What You'll Solve for

This is your opportunity to shape the next wave of growth across Prosus's European consumer portfolio — from eMAG in Romania to Takealot in South Africa and Izyico in Turkey. As Growth Lead, Europe, you'll identify and unlock value creation opportunities, drive strategic initiatives, and help our ecosystem companies build sustainable competitive advantage. Based in Amsterdam or London, you'll report to the Head of European Ecosystem and partner directly with ecosystem leadership teams to turn data into strategy and strategy into results.

Who You Are

• You're the person who walks into a business review and immediately spots the one number that doesn't add up — and the three levers that could change it.
• You think like an operator and a strategist in equal measure.
• You're as comfortable digging into a P&L as you are mapping a new market entry.
• Ambiguity doesn't paralyse you — it energises you.
• You default to action: you'd rather test a hypothesis and learn fast than wait for perfect information.
• Collaboration is how you work — you know the best insights come from listening to the people closest to the customer.
• You're intellectually curious: the kind of person who asks "why" five times and still wants to know more.

What You'll Bring

• Strategic thinking: ability to connect macroeconomic trends, competitive dynamics, and company-level data into a coherent growth narrative.
• Commercial judgement: instinct for identifying what drives value in a business, backed by financial fluency and analytical rigour.
• M&A and business development experience: track record of sourcing, evaluating, and executing acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic investments.
• Operational execution skills: experience running performance reviews, OKR cycles, and budget delivery across multi-country portfolios.
• Stakeholder management: comfort engaging with C-level portfolio leadership, internal teams, and external advisors with credibility and clarity.
• Communication skills: ability to synthesise complex information into crisp, persuasive recommendations for senior audiences.

Your Typical Day

• Lead monthly operational reviews for 2–3 ecosystem companies — pressure-testing performance data, identifying risks, and surfacing the things that actually matter.
• Partner with the Head of European Ecosystem to shape board materials, investment memos, and strategic recommendations for senior leadership.
• Work directly with portfolio CFOs and COOs to track budgets, uncover growth opportunities, and troubleshoot operational bottlenecks.
• Support M&A pipelines — evaluating potential acquisitions, building financial models, and developing integration theses.
• Drive a strategic initiative end to end, coordinating cross-functional teams and pushing through roadblocks to get to a decision quickly.
