Financial Management & Reporting  

  • Assist in managing the Amazon account P&L, tracking sales performance, fees, and profitability.  
  • Generate weekly and monthly performance reports, highlighting trends, successes, and opportunities.  
  • Analyze seasonal performance to inform year-over-year improvements in forecasting and assortment planning.  

Issue Resolution & Support

  • Partner with Amazon support teams to ensure timely resolution of all account and listing issues.  
  • Monitor customer feedback and ratings to maintain brand reputation and seller performance.  

Growth & Optimization  

  • Collaborate with the Director of Amazon to develop seasonal strategies for product launches and promotions.  
  • Partner with marketing to align content, imagery, and brand messaging for each holiday campaign.  
  • Leverage data and insights to identify opportunities for sales growth, conversion improvement, and efficiency gains.  
  • Support the optimization of Amazon PPC campaigns by providing keyword and product performance insights.
