Interim Director, Amazon

About the role

We’re hiring an experienced Amazon operator for a contract leave coverage (October 2026 through mid-January 2027). This is a high-trust, high-impact contract role - you’ll be the senior execution arm of the Amazon US business through our most important quarter of the year.

What You'll Do

• Help deliver Q4 (eight-figure revenue in 12 weeks) — the quarter that makes the year
• Stay deep in the account daily — diagnose fast, unblock the team, surface growth the planning cycle missed
• Lead discrete strategic workstreams as they come up — e.g. TikTok Shop product launch coordinated with Amazon.
• Be the senior voice in cross-functional rooms during the overlap and the leave — confident judgment on paid, merch, ops, pricing trade-offs, account unblocks
• Keep the function moving especially during key pivot points (e.g. October Prime Day and Turkey 12) so the team isn’t waiting on decisions

About You

• 6+ years owning or operating a meaningful Amazon US P&L (Director or senior Manager level) at a high-growth brand
• Experience at a corporate or PE-backed company — you understand the real trade-offs between speed and process, growth and profitability, brand and performance
• A track record of operating in the account, not just managing through it — comfortable in Seller Central, an ad SaaS, Brand Analytics, etc.
• Strong commercial judgment under pressure — you’ve owned a Q4 number before
• Crisp, executive-ready communication — you write tight Slack updates and you don’t bury asks
• The temperament to step into someone else’s house and operate at pace quickly

Bonus Points

• Personal care, beauty, or CPG category experience
• Experience launching adjacent channels (TikTok Shop, Walmart 1P & 3P etc.)
• Paid media depth - you can partner with a PPC operator without micromanaging
• Have worked through a leadership transition (parental leave, acquisition, restructure)
