More than 300 million customers shop in Amazon’s store, and every day, customers browse, purchase, and review products sold by third-party sellers right alongside products sold by Amazon. Since 2000, Amazon has offered this virtual shelf space to individuals and companies of all sizes, helping them reach hundreds of millions of customers, build their brands, and grow their business. Fast-forward to the present day, and these third-party seller products account for more than half of all units sold in our store. Expansion countries are currently in the process of intensifying their efforts, creating a dynamic and fast-paced environment to operate in.

THE TEAM & ROLE:
With increasing complexity of today’s ecommerce and rise of opportunities, the Strategic Account Services (SAS) team aims to leverage the full potential of each Amazon Seller on Amazon. Our team provides leading-edge strategic consultancy using a data-driven, collaborative, and customer-focused approach to support our Sellers to achieve their goals. Our holistic service offering addresses advice on all facets of the Amazon Marketplace including topics such as International expansion, Portfolio Optimization, Fulfillment Strategy, Product Presentation, Promotions, Advertising Strategy and Brand Building. In parallel to this strategic support, we also help our Sellers to solve their most pressing operational challenges.

As a Marketplace Consultant, you strategically consult your own portfolio of Sellers independently. Your objective is to support Sellers to drive their business growth and program satisfaction by working backwards from their individual targets and developing a roadmap together with your Sellers. In addition, you use your analytical know-how to proactively identify untapped potential of each Seller.

Additionally, you will be responsible for recruiting and onboarding your own Sellers to the program. You will work together with C-level decision makers in both the pitching and strategic supporting. The position entails a significant level of ambiguity and requires effective stakeholder management to coordinate across various teams.
