Job description

Hike is a fast-growing marketplace agency backed by Sportique, a global commerce platform with 17+ years of experience scaling, investing in, and acquiring premium brands.

We help established brands build profitable, sustainable businesses across Amazon and other marketplaces through strategy, operations, advertising, content, catalog management, analytics, and performance-driven growth.

We work with premium brands across beauty, wellness, home, outdoor, technology, CPG, fashion, and lifestyle.

Our team is collaborative, highly accountable, and focused on doing exceptional work for brands we genuinely believe in.

We're looking for a Brand Manager who wants more than simply managing accounts — someone who wants to take real ownership, become deeply involved in the businesses they oversee, and grow with Hike over the long term.

The Role

As a Brand Manager at Hike, you'll act as the business owner for a portfolio of premium brands on Amazon.

You'll be the primary strategic partner for your clients, responsible for understanding their businesses, identifying opportunities and risks, developing the strategy, and leading our internal teams to execute against it.

You'll work closely with specialists across Advertising, SEO, Content, Creative, Catalog, Merchandising, and Operations — but you'll own the bigger picture.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Takes ownership naturally
• Has a strong point of view
• Moves quickly and follows through
• Enjoys solving problems
• Communicates confidently with clients
• Thinks proactively about growth
• Wants more responsibility as they prove themselves

What You'll Own

• Own the overall health, growth, and performance of your assigned brands
• Develop and execute marketplace growth strategies
• Identify opportunities proactively rather than waiting for clients to ask
• Lead client meetings with clear recommendations and next steps
• Build trusted relationships with founders, executives, and ecommerce teams
• Coordinate internal specialists across Advertising, SEO, Content, Creative, Catalog, and Operations
• Translate strategy into clear priorities and actionable projects
• Review and QA internal deliverables before they reach the client
• Monitor revenue, profitability, TACoS, inventory health, catalog performance, and other core KPIs
• Manage product launches, listing optimization, promotions, and merchandising initiatives
• Identify and help resolve suppression, compliance, Buy Box, inventory, variation, and catalog issues
• Stay current on Amazon policies, tools, and marketplace trends
• Help brands evaluate expansion opportunities across international Amazon marketplaces and other relevant channels

What We're Looking For

• 3-5+ years of hands-on Amazon or marketplace experience
• Strong experience with Amazon Seller Central
• Experience managing or owning meaningful Amazon businesses
• Ability to manage multiple brands, priorities, and stakeholders
• Strong understanding of Amazon best practices across catalog, content, advertising, operations, and profitability
• Strong analytical ability
• High attention to detail
• Strong organizational and project-management skills
• Experience working with cross-functional teams
• Experience with Asana or similar project-management platforms

Agency experience is valuable, but not required.

We're equally interested in strong brand-side, ecommerce, marketplace, and Amazon-native operators.

You'll Thrive at Hike If...

• You don't need to be micromanaged
• You have a natural sense of urgency
• You're curious and enjoy understanding how businesses work
• You proactively identify problems and opportunities
• You're comfortable making recommendations and having a point of view
• You hold yourself accountable for outcomes
• You care deeply about the quality of your work
• You want to grow with the company over the long term

Why Hike

• Work with thoughtful, premium brands from around the world
• Own meaningful businesses rather than one narrow function
• Work closely with experienced operators and company leadership
• Collaborate with dedicated specialists across Advertising, SEO, Content, Creative, Catalog, and Operations
• Join a growing company where strong performance creates meaningful career opportunities
• Help shape how Hike operates as we continue to scale
• 401(k) retirement plan with company matching
• Performance-based bonus opportunities

Employment & Compensation

Full-time strongly preferred.

We may consider an exceptional experienced candidate seeking a consistent part-time schedule, generally 25-30+ hours per week, provided they can maintain reliable availability for clients and the internal team.

Compensation: $85,000-$125,000 annualized equivalent, depending on experience and working arrangement.
