About The Position

Own Korean marketplace operations and help drive e-commerce growth across APAC. This isn’t a lateral move. We built Loop by going all in from day one. You’ll own our Korean marketplace presence across platforms including Naver Smart Store, Coupang, and Kakao, turning commercial opportunities into measurable growth through smart execution, continuous optimisation, and decisive action. From merchandising and campaign execution to marketplace optimisation and performance analysis, your work will directly shape how we grow in one of Asia’s most dynamic e-commerce markets. If you’ve mastered Korean marketplace operations and you’re ready to challenge the rules that no longer work, this is where you do it. The role You step into ownership. You move fast and take responsibility for what you build. You focus on work that matters, not the noise that slows things down. Working closely with our global marketplace team, Korea go-to-market lead, marketplace agencies, account managers, and logistics partners, you’ll turn strategy into execution. You’ll make informed decisions, adapt as priorities evolve, and keep commercial outcomes front and centre.
