What You’ll Own

• Platform Ownership & Account Health: Lead day-to-day operations and growth for Amazon and Flipkart accounts—owning everything from catalog management, listing optimization, and rich content (A+ / Flipkart product pages) to pricing, buy-box health, and account hygiene.
• Ad & Promo Campaigns: Strategy, execution, and ROI optimization for Flipkart PLA (Product Listing Ads), Amazon Sponsored Products, BBD (Big Billion Days) events, Great Indian Festival sales, and everyday platform deal slots.
• Performance & P&L Analytics: Build category-level performance dashboards, track daily traffic/conversion trends, run keyword analyses, and monitor platform margins, returns, and sales metrics using Excel/Sheets and internal dashboards.
• Category Growth Levers: Identify levers to improve search rankings, secure top bestseller slots, scale trending kitchen categories, and optimize keyword bidding.
• Supply Chain & Inventory Planning: Partner with supply chain and logistics teams to forecast stock demand, schedule timely warehouse/FBA/Flipkart Advantage inwardings, and prevent stockouts during key sale events.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–6 years of hands-on experience directly managing high-volume e-commerce accounts, ideally gained at Flipkart , a top-tier marketplace agency, or a high-growth D2C brand.
• Flipkart Ecosystem Expertise: Deep operational familiarity with Flipkart Seller Hub, Flipkart Ads, PLA campaigns, promotional calendar submissions, and category management processes. (Strong knowledge of Amazon Seller/Vendor Central is equally essential).
• Data Fluency: Advanced command over Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets, platform analytics, and advertising dashboards to translate raw data into clear growth strategies.
• Category Background: Prior exposure to D2C or consumer brands in Home, Kitchen, Lifestyle, or Consumer Durables is a strong plus.
• Quick Commerce Familiarity: Experience or working knowledge of Q-Commerce portals (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart) is a high-value bonus.
• Startup Mindset: High bias for action, end-to-end ownership, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment without corporate bureaucracy.

We are not a slow-moving corporate. We cut through red tape, empower our team with real ownership, and back every strategic initiative with real data.
