Associate Brand Manager; E-commerce​/Amazon

About the Business

This role sits within a backed, fast-scaling digital business that competes on commercial execution, pricing dynamics, and monetization strategy
, not brand spend.

The company operates high-traffic comparison platforms across finance, insurance, and consumer services, where rankings, payout structures, and partner economics directly determine revenue, visibility, and growth
. Decisions are data-led, fast-moving, and closely tied to performance outcomes.

The business is supported by an experienced investment group with a track record of scaling performance-driven platforms. The focus is on owning and optimizing monetization levers
, not long planning cycles or top-heavy marketing layers.

This role is designed for someone who already understands how commercial inputs translate into performance outcomes — pricing, economics, visibility, prioritization — and wants to apply that skill set in a broader, platform-level environment.

You’ll start by working closely with senior team members to manage and optimize a portfolio of revenue-driving partnerships. Over time, you’ll take on direct ownership of partner economics, deal structure, and performance optimization
, with a clear path to full accountability.

If you’ve run or supported marketplace categories, Amazon brands, ecommerce assortments, or monetization-focused accounts
, this role gives you exposure to the same levers — at a higher level of scale and impact.

• Support and participate in commercial negotiations with partners, focusing on payout structure, ranking impact, and revenue upside
• Monitor performance trends, rankings, and competitor behavior to identify opportunities for optimization
• Help structure and renegotiate agreements to improve economics and platform performance
• Manage ongoing partner communication, follow-through, and execution
• Use performance data to prioritize partners, deals, and opportunities
• Gradually take full ownership of a partner portfolio
  , including strategy, optimization, and results

• Experience in ecommerce, marketplace operations, affiliate monetization, partnerships, or performance-driven accounts
• Comfort working with pricing, economics, performance metrics, and prioritization
• Experience translating data into commercial decisions
  , not just reporting
• Curiosity about how deal structure and incentives drive behavior and outcomes
• Ready to move into a role with clear ownership and accountability
  , not just execution support

• Hands-on exposure to real revenue drivers
  , not abstract strategy
• Direct mentorship from senior commercial leaders
• Clear progression into full ownership of partners and monetization strategy
• A strong next step for operators who want broader scope and commercial depth beyond a single marketplace or category

• Competitive base salary
• Performance incentives tied to impact and contribution
• Expanded scope, ownership, and influence as you ram

Is:

• Performance-driven
• Commercially focused
• About optimizing economics, visibility, and outcomes

Isn’t:

• Brand marketing
• Passive account management
• SDR-style sales or quota chasing

If your background includes owning performance, optimizing economics, or managing revenue-driving partnerships
, we’d love to connect.
