We're looking for a proactive, commercially minded and outcomes-driven individual to help shape and grow our Marketplace offering. While direct Marketplace experience isn’t essential, a genuine interest in online retail, strong commercial instincts and a drive to uncover growth opportunities will set you up for success.
This role is perfect for someone who has already gained exposure to category or account management and is ready to take on greater ownership. You’ll be managing a seller portfolio, driving performance, partnering with local and international sellers, and supporting the growth of one of Australia’s leading eCommerce platforms.
Reporting to the Director - Marketplace, this position suits an ambitious and commercially focused Category/Marketplace professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is excited to contribute to the continued expansion of our Marketplace business.
If you're an Assistant Buyer, Category Assistant, Marketplace Coordinator or Junior Category Manager looking for your next step, this is a fantastic opportunity to build marketplace expertise within an ASX-listed business and make a real impact on what millions of customers see and shop every day!
In this role you'll be responsible for:
- Own the Marketplace promotional calendar: planning, coordination and making sure everything goes live on time.
- Set up, schedule and QA campaigns and promotions so they’re accurate and delivered on time.
- Run our biggest sale events, including Click Frenzy, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day and EOFY, plus ad-hoc events.
- Work with our central Marketing team on creative, EDM and onsite placements, and coordinate seller participation in marketing opportunities.
- Report on promotion performance and lead post-event reviews so each campaign beats the last.
- Manage promotional pricing and discount uploads for the Category Managers.
- Audit the catalogue (titles, images, categorisation and Kogan First) and audit sellers to spot underperformers and fast growers.
- Advise Category Managers on demand, supply and the marketability of products.
- Find and implement process improvements across Kogan Marketplace.
To be successful in this role, you should be:
- University Degree qualified in a relevant field (Business, Commerce, Marketing etc)

- Highly analytical and logical, and always looking for new areas of opportunity
