Babylonstoren is a living ecosystem where agriculture, food, hospitality, design, retail and technology come

together. From the farm and production floor to the shop shelf, online basket and customer’s doorstep, we

strive for exceptional products, clear provenance and extraordinary attention to detail.

We are looking for a commercially astute, entrepreneurial and hands-on leader to lead and further grow

Babylonstoren’s expanding retail, e-commerce and production environment.

The role brings together e-commerce, product development & production, procurement, retail,

Engineering or an MBA.

● Relevant commercial experience, including in a senior leadership role.

● P&L experience in e-commerce or an integrated commercial environment.

● Strong entrepreneurial mindset and excellent commercial acumen.

● Proven skill in leading and developing a large, multidisciplinary team (some 350 people).

● A good understanding of e-commerce technology, data, digital platforms and the practical application

of AI.

● The ability to translate strategy into priorities, actions and measurable results.

● A hands-on approach with an exceptional eye for quality, product and detail.

● Fluent in both English and Afrikaans.

● Willing to travel internationally a few times per year.

Responsibilities:

● Lead Babylonstoren’s retail, e-commerce and production operations as one integrated ecosystem.

● Build a customer-centric business supported by excellent service, people and systems.

● Develop the product range and identify new growth opportunities.

● Manage the P&L, budget, revenue, margins and long-term profitability.

● Monitor inventory, costs, service levels and operational performance.

● Build, develop and motivate a strong management team with clear accountability.

● Stay abreast of local and international trends and translate new ideas into practical improvements.

● Collaborate closely with other Babylonstoren teams and commercial initiatives abroad.

The Person Behind the CV

You think big without losing sight of the detail. You are commercially driven but understand that a strong

brand is about far more than sales. You set high standards, bring people with you and never lose sight of the

product, quality or customer.

At Babylonstoren, commerce is not simply about what we sell – it is about how we bring place, product,

people and experience together in an exceptional way.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
