We are seeking an exceptional Manager of Business Development & Partnerships to scale our 3P Private Brands models to the next stage of growth and establish this program as a premier opportunity for sellers across our marketplace.

Key job responsibilities

In this high-impact role, you will be responsible for driving the strategic expansion of our 3P Private Brands program through multiple key initiatives:

Seller Partnership & Ecosystem Development

You will identify, evaluate, and onboard qualified sellers from key manufacturing clusters to bridge critical selection gaps within Private Brands. By building deep relationships with manufacturing partners, you'll create a sustainable pipeline of quality brands. You'll design seller onboarding programs that equip partners with the tools and support needed for long-term success on Amazon, transforming promising sellers into thriving brand builders.
