One of the coolest etail jobs around!

We’re looking for an Ecommerce Marketplace Merchandising Coordinator for a client that manufactures and imports products for physical and occupation therapy, athletic training, and home care. Since the mid-1970s, the company’s products have been sold through a worldwide distribution network to hospitals, clinics, and fitness centers.

This is not some garage-based 3P startup. These folks have their act together.

The primary thrust of this job will be to list new items and maintain old listings, primarily on the Amazon marketplace. On a daily basis, you’ll find yourself uploading images and videos to product listings, plus keeping track of where those item listings are stored internally. You’ll be running daily reports of the latest sales trends while working with the company’s Supply Chain team to manage a vast FBA inventory.

The company has 4K SKUs on Amazon — but that number could balloon to 10K soon. Obviously, with so much product to sell, you’ll be tasked with conducting research on Amazon, Walmart and other marketplaces to identify new growth opportunities.

Naturally, Management will expect you to communicate effectively at all levels of the company while managing the flow of feedback within the Amazon marketplace to ensure high seller ratings. Meaning, if buyers are disgruntled — Management will need you to act FAST and PROACTIVELY to deal with the situation. Is that your style?

You won’t believe how much we know about this search …

I spent a ton of time on the phone with the client teasing out exactly what you’ll need to KNOW and DO to hit the ground running in this role. Some of the things I can share with highly qualified candidates include …

1. The “real” background requirements for this position, along with the top five things all resumes MUST have to be considered for the role.
2. The top five problems that exist due to this position being open. These are the little brush fires you will be expected to put out during your first month on the job. Every ecommerce job has these — and this one’s no different.
3. What your average day/week will look like in this role. There’s what you read in the standard ecommerce job posting … then there’s reality. We’ve got the reality.
4. The leading and lagging KPIs that will determine your success in this role. In a nutshell: How you keep score.
5. The major projects you’ll need to complete by Day 100 to be considered a home-run in this position. We’ve got the lowdown on how you can plug-and-play and drive REAL value in this ecommerce job.
