• Supporting the launch and scaling of newly launched own-brand products in the US market

About You:

• Hands-on experience with Amazon Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and campaign optimisation at a similar scale
• Background within a large, established retail or FMCG business — this isn't one for candidates coming from small-business backgrounds
• A track record of driving performance improvements and reporting results to senior stakeholders
• Experience with retail-specific Amazon strategy: seasonality, promotions and product visibility
• Comfortable working within large, cross-functional teams
