Job overview

In this high‑impact Marketplaces Strategic Sales Manager role, you will partner closely with the Director of Pricing and Marketplaces to execute marketplace strategy and drive revenue growth and strong performance across third‑party marketplace channels. You’ll own marketplace performance outcomes (sales, profitability, and the levers that drive them). This is a player‑coach role—you’ll personally execute high‑impact work (performance analysis, prioritization, and key optimizations) while leading the team and aligning cross‑functional partners around clear goals. You’ll run the performance operating rhythm (weekly/monthly business reviews, KPI dashboards, and priority setting) and make day‑to‑day performance decisions within agreed guardrails. You’ll partner with the Director on budgets, major investment shifts, and big strategic tradeoffs.

This role blends strategic channel execution, data‑driven decision‑making, team leadership, and cross‑functional collaboration to maximize sales and profitability across major marketplaces. You translate strategy into a clear plan—what we’re optimizing, where we’re investing, and what “good” looks like—then you drive action and accountability across the business. You directly manage the Marketplaces Visibility Manager and partner with Marketplaces Operations so fulfillment execution supports marketplace goals. If you love owning performance, turning insights into decisions, and rallying a team around measurable results, you’ll feel right at home here.

Here are the specifics:

• Lead weekly, monthly, and quarterly performance reporting for eBay, Amazon, and Walmart.com. Analyze sales performance, profitability, and key drivers to inform prioritization, highlight risks and opportunities, and support decision‑making with the Director of Pricing and Marketplaces.

• Lead execution of strategic initiatives designed to drive revenue growth, increase market share, and expand product presence across marketplace channels in alignment with broader marketplace strategy.

• Translate revenue targets, budgets, and ROAS expectations into advertising objectives, investment direction, and success metrics, partnering closely with the Visibility Manager to ensure execution aligns with commercial goals and guardrails.

• Oversee execution of fulfillment strategies across a variety of models including FBA, FBM, and hybrid approaches, ensuring alignment with inventory, cost considerations, and business priorities as they impact marketplace performance (speed, cost-to-serve, and seller/account health metrics) in coordination with the operations team who owns operational execution and day‑to‑day fulfillment processes.

• Directly supervise the Visibility Manager. Provide clear goals, strategic context, coaching, and performance feedback while enabling functional ownership of visibility strategy and execution.

• Monitor competitor activity, platform algorithm changes, category trends, and customer behavior to surface insights, risks, and opportunities for discussion and action.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reports (including KPI definitions and a clear weekly/monthly cadence) to provide clear visibility into marketplace performance for stakeholders and support crisp, action‑oriented performance narratives.

• Constantly work to improve processes; make suggestions for productivity improvements, and optimize team member workflow, while continuing to meet our customers’ needs.
• Standard employment expectations: Regular and reliable attendance and flexibility to take on additional tasks as business needs evolve.
