As Retail Vendor Manager III, you'll own one of the largest vendor portfolios on the ES Books team and directly shape what millions of readers can discover.
This is a high-ownership commercial role with real P&L; impact.
You'll be the primary owner for a set of strategic publishers, distributors, and trade partners, leading annual negotiations, driving the joint business agenda, and growing selection, availability, and profitability across print and digital.
Own the end-to-end commercial relationship for a portfolio of strategic publishers, trade distributors, and trade publishers representing a substantial share of ES Books revenue across print and digital.
Propose annual and quarterly plans for your assigned portfolio, track implementation and vigente performance against targets, and drive corrective actions where needed.
Lead annual vendor negotiations (terms, funding, co-op) and manage the Joint Business Plan (JBP) cadence with your largest strategic publisher partner under a joint print + digital model.
In coordination with the team's In-Stock Managers, contribute to purchasing plans, track purchase volumes in line with sales growth, and monitor inventory health across stock levels and turns.
Act as the team subject matter expert (SME) for Print on Demand (POD), including scaling POD for exports, and represent POD topics in cross-EU forums.
Collaborate cross-functionally with the support functions that drive the business (finance, accounting, logistics, legal), continuously optimising processes to structurally improve performance.
You'll spend your time steering a portfolio of publishers and distributors: reviewing how sales and stock are tracking, spotting what needs a nudge,



and planning the next move with your partners.
Some mornings you're deep in a negotiation or shaping a joint business plan; others you're clearing a catalogue issue with in-stock, finance, or legal.
