We design, manufacture and distribute licensed and original product to retailers nationwide, and we sell direct to consumers on Amazon under our Pop Classics brand. We are a lean, fast-moving team where people own their work, decisions get made without a lot of layers, and good ideas matter more than titles.

POSITION SUMMARY The Amazon Marketplace Manager owns Open Road Brands' Amazon business for the Pop Classics brand. This person is accountable for the growth and profitability of the channel, revenue, margin, assortment, inventory position and advertising return — and for running the weekly operating rhythm that keeps it healthy.

This is a hands-on ownership role. You will set the strategy and you will also execute against it: planning FBA replenishment, launching new items, managing pricing and aged inventory, and maintaining advertising. Success looks like a channel that grows profitably and an operation that gets simpler and more automated over time rather than heavier.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Channel Performance Own Amazon revenue and contribution margin for the Pop Classics brand; build and manage an annual and quarterly plan for the channel.

Produce weekly sales and traffic reporting for leadership with analysis — what moved, why, and what action follows.

Monitor category trends, competitor activity and Amazon program changes, and recommend where the business should respond.

Inventory & Replenishment Forecast demand and determine FBA replenishment based on warehouse inventory, days of supply and seasonal demand.

Build and issue weekly FBA shipments to the warehouse team, coordinating with Operations and Manufacturing on lead times and shipment processing.

Maintain shipment records and case pack data; ensure inventory is positioned to avoid both stock-outs and long-term storage exposure.

Reconcile closed shipments and pursue reimbursement for receiving discrepancies, recovering the dollars we are owed.

New Item Launch & Catalog Determine which new items launch on Amazon and sequence them against licensor calendars, photography batches and seasonal demand.

Manage the full launch process: SKU and ASIN creation in Net Suite, pricing to margin targets, listing setup, copy and image verification, and parent/child relationships.

Set eCommerce pricing using fee, fulfillment and freight inputs to hit an established margin target; adjust as fee structures or competition change.

Partner with Merchandising and Creative on product copy, imagery, brand store placement and A+ content; proofread every product page before it goes live.

Maintain catalog hygiene — retire poor sellers, clean up zero-inventory listings, and keep records aligned across Net Suite, Rithum and Amazon.

Pricing & Inventory Health Review inventory aging weekly and take action on slow movers through sale pricing, price discounts and Amazon outlet deals.

Manage Buy Box and competitive pricing decisions within approved margin guidelines.

Track long-term storage fees and reduce aged inventory exposure quarter over quarter.

Advertising Own the Amazon advertising budget and its return; set campaign structure, targeting and bid strategy against an agreed efficiency target.

Maintain campaigns on a weekly cadence,…
