AG Partners - Amazon Operations Manager
$36,000–$60,000 year
Remote
Job Summary
Own every product launch from brief to first sale for client and internal Amazon brands, coordinating sourcing, catalog, design, and PPC to ensure clean, on-time execution. Lead the supply chain and catalog management teams, maintaining a visible launch pipeline with clear status, blockers, and owners. Build dashboards for inventory, launch progress, and brand performance while deploying AI and automation to reduce manual operational time by 50% within six months. Run weekly operations meetings independently to deliver concise status reports for founders, manage end-to-end client journeys, and handle hiring and performance management. Work within EU time zones with core overlap with Lisbon-based founders, managing early-morning supplier comms and afternoon client interactions.
Required Qualifications
- 7+ years operations leadership in e-commerce, Amazon, or supply-chain-heavy business (you've run a function, not just executed in one)
- Hands-on Amazon experience (you've personally launched products on Amazon, private label or agency-side, and you understand the mechanics of catalog, listings, and the launch process)
- Supply chain fluency (lead times, MOQs, freight, QC, supplier dynamics, inventory forecasting - enough depth to lead the sourcing team and make decisions, not just ask questions)
- Excellent written English (native or near-native - client-facing communication is a core part of this role)
- Systems thinker (you design and implement processes with discipline and are comfortable owning ClickUp, Notion, or Airtable as a daily operating tool)
- Genuinely AI-fluent (you've shipped automations using Zapier, Make, n8n, or LLM workflows - not just interested in AI, but actually using it weekly)
- Strong people manager (you've led teams, ideally across functions, and can hold them accountable without drama)
- Self-directed (you diagnose problems and act - you don't wait to be told what to do)
- Based in or overlapping with EU time zone (Western or Eastern Europe strongly preferred, UK working hours)
- Full-time, primary role (no freelancing or second jobs)
Desired Qualifications
- Direct Amazon FBA private label launch experience (your own brand or as an agency operator)
- Experience managing offshore teams (Philippines, India, Pakistan, Eastern Europe)
- Experience working at a bootstrapped business or as a COO-of-one at a small company
- Experience with sourcing in China (suppliers, freight, FBA logistics)
- Familiarity with Xero, Sellerboard, Helium 10, Jungle Scout, or similar Amazon-specific tooling
- Background that includes running both client-facing and internal operations functions
