Job description

Account Manager, Shop Direct, Shop Direct

Job ID: 10496260 | Amazon.com Services LLC

About the Team:

The Off-Amazon Selection (OAS) Business Development team recruits and enables brands, retailers, and partners to bring their selection to Amazon customers through two core experiences:

• Shop Direct: a lower-lift entry motion where customers discover a brand's selection in Amazon search or Alexa Shopping and are redirected to the brand's own site to complete the purchase (no Amazon PDP required).
• Buy for Me: a seamless, agentic checkout experience.

The Account Manager owns a portfolio of external partners across DTC brands, retailers, integrators, and commerce service providers, driving recruitment, onboarding, and long-term growth of their participation in OAS.

Job Summary

The Account Manager serves as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of OAS partners, guiding them from initial recruitment through onboarding, launch, and ongoing growth. This role blends relationship management and cross-functional program execution working across product, tech, marketing, and legal to remove blockers and deliver a great merchant and customer experience. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in ambiguity, earns trust with senior external stakeholders, and thinks big about scaling selection.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end partner relationship for a portfolio of DTC brands, retailers, integrators, and commerce service providers.
• Manage partner onboarding and launch, coordinating across internal product, tech, integration, and operations teams to ensure a smooth technical and commercial integration.
• Build trusted, long-term relationships with senior stakeholders and decision-makers on the partner side.
• Develop and execute account plans to grow selection, engagement, and volume across the assigned portfolio.
• Identify and unblock issues including technical, contractual, or operational, that stand in the way of partner launch or growth, escalating where needed.
• Partner with commerce service providers to strengthen catalog and purchasing primitives that scale onboarding.
• Track partner performance and program metrics; prepare clear updates and business reviews for internal leadership and external partners.
• Contribute to the broader OAS business development strategy by surfacing partner feedback, market trends, and category insights that shape the program.
• Represent the voice of the partner and the customer in internal roadmap and prioritization discussions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, account management, or a related client-facing/commercial role.

About the team
