Prioritization: Take the global roadmap and own the "DACH Backlog"—deciding which tasks for Performance, CRM, and Platform will move the needle in your region.
Market Voice: Act as the primary bridge between the Venture and local DACH stakeholders, ensuring all localized assets meet high-quality German standards.

2. Squad Coordination (The "Coordinator" Role)

Functional Leadership: Direct the daily workflow of a dedicated squad (Performance, CRM, Platform, Creative, Data).
No People Management: You focus 100% on business output. Career growth and HR administration for the squad are handled by Senior Chapter Leads (Guilds). You act as the "Project Manager" within this squad.

Forecasting: Provide regular feedback and data-backed forecasts for the DACH region to the Domain Lead.
Data Interpretation: Work with Data Support specialists to interpret regional performance and turn insights into actionable tasks for the squad.

Experience: 3+ years in E-commerce (ideally within a brand, agency, or venture environment).
Tactical Mindset: You understand the "logic" of e-commerce tools (Meta Ads, Shopify, CRM) and can effectively direct specialists without needing to do the manual execution yourself.
Market Expert: Deep knowledge of DACH shopping habits, payment preferences (Klarna, etc.), and seasonal peaks.
