Marketplace Consultant - German, Strategic Account Services

Description

As a Marketplace Consultant you would be a part of Strategic Account Services (SAS) Team of Retail Business Services, you will have the exciting opportunity to help shape and deliver on a strategy for managing Amazon Seller Partners.

More than 300 million customers shop in Amazon's store, and every day, customers browse, purchase, and review products sold by third-party sellers right alongside products sold by Amazon. Since 2000, Amazon has offered this virtual shelf space to individuals and companies of all sizes, helping them reach hundreds of millions of customers, build their brands, and grow their business. Fast-forward to the present day, and these third-party seller products account for more than half of all units sold in our store.

With increasing complexity of today's ecommerce and rise of opportunities, the Strategic Account Services Team aims to leverage the full potential of each Amazon Selling Partner on Amazon. Our team provides leading-edge strategic consultancy using a data-driven, collaborative, and customer-focused approach to support our Selling Partners to achieve their goals. Our holistic service offering addresses advice on all facets of the Amazon Marketplace including topics such as international expansion, Portfolio Optimization, Fulfillment Strategy, Product Presentation, Promotions, Advertising Strategy and Brand Building. In parallel to this strategic support, we also help our selling partners to solve their most pressing operational challenges

As a Marketplace Consultant, you strategically consult your own portfolio of Selling Partners independently. Your objective is to support Selling Partners to drive their business growth and program satisfaction by working backwards from their individual targets and developing a roadmap together with your Selling Partners. In addition, you use your analytical know-how to proactively identify untapped potential of each Selling Partner. Last, you will be responsible of the launch of this program in your country, which entails a significant level of ambiguity and requires effective stakeholder management to coordinate across various teams.
