About the job

Category Manager – Trading Cards

Trading Cards isn’t just a category. It’s a global collector economy powered by hype, scarcity, nostalgia, and community obsession. Pokémon drops. Graded grails. Sports legends. Rare exclusives.

We’re looking for a commercially sharp, high-energy Category Manager who understands consumer goods markets and knows how to scale fast-growing businesses. Someone who brings structure to fast growth, builds strong teams, and turns momentum into revenue.

You won’t just “manage” this category. You’ll build, scale and own it.

What You’ll Own

  • Define and execute the growth strategy for Trading Cards
  • Own the P&L and drive revenue and margin with clear commercial decisions
  • Turn data into action across pricing, supply, marketing, and performance
  • Anticipate hype cycles, demand shifts, and market trends before they peak
  • Build structure in a fast-scaling environment
  • Lead and develop a high-performing team of Trading Card Experts
  • Create clarity, accountability, and ambition within your team
  • Strengthen and scale the seller pipeline with Sales
  • Build relationships with top sellers and high-intent buyers
  • Test fast, learn fast, scale what works

What You Bring

  • Experience in consumer goods markets with a strong grasp of market dynamics
  • Proven experience managing and developing direct reports
  • Relentless commercial drive and entrepreneurial energy
  • The ability to create structure while scaling fast
  • Confidence influencing cross-functional stakeholders
  • Strong analytical instincts — you make decisions backed by data
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
  • Curiosity for trading cards or collector culture is a plus

Why This Role

This is a category with massive growth potential and a global, passionate community. You’ll get real ownership, real impact, and the freedom to experiment.

If you’re energized by building teams, scaling markets, and turning consumer trends into commercial success this is your category.
