Ready to become part of the most important mission on this planet? We are rebuy, pioneers in the sustainable reuse of electronics and media, and we are looking for you! Our mission: to make circular living accessible to all, one transaction at a time. By giving products a second chance, we reduce resource consumption and avoid unnecessary e-waste.

Our team of 600 comes from all corners of the world; we drive things forward collaboratively, take personal responsibility, value positive critical thinking, and persistently serve our customers and planet.

As a Senior Category Manager for the Media category (Books, Games, Movies, Music) at rebuy, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our Media offerings. This role goes beyond traditional category management; it's about steering the media category towards achieving substantial revenue and profitability goals.

We are currently looking for several Category Managers and welcoming applications from Junior to Senior. Please note that the responsibilities may vary depending on your experience level. The key responsibilities noted here are for the senior position.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive Strategy & Growth: Lead one or two media categories toward ambitious revenue and profitability goals, ensuring alignment with company objectives. You'll have the unique opportunity to work on pricing from both the buy and sell sides, optimizing inventory levels, sales, and margins.

• Master Data & Pricing: Apply your analytical skills to work with large datasets, using tools like Excel and Looker. A passion for data is key here, and if you know SQL and/or Python, that’s a big plus! You’ll be at the forefront of developing pricing strategies that steer both purchase and sales prices.

• Collaborate with Experts: Work closely with our BI and Data Science teams to improve forecasting, pricing mechanisms, and optimize inventory health. You’ll be supported by a team of pricing managers and data scientists to develop innovative solutions.

• Lead Cross-Category Projects: Collaborate across multiple departments, including product, marketing, operations, and data science, to implement new features and boost category performance.

• Experience & Expertise: A minimum of 5 years in Category Management, preferably in e-commerce or retail with a focus on physical goods, ideally in the media category. Familiarity with pricing mechanisms for larger portfolios (>100K products) is highly valued.

• Analytical Mindset: You enjoy diving into data, finding insights, and making decisions based on numbers. Experience with pricing tools and strategies is essential, as pricing is one of the most powerful levers in our business.

• Tech Savvy: Advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets is required, and if you have experience with SQL or Python, it’s a huge advantage.

• Problem Solver: Strong project management skills, with a track record of leading complex projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Language Skills: English is required, and German is a plus, but not mandatory.
