Marketplace Growth Manager (eCommerce Stack)_MPIN

Company Description

Purpose of the role

Bosch Mobility Platform and Solutions (MPS) builds software platforms and digital services for the mobility ecosystem: tolling and traffic, logistics and fleets, commerce and marketplaces, financial services, and the cloud and data platform that runs underneath them. MPS works with partners and customers across India, Europe and North America, and operates like a digital-native business inside Bosch.

The eCommerce Stack of Bosch MPS provides the building blocks for mobility commerce: a composable store and marketplace platform, and a seller portal where suppliers list once and sell across channels. Its first large deployment is a marketplace embedded in a fleet management application, where commercial fleets buy devices, parts and service, FASTag and, over time, other mobility products, through system integrators and directly.

The Marketplace Growth Manager grows these marketplaces. The role owns supply, demand, category expansion, pricing and the health of the marketplace, so that each new seller, category and order makes the next purchase easier and cheaper, and generates the transaction data that makes embedded finance possible.

Job Description

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

What the role owns

Supply acquisition and seller onboarding - Recruit and onboard independent suppliers and brands onto the seller portal and marketplaces. Convert registered sellers into active and paying sellers, and own the seller experience from sign-up to first sale.

Demand activation - Activate fleet buyers through system integrators and direct channels: campaigns, offers and integrator programmes that turn an order pipeline into orders. Track buyer activation and repeat purchase.

Category expansion - Decide which categories to add and in what order, such as devices, parts and service, FASTag, fuel, insurance and tyres. Build the commercial case and the supply for each, and learn from early cohorts.

Pricing, seller plans and take rate  - Own pricing, seller subscription plans and marketplace fees. Balance price competitiveness for buyers with sustainable economics for sellers and for Bosch MPS.

Marketplace health and liquidity  - Own the indicators that show whether the marketplace works: price competitiveness, availability, fill rate, delivery performance, returns and disputes, and repeat rate.

Trust and quality - Define seller verification, catalogue quality standards, review and dispute processes, so that buyers trust what they see and sellers are treated fairly.

Fulfilment and service partners - Work with logistics, inventory, workshop and service partners to make delivery and after-sales dependable, and integrate them into the platform.

Embedded finance and payments - Work with the Embedded Financial Services Product Manager to place credit, wallet and payment options at checkout, and define the consented transaction data the marketplace contributes.

Unit economics and business case - Own the marketplace P&L view: contribution per order, acquisition cost and payback, and the breakeven path. Bring clear options to leadership when economics and growth pull in different directions.

Data and experimentation  - Define the marketplace metrics, set up the dashboards and run experiments on supply onboarding, search, pricing and promotion.

Partner and platform management - Manage relationships with the host platform and integrator network, and build a playbook that lets the marketplace model be replicated with further platform partners.
