About NADUVI

NADUVI is an online Home & Living platform that helps interior enthusiasts discover inspiring furniture and decorative products for in and around their homes, always at a discount. Its offerings include about fifty thousand different items available to consumers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. NADUVI has partnered with over three hundred carefully selected premium brands, distributors, and manufacturers – a mix of international powerhouses and local Dutch heroes – such as Zuiver, Dutchbone, Rivièra Maison, Goossens, and Riverdale. 

NADUVI’s innovative platform offers its partners a direct channel towards consumers. It enables them to put the spotlights on off-price merchandise and give high-quality interior products a second chance to be sold. A great solution for all parties involved. It lets consumers enjoy beautiful products against high discounts and provides manufacturers with a way to tackle redundant stock, reducing write-offs and waste. 

“We want to continue our growth: offer consumers an even better experience, grow our team, and partner with more premium interior brands. Our ultimate goal? Be the number one in Europe.” – Itai Gross, Founder & CEO

Over the past years, NADUVI’s performance has been astounding. The company successfully completed a funding round, won numerous awards (e.g., ‘Best Starter’ and ‘Webshop of the Year’), went international, and saw the volume of orders grow considerably. The company is rapidly progressing from start-up to scale-up to solid e-commerce business. With a growing team of over a hundred ambitious young talents and a seasoned management team, NADUVI is well-positioned to deliver on its promise of becoming Europe’s most significant Home & Living outlet and launching exciting new propositions alongside it.

Vacancy: Head of Business Development (Operations)

The Head of Business Development will be critical to enabling NADUVI’s rapid expansion going forward. They will take the lead on the most important operational projects, working closely with the COO and the business. A challenging role, given the company’s ambitions and the fact that operations and logistics take a central position in the business model.

A key responsibility for the Head of Business Development will be to develop the entire ecosystem that enables NADUVI’s partners to sell directly to consumers through the platform. This includes setting up a European logistics network for parcels and two-man-handling, involving cross-docks, warehouses, and an integrated IT system. Additionally, they will bring about a step-up in various operational processes that allow the company to run smoothly, e.g., by optimizing the order process and consumer mail flows or by realizing efficiency gains in customer care and the finance organization. The close connection between operations and tech requires the Head of Business Development to operate hands-on and, at times, act as a Product Owner or hack simple automation themselves.

The Head of Business Development will also be responsible for identifying improvement opportunities and initiating and executing strategic and operational projects. These could, for example, revolve around geographical expansion, new market entry, and the reduction of operational costs. Suppose their solutions call for additional resources outside of the current organization. In that case, the Head of Business Development will get the freedom to build a new team to get the job done.

Joining NADUVI now means becoming part of one of Europe’s fastest-growing e-tailers. The Head of Business Development will get the opportunity to contribute to the organization’s development and directly impact the future success of the scale-up.
