About Us
Olsam is revolutionising the consumer goods industry. We buy category-leading Amazon FBA brands and grow them into something even bigger. With our in-house expertise, we launch these brands onto global marketplaces, develop new products, and create better partnerships.
Built by a team with deep e-commerce and finance experience (Amazon, Deloitte, Rothschild, and more), and backed by some of Europe’s leading entrepreneurs, we hire remarkably driven individuals who thrive on building a company that is disrupting e-commerce. Every Olstar has a high-impact and highly visible part to play in our success story. We work best when we work together. That’s why, we only hire people who share the same ambition and integral sense of community that we have. If this sounds exciting to you, let’s talk.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an ambitious Business Development Executive to scale Olsam’s rapidly expanding e-commerce services business, Starlight. This exciting opportunity is at the core of the growth plans for this new venture, with responsibilities focused on the development of a comprehensive outreach plan and engaging and prospecting potential new client accounts.
