COMPANYWe are looking for a Director of Marketplaces to serve as the senior leader and primary owner of our third-party commerce business across Amazon (US, CA, and UK), TikTok Shop, Target, Walmart and emerging platforms. This is an IC-heavy leadership role — you will own strategy and execution across the full marketplace P&L while building through a lean team, agency partners, and offshore support. You will drive revenue growth, profitability, and brand presence across the entire marketplace ecosystem: advertising, social commerce, product launches, Subscribe & Save, brand partnerships, inventory planning, 3PL optimization, and operational excellence.
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIESWhat You’ll DoAmazon & Marketplace Revenue Growth
  • Own the global marketplace P&L - majority Amazon, across US Seller Central marketplaces, with full accountability for revenue, contribution margin, and growth targets

  • Own revenue and profitability across TikTok Shop and other third-party commerce platforms

  • Set and deliver the annual and quarterly revenue plan, including category-level and country-level targets

  • In partnership with the Merchandising team, build and execute the merchandising and assortment strategy — what we list, where we list it, and how we sequence launches across regions

  • In partnership with the Merchandising team, lead pricing, promotion, and Deals strategy (Lightning Deals, Best Deals, Prime Day, Big Deal Days, Black Friday/Cyber Monday) to maximize profitable growth

  • Identify and prioritize new growth levers within Amazon — new categories, new ASINs, new international marketplaces — and own the business case and execution end-to-end

  • Drive profitable growth through optimized merchandising, pricing, and marketing investment across all marketplace channels

Marketplace Profitability Management
  • Own contribution margin on Amazon. Manage the levers — product mix, pricing, promo depth, ad efficiency, FBA fees, returns, and chargebacks — to hit profitability targets

  • Partner with Finance on forecasting, budgeting, and monthly P&L reviews. Bring a clear point of view on where the business is over- or under-indexing

  • Manage FBA inventory health, storage costs, long-term storage fees, and aged inventory exposure in close partnership with Operations and Supply Chain

  • Make disciplined investment trade-offs between growth (ad spend, promo, new launches) and profitability (margin, efficiency, contribution)

  • Build the reporting cadence and KPI framework that lets the rest of the company see how Amazon is performing in real time

Advertising & Listing Optimization
  • Own Amazon Ads strategy and performance — Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and DSP — with clear targets for ACoS, TACoS, ROAS, and incrementality

  • Manage agency and/or in-house ad operations to ensure spend is allocated efficiently across keywords, ASINs, audiences, and dayparts

  • Drive the listing optimization roadmap: titles, bullets, A+ Content, Brand Story, Storefronts, images, video, and Premium A+ — built for both conversion and discoverability

  • Own SEO and organic rank strategy across the catalog. Use search term reports, Brand Analytics, and competitive data to compound organic share over time

  • Run a continuous testing program — creative, copy, price points, badging — and turn wins into standard practice across the catalog and across regions

  • Manage and optimize paid marketing investments across TikTok Shop and emerging platforms

  • Monitor Share of Voice (SOV) metrics to ensure brands maintain a competitive edge in key categories

Social Commerce & Creator Architecture
  • Architect the TikTok Shop Affiliate strategy, managing the Affiliate Center and creator-led Live Shopping funnels to turn social momentum into measurable business impact

  • Partner with creative teams to produce algorithm-first content that reduces purchase friction

  • Stay ahead of emerging social commerce platforms and beta programs to maintain first-mover advantage

Amazon-Exclusive SKUs & Subscribe & Save
  • Lead the strategy and launch of Amazon-exclusive products designed to capture incremental demand and reduce channel conflict

  • Partner with product development and supply chain to bring exclusive SKUs to market on timeline and at target margins

  • Manage exclusive product lifecycle from ideation through launch, scaling, and sunset decisions

  • Launch, manage, and optimize RYZE's presence in Amazon's Subscribe & Save program to drive recurring revenue and improve customer LTV

  • Define coupon and discount strategies that balance subscriber acquisition with margin targets

  • Monitor and improve Subscribe & Save enrollment rates, retention, and reorder frequency

Marketplace Operations & Compliance
  • Own the operational health of Seller Central: account health metrics, IPI score, suppressed listings, ASIN-level issues, and case management

  • Maintain Brand Registry, manage Transparency / Project Zero where applicable, and lead the response to unauthorized sellers, counterfeits, and listing hijackings

  • Own catalog hygiene end-to-end — variation families, parent/child relationships, attribute accuracy, and image compliance — across all marketplaces

Inventory Planning, Forecasting & 3PL Optimization
  • Lead demand forecasting and inventory planning to support growth while minimizing stockouts and excess inventory

  • Partner with Supply Chain on FBA inbound planning, shipment routing, replenishment cadence, and inventory positioning across FCs and regions

  • Manage product lifecycle planning including launches, restocks, and sunset decisions

  • Oversee 3PL relationships supporting partner brands

  • Identify opportunities to improve logistics efficiency, reduce costs, and eliminate operational friction

  • Ensure seamless coordination between brands, warehouse partners, and marketplaces

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Commercial Leadership to align Amazon strategy with the broader omni-channel plan

  • Work with Brand and Creative to ensure on-Amazon storytelling reflects RYZE's voice, quality, and brand identity

  • Collaborate with Performance Marketing to coordinate cross-channel demand generation and avoid cannibalization between DTC and Amazon

  • Partner with Operations and Supply Chain on inventory readiness, FBA planning, and fulfillment execution

  • Work with Finance on forecasting, budgeting, and P&L management

  • Coordinate with Legal and Compliance on Brand Registry, IP enforcement, and international marketplace requirements

Team Leadership
  • Build, lead, and mentor a team of marketplace specialists across advertising, operations, social commerce, content, and analytics

  • Establish team structure, processes, and KPIs to support scale

  • Manage relationships with external agencies, creators, and technology partners

  • Build scalable processes and operating frameworks to support marketplace growth
