making, helps ASOSers learn from each other more quickly, and builds the kind of culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.
