• Collaborate closely with seller-facing teams and cross-functional partners (product, marketing, finance) to advance progress and eliminate obstacles

What You Will Bring

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in business or a related field, with 3+ years of work experience; prior experience in strategy consulting strongly preferred, e-commerce experience is a plus
