Job Summary

Own the forecast, ad budget, and QBR for a multi-brand enterprise Amazon book, leading growth opportunities and executive discussions.

  • Own a book of brands with $15M+ in annual Amazon gross sales, with forecast, budget, and QBR ownership
  • Run quarterly business reviews with executive stakeholders and manage high-stakes conversations
  • Identify growth opportunities across catalog, supply chain, and content before clients request them

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • The forecast. You set it, you defend it, and you are the one explaining the variance
  • The advertising strategy, executed by our advertising strategists. You set the direction and own the number; they are in the console
  • The QBR. You run the room. These are S-tier clients and the expectation is that you handle them with minimal involvement from leadership
  • The escalation. When something breaks across catalog, supply chain and content at once, it routes to you and the fix is yours to design
  • The growth case. You find the opportunity in the account before the client asks for it
  • You own a book of brands as their primary strategic partner (owning forecast, ad budget, QBR, etc.)

Requirements

  • At least one client brand you have personally owned at $15,000,000+ in annual Amazon gross sales. Not an aggregate portfolio figure. One account, that size, where the forecast, the ad budget and the QBR were yours
  • Agency, accelerator or aggregator experience managing external client brands - companies that were someone else's and could have fired you. In-house ownership of your own employer's brands, however large, is a different job
  • 3 to 5 external client brands managed simultaneously at enterprise scale
  • Hands-on Amazon Seller Central or Vendor Central experience within the last 6 months - currently in the platform, not overseeing someone who is
  • Forecasting and P&L fluency: you can build the model, not just read it
  • The client presence to run a QBR with an executive stakeholder and own a hard conversation in the room
  • Able to work onsite in San Diego 5 days a week

Preferred

  • Vendor Central depth alongside Seller Central
  • Experience in CPG, health, wellness or beauty categories
  • Advertising fluency deep enough to challenge or enforce a strategist's plan
  • Bachelor's degree, or the equivalent in experience

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical through Anthem Blue Cross, multiple plans
  • Dental and vision, including orthodontia and annual exams
  • Pet benefits — savings on vet care, products and services
  • 120 hours of vacation accrued annually, with rollover
  • Paid holidays and sick time
  • 401(k) with company match
