Want to be part of a UK hub, in a global business that is scaling rapidly, evolving fast and radically changing the decades-old delivery universe? If so, read on, as we’re looking for a ­­­­Head of Retail to join our Commercial team!

Our mission? To switch up the status quo and become the UK’s leading out-of-home business. With a fast-growing network of thousands of smart lockers, hundreds of leading retail partners and the launch of our transformative Send service, we’re bringing freedom to anyone with a parcel.

At InPost UK, we’re building an unparalleled group of talent that’s committed to help us power our mission to reshape the way parcels move, and redefine eCommerce logistics. Our team is packed full of top-notch experts in e-commerce, technology, scale-up growth, sustainability, logistics and supply chain. We’re a passionate bunch with high ambition – we collaborate, innovate, support each other, and leave egos at the door.

About the role:

InPost's retail client base is the engine of our UK business. This is the role that protects it, grows it, and makes it the envy of the sector. We're looking for a commercially exceptional leader who can run a high-performing Customer Success team, hold the most strategic client relationships personally, and act as the most senior voice of the retail portfolio inside the business — from the product roadmap to the boardroom.

Lead the Customer Success Team

Build, develop, and manage a team of Account Directors, Senior CSMs, and CSMs across the full national retail portfolio. Set the strategy, the standards, and the culture — then hold the team accountable for delivering retention, volume, and revenue growth targets at scale.

Own the Most Strategic Clients

Personally hold a small number of InPost's most strategically significant retail relationships, engaging at CEO and C-suite level. Act as the ultimate point of escalation across the portfolio — and lead or support the most complex negotiations, renewals, and commercial structures.

Be the Voice of the Client Base

Feed deep portfolio insight into InPost's commercial strategy, product roadmap, and operational priorities. Monitor the retail and e-commerce landscape. Represent the retail segment at the most senior level — in leadership forums, cross-functional planning, and with the CCO and wider leadership team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead, manage, and develop the full UK Customer Success team — setting direction, performance expectations, and a culture of accountability and commercial excellence.

• Own and be accountable for national retention, volume, and revenue growth targets across the entire retail customer success portfolio.

• Define and execute the customer success strategy — including account tiering, coverage model design, and the framework for QBRs, MBRs, and strategic account planning.

• Personally own a small number of the most strategically significant client relationships, engaging at CEO and C-suite level and acting as the ultimate escalation authority.

• Oversee the quality and strategic rigour of account plans across the full team portfolio — reviewing, challenging, and approving to ensure they are insight-led and commercially ambitious.

• Lead and support the most complex commercial negotiations, contract renewals, and bespoke arrangements, working closely with Legal and Finance.

• Ensure the team proactively identifies, develops, and converts upsell and cross-sell opportunities across InPost's full product, service, and international portfolio.

• Oversee client health monitoring, retention risk identification, and at-risk account management — ensuring early intervention and bespoke recovery plans are in place where needed.

• Work closely with the New Business team to ensure seamless client handover, strong pipeline intelligence, and alignment on commercial strategy across acquisition and retention.

• Present high-quality portfolio performance reports, commercial forecasts, and strategic updates to the CCO and wider senior leadership on a regular basis.

What we need from you:

We’re looking for people who are ready for a fast paced environment, get their kicks out of problem solving and can balance getting today's stuff done, whilst building for the future. We’re looking for people with drive and natural curiosity – who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly.
