Head of APC
Build our spare parts e-commerce unit into a standalone business.
Location: Aachen, Germany (hybrid possible)
Employment: Full-time, permanent
Start: Q2 2026
Reports to: COO
Scope: Own business unit with full P&L responsibility
The Role
Printers worldwide need high-quality, fast-available spare parts for their machine parks — but the supply landscape is fragmented and unreliable. We founded APC (Allaoui Parts & Components) to solve this. It’s currently in its validation phase, with first revenue and a small team. We’re looking for the person who takes full ownership and builds it into a serious business.
You’ll own everything: e-commerce marketing, operations, sourcing strategy, and P&L. This is an entrepreneurial role inside a well-funded, established company.
What You’ll Do
E-Commerce & Marketing
Own and scale the APC online shop — listings, conversion, customer experience
Run paid campaigns (Google Ads, marketplace ads) segmented by product group and geography
Own analytics and optimize for SEO and conversion
Operations & Finance
Manage the team handling packing, shipping, and customer service
Coordinate with accountant and tax office on invoicing, VAT, reporting
Build processes that scale as volume grows
Sourcing & Business Development
Validate and build a proactive parts sourcing strategy beyond opportunistic purchasing
Develop offers for printers to sell their spare parts inventories through us
Own the APC P&L — grow revenue and margin, build the case for scaling
What We’re Looking For
3–5 years in e-commerce, online marketplaces, or B2B parts/components trade
Hands-on performance marketing experience (Google Ads, marketplace optimization)
Operational mindset — comfortable managing a team, logistics, and finance
Commercial instinct for sourcing and pricing
Fluent in German and English
Entrepreneurial drive — you want to build a business unit, not maintain one
What We Offer
Your own business unit — you own APC end-to-end: marketing, operations, sourcing, P&L
Entrepreneurial opportunity — funded business with revenue, inventory, and a parent company with deep industry relationships
Proprietary market data — we know exactly which parts the market wants, giving you a sourcing edge no competitor has
Performance-based upside — bonus tied to unit growth
Lean, fast team — ~25 people, flat hierarchy, direct access to CEO and COO
Hiring Process
1. Intro call (30 min) — recruiter, mutual fit
2. Deep-dive interview (60 min) — COO, experience & vision
3. Team catch-ups (30 min) — informal calls with team members
4. On-site in Aachen — meet the CEO, practical case study
