Meet the team
“A typical day within the Start Up Scale Up team is all about our sellers. On any given day, I’ll be on calls with sellers or reaching out with regular emails to provide advice that is tailored to their business needs. This level of personalisation is what really helps to accelerate their understanding of the eBay platform, while maximising the visibility and sales potential of their products.
“I also speak to potential sellers who have expressed interest in joining Start Up Scale Up, to share an overview of the programme and learn more about their business objectives. I really enjoy getting to know and working to support such a variety of sellers over the course of the programme, which is why I find working as part of the team and programme so rewarding.”
Niamh, Marketplace Advisor
