Coordinate with the Growth Team on strategic roadmaps and performance tracking for other online marketplaces, including Walmart.com and Target.com.
Ensure smooth brand operations by proactively identifying and addressing risks, errors, or anomalies.
Collaborate with other departments to resolve any issues that arise, ensuring the brand meets its financial and operational targets.
Oversee inventory pipelines, working with the Operation Specialists to avoid stockouts and meet MAPE targets.
Manage inventory projections, forecasting, order placements, and logistics to maintain optimal stock levels.
Partner with and supervise the Supply Chain team to ensure sound replenishment strategies that accurately meet demand while minimizing out-of-stock risk.
Drive initiatives for storage optimization (e.g., FBA or 3PL), proactively managing inventory aging and mitigating long-term storage fees to maximize profitability and channel health.
Ensure all inventory and logistical planning aligns directly with marketplace promotional calendars and GTM launch plans.
Content & Conversion Excellence
Ensure product content excellence is maintained and optimized across all marketplaces, including high-quality product images, compelling copy, and enhanced A+ content.
Translate Brand and Go-To-Market messaging into high-performing, search-optimized content for the marketplace environment.
Conduct regular audits of product listings to identify and implement opportunities for conversion rate improvement (CRO).
Performance Marketing & Alignment
Coordinate directly with Growth Marketing on paid search and advertising strategy and execution for Amazon (AMS) and other major .com partners.
Analyze marketplace sales data to identify trends, opportunities, and challenges, translating these into clear action plans for both operations and marketing teams.

Track, analyze, and report on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including conversion rate, product ranking, share of search, return rate, and overall channel profitability.
Provide performance data, analysis, and strategic summaries to the Senior Brand Manager to inform critical business decisions on brand investment, product focus, and overall marketplace direction.
Run structured tests on new marketplace features, promotional formats, and content variations to optimize sales and revenue.
Customer Service & Seller Support
Oversee customer service interactions and seller support cases, ensuring timely resolution and maintaining high customer satisfaction.
