Job Description
WeBuyVintage is one of the UK’s largest buyers of jewellery, antiques and collectibles. We run more roadshows than any other UK company - over 250 valuation events every month - bringing trusted experts face-to-face with customers across the country.
In less than two years, we’ve grown from a pub-table idea into an eight-figure business, and we’re on a mission to make WeBuyVintage a brand everyone recognises.

Reporting into the Head of Business Development, you will be trusted to work autonomously to identify and execute high-impact projects that deliver growth, profit and process optimisation, and cross-business innovation.

- Business Efficiency & Optimisation: Identify areas for process or spend improvement, ensuring we can scale each area of our business as profitably and efficiently as possible.
- Stakeholder Management: Collaborate effectively with internal teams, external partners, and suppliers to ensure the smooth and successful execution of all projects.
- Reporting & Handover: Establish clear KPIs for all new initiatives, monitor their success, and create structured handover processes for the wider operations team once a project is stabilized.You’ll be great in this role if you have:
- Commercial Acumen: A strong understanding of business finance, profitability, and what drives revenue growth in a consumer-facing business.
- A self-starter mentality with a demonstrated ability to take an idea from a blank sheet of paper to a fully operational reality.
- Someone with an analytical mindset who is comfortable working with data to build business cases, forecast outcomes, and measure project success.
- Someone who is adaptable and comfortable navigating ambiguity and pivoting quickly in a high-growth, fast-changing environment.
Essential:
- Proven track record in project management, commercial strategy, operations, or management consulting.
- Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to manage and influence stakeholders at all levels, from front-line staff to external suppliers and company founders.
- Experience of the Antiques and Jewellery Industry

- Access to Bright Exchange - enjoy thousands of exclusive employee discounts and perks
- Employee Assistance Programme - confidential, 24/7 support for you and your immediate family, covering work, personal, and home life matters
