Full Time
Negotiable based on experience (USD)
TBD
Jun 17, 2026
We're hiring a VP of E-commerce to own the entire marketplace P&L at Marie Originals — a US-based, multi-brand DTC e-commerce company running across Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, and Shopify.
This is not a channel manager role. We have an Amazon team in place. We are concurrently hiring a Creative Strategist and a Shopify Growth & Operations Manager — but those are operator-level seats. What we don't have yet is the senior leader who owns the whole e-commerce portfolio, drives aggressive growth across all marketplaces, and reports directly to ownership on growth, gaps, and structural decisions.
Title flexibility: We are open to candidates starting as Director of E-commerce with a clear path to VP based on demonstrated structural impact.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Honestly: agency-trained operators. If you've held a senior role at a leading Amazon/marketplace management agency and you're ready to own a brand portfolio instead of managing a roster of clients — this is for you. We're equally open to in-house e-commerce leaders from DTC brands who have managed multiple marketplaces under one P&L.
We are NOT looking for:
- Pure operational managers without strategic chops
- Channel specialists who only know Amazon (you'll own Walmart and TikTok Shop too)
- AI-skeptics — we are an AI-first company
- People who can't close projects
YOU WILL OWN
1. Multi-channel growth (aggressive, not stagnant)
- Top-line revenue and channel-level P&L across Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, and Shopify
- Quarterly rocks per channel under our EOS framework
- Channel forecasting, budgeting, and coordination with operations on inventory planning
2. People leadership
- Direct management of the Amazon team (PPC, listings, SEO), Walmart and TikTok Shop operations
- Monthly performance reviews for every direct report
- Coordination with Creative Strategist, Graphic Design lead, and Shopify Growth & Ops Manager on shared initiatives (these seats are filling in parallel with this hire)
3. Structural thinking & bottleneck removal
- Quarterly SWOT analysis on the e-commerce business
- Weekly bottleneck identification with named owners and unblock dates
- Project closeout discipline — no more open-ended projects
4. Scalable structure: new vs. ongoing operations
- Establish split where ~90% of the team handles ongoing operations and ~10% works on new launches
- Build a "redo and maintain" workflow on Amazon
5. AI-driven operations leadership
- Drive AI adoption across the e-commerce teams (PPC automation, AI listing optimization, AI creative, AI-driven SEO/AEO/GEO)
- Push back on legacy "this software wasn't good two years ago" thinking
- Identify roles and tasks that should be automated rather than scaled with headcount
WHAT YOU BRING
- 7+ years in e-commerce, at least 3 in senior leadership or agency-leadership
- Track record managing multiple marketplaces simultaneously (Amazon + Walmart at minimum; TikTok Shop and Shopify a strong plus)
- People management with concrete examples — teams built, underperformers off-boarded, structures put in place
- Numbers fluency — channel-level P&L, ACoS/TACoS, conversion benchmarks, inventory turn
- AI-fluent — you actively use Claude, ChatGPT, and 2-3 marketplace AI tools daily
- Direct, structural communicator — identifies problems and pitches solutions
- Comfort with EOS frameworks
PAY
Negotiable based on experience and qualifications. Paid in USD. Senior agency-tier compensation for the right person.
LONG-TERM ROLE
This is a long-term position. We're a stable, founder-led, multi-brand DTC company. Not interested in short stints.
HOW TO APPLY
