Job overview:

As the Seller Performance Manager your primary responsibility will be the ongoing development and implementation of the risk strategy as agreed with the Head of Risk and senior leadership team, ensuring that key seller and product risks are identified and controlled effectively.

The overall objective of this role is to support the Head of Risk in managing and mitigating financial, legal and reputation risks (losses) to the company, which will help in enabling the company to maximise revenue through a balanced risk strategy.

The business will be looking to you to monitor seller performance and profitability to ensure issues are identified quickly with proportionate action taken to limit the impact to both the company and our buyers.  This includes proactively preventing rogue sellers from using deceptive techniques or methods; identifying under- sellers and lead the implementation of performance improvement actions; and to develop, optimise and leverage seller performance metrics to drive sales towards the best performing sellers.

  • Continue to push the development of this model and develop scalable BAU processes that ensure proportionate, repeatable actions are taken for each seller risk type, from educational and support options through to seller sanctions, based upon both the scale of the performance issue and the overall recoverability/potential of the seller.
  • Monitor, investigate and manage the action taken on any current or developing seller risk trends across all of OnBuy’s sellers. 
  • Manage the responses from sellers and other messages received into the OnBuy Seller Performance email address.

Trust Pilot

Buyer Risk Mitigation

  • Work alongside the Risk Insight Manager to investigate emerging fraud patterns, especially those that may involve Buyer/Seller Collusion.

Product Compliance & Violations

  • Support the Head of Risk and Risk Operations Manager with direct feedback on any identified product risk issues or trends.  
  • Monitor, investigate and manage the action taken where product related risk trends are identified for a specific seller or group of sellers.

Customer Service Escalations

  • Monitor, analyse and investigate complex Customer Service enquiries that may indicate a wider issue with a buyer or seller.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
