Contractor - Amazon Marketing Specialist

We are acquiring and scaling a small but growing Amazon store and are looking for an Amazon Marketing Specialist who can fully own and operate the account end-to-end. This role is highly hands-on and requires someone who can step in, take control of the store, and independently manage, optimize, and grow it with minimal oversight.

You will be the sole owner of the Amazon storefront, responsible for everything from product setup and pricing to profitability analysis, advertising, inventory flow, and customer experience.

This is a critical role with strong growth potential as we expand the catalog by adding products from our broader brand portfolio.
