Position Summary

At LifeStraw, we believe everyone deserves equitable access to safe drinking water. We design beautiful, simple, and functional products that provide the highest protection from unsafe water based on where and how they will be used. We also take our responsibility to people and planet seriously. For every product sold, a child in need receives access to safe water for an entire year. We have been partners in the fight for the eradication of Guinea worm for 25 years, and we actively respond to emergencies across the globe. We are Climate Neutral Certified, and from product to packaging, we measure and minimize our environmental impact. We strive to support underrepresented communities through our actions, our products, our marketing, and our communications. We live, work, and create with impact in mind. We fight for good and always err on the side of action.

LifeStraw is seeking an eCommerce Specialist to help run and grow our Amazon business across the US, Canada, and Europe. This hands‑on role owns the day‑to‑day work that keeps the channel healthy, including Vendor Central execution, catalog, content, promotions, pricing corrections, and reporting, while supporting the Global Account Manager – Amazon with the insights and execution needed to grow. Success is measured not just by keeping the channel running smoothly, but by making it perform better: stronger listings, sharper promotions, healthier inventory, and faster issue resolution.

As LifeStraw expands its Amazon footprint globally, this person will play a key role in building out our EU marketplaces. The right candidate is detail‑oriented and flexible, comfortable juggling many moving parts across multiple marketplaces, and energized by a fast‑paced, ever‑changing environment. This individual will partner closely with Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Operations, as well as our advertising agency and Amazon teams. The role offers meaningful ownership and room to grow.

The position will report directly to the Global Account Manager – Amazon. We prefer a candidate based in the Baltimore, MD / Washington DC area who can work a hybrid schedule from our Baltimore office; strong candidates located elsewhere in the U.S. will also be considered.

• Pull weekly Vendor Central data and maintain sell‑through reports and dashboards by marketplace (Shipped COGS, Shipped Units, ASP, YoY growth), turning the numbers into clear insights
• Monitor inventory health, weeks of coverage, and PO acceptance rate, flagging out‑of‑stock risk, excess inventory, and forecast variances, and working with Operations to resolve fulfillment issues
