Amazon Compliance Specialist

About the role

KITSCH is seeking an experienced Amazon Compliance Specialist to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in e-commerce compliance, regulatory affairs, and marketplace operations. You will be the go-to person making sure every product we sell meets local regulations, Amazon policy requirements, and labeling standards before it ever hits a warehouse. This role sits at the intersection of legal, supply chain, catalog, and marketplace operations. Candidates should be highly organized, detail-obsessed, and comfortable working autonomously across US and international storefronts.

Key responsibilities

• US Amazon Compliance
• Maintain compliance with all Amazon US product listing policies, including restricted products, category-specific requirements, and claims validation.
• Own the relationship with Amazon compliance teams and manage any listing suppression, ASIN-level flags, or policy violation escalations.
• Ensure all product detail pages, A+ content, and advertising copy meet Amazon guidelines and FTC requirements.
• Track changes to Amazon Terms of Service, Category Listing Reports, and compliance enforcement patterns. Proactively flag risks before they become problems.
• Manage product safety documentation, testing certifications (CPSIA, Prop 65, FDA cosmetic regs), and maintain an organized compliance document library.
• International Compliance
• Lead compliance for all international Amazon marketplaces (UK, EU, CA, JP, AU, MX and any future expansion).
• Own VAT registration, filing coordination, and EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) obligations across all active EU member states and UK.
• Manage country-specific labeling and packaging requirements. Coordinate with supply chain to ensure correct labels, warnings, and translations ship with every unit.
• Stay current on evolving EU regulations (GPSR, CLP, REACH, CE marking) and ensure all products meet requirements before FBA inbound.
• Work with freight and 3PL partners to ensure customs documentation, HS code accuracy, and import compliance across DDP shipments.
• Labeling & Packaging Compliance
• Develop and maintain a master labeling matrix by SKU and marketplace covering required warnings, symbols, barcodes, language, and regulatory marks.
• Review all new product packaging artwork for compliance before production approval.
• Cook with product development and manufacturers to integrate compliance requirements into the product creation process from day one.
• Work with legal counsel on regulatory questions, demand letters, IP enforcement, and policy interpretation
• Work closely with the catalog, advertising, and creative teams to ensure every customer-facing asset is compliant.
• Build internal SOPs and training materials so the broader Amazon team can self-serve on routine compliance checks.
• Provide compliance input on new product launches, new marketplace entries, and deal strategy (Prime Day, BFCM, etc.).

Core competencies and qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in e-commerce compliance, regulatory affairs, or marketplace operations. Amazon-specific experience strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with US consumer product regulations (CPSIA, Prop 65, FTC advertising guidelines, FDA cosmetic rules).
• Hands-on experience with VAT, EPR, and customs compliance for cross-border e-commerce. EU and UK experience is a must.
• Strong understanding of product labeling requirements across multiple geographies.
• Highly organized with obsessive attention to detail — you do not let things slip through the cracks.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. We move quickly and need someone who can keep up without sacrificing accuracy.
• Excellent written communication. You can translate dense regulatory language into clear, actionable guidance for non-compliance teammates.
• Experience with consumer products (beauty, personal care, health, or wellness) is a strong plus.
