This role sits at the intersection of supply chain strategy and Amazon-specific logistics execution, ensuring product availability, cost efficiency, and operational excellence across every marketplace our brand sells on.

About the Role:

This is not a general supply chain role. You will eat, breathe, and sleep Amazon logistics. While you will collaborate closely with our broader logistics and operations team, your focus is singular: making sure the right product is in the right Amazon fulfillment center, in the right quantity, at the right time, across every active marketplace. You will own demand planning, inbound shipment execution, inventory health, and cost management for Amazon FBA and any hybrid fulfillment strategies

*Cross-Marketplace Coordination*

• Manage the operational complexity of multi-marketplace inventory, including EU cross-border fulfillment programs (Pan-EU, EFN, CEE) • Stay ahead of marketplace-specific compliance requirements (VAT, product safety, import regulations) in partnership with our legal and finance teams • Serve as the logistics point of contact for any new marketplace launches on Amazon

*Collaboration & Reporting*

• Work hand-in-hand with our broader logistics team while maintaining dedicated focus on Amazon-specific needs • Provide regular reporting on inventory positions, inbound pipeline, and logistics KPIs to leadership • Collaborate with the Amazon channel team on promotional planning to ensure inventory supports planned deals and advertising pushes
