Amazon UK Product Sourcer (Online Arbitrage) - Experienced UK OA Sourcers Only

We are looking for an experienced Amazon Product Sourcer to help us grow and scale our UK Amazon FBA business. The main focus of the role is sourcing profitable products in the UK marketplace, primarily via Online Arbitrage.

WE HAVE THE CAPITAL READY TO SPEND. WHAT WE NEED IS MORE HIGH-QUALITY LEADS. That is the whole job, and it is why we are only looking for proven UK OA sourcers this time. If you are new to sourcing or have only worked the US market, this role is not for you.

WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR THE SAME LEADS EVERYONE ELSE BUYS. Deal lists, ---------- feeds and the top page of the scanning tools are seen by hundreds of sellers on the same day and the margin is gone within hours. We want a sourcer who can MANUFACTURE THEIR OWN DISCOUNT (stacking codes, clearance, discounts and anything else to make profitable products, price matches, multi-buy and bundle offers, newsletter and app-only promotions) and who can FIND LOW-KEY LEADS that never appear on a shared list: quiet retailers, deep category pages, seasonal clearance, brands with no third-party sellers yet. If you can take a shelf price that shows 5% ROI and turn it into a 25% buy, you are who we want.

The role includes an UNCAPPED BONUS based on the spend on leads you provide. The more we buy from your leads, the more you earn. Our top performing sourcers regularly earn an extra $400+ per month on top of salary, and there is no ceiling. FOR A PROVEN, ABSOLUTE TOP PERFORMER, THE BASE SALARY IS NEGOTIABLE. Show us your track record and we will talk.

The ideal candidate is self-motivated, hungry, and looking for a long-term position with space to grow. We ask that only candidates with real experience of Online Arbitrage product sourcing in the UK marketplace apply.

WHAT AN A-CLASS SOURCER LOOKS LIKE TO US:
- Consistently delivers leads we actually buy, not long lists of borderline ones
- Manufactures margin: knows every legitimate way to get a UK retailer's price down (code stacking, cashback sites, discounted gift cards, loyalty schemes, price matching, multi-buys, app and newsletter codes etc) and builds that into the lead before submitting it
- Finds low-key leads through methods the shared tools and deal lists do not surface: manual retailer digging, storefront and reverse sourcing, deep category and clearance pages, brands with no third-party sellers, seasonal and regional stock
- Uses a wide range of sourcing methods and keeps finding new ones (retailer clearance and promotions, brand and category scanning, Keepa Product Finder)
- Reads a Keepa chart properly: real sales velocity, the real sell price, Buy Box behaviour, etc
- Checks gating, IP risk, variations and VAT before submitting, so leads arrive clean
- Knows UK retailers and discount routes that most sourcing VAs do not

EXPERIENCE REQUESTED (please include details of your experience against each point in your application):
- 12+ months experience in OA sourcing for the UK market specifically
- Strong working knowledge of Amazon Seller Central, SellerAmp SAS and Keepa
- Experience in a variety of different sourcing methods for OA (and wholesale or Amazon-to-Amazon if applicable) - list every sourcing method you have used, step by step
- Google Sheets / Excel
- Understanding of UK VAT and UK FBA fees in profit calculations

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Product research and analysis in SAS and Keepa
- Finding your own leads from UK retailers and suppliers using your full range of methods
- Verifying, prioritising and re-checking leads passed to you by the team before they are bought
- Inputting leads into our leads database in the required format, with your reasoning
- Flagging replenishable winners

WHAT WE OFFER:
- $350 / month starting base salary + uncapped performance bonus paid on spend from your leads
- Flexible working hours (40 hours per week, work when suits you, with at least a one hour crossover with UK 9am-5pm for communication)
- Salary reviewed regularly and increased based on contribution and performance; base negotiable for a proven top performer
- Career development: we are expanding our team of VAs and will be promoting internally for managers and purchasers
- Long-term, stable role with a growing UK business

REQUIREMENTS:
- Full-time: 40 hours a week
- You will use timeproof software to demonstrate you are working effectively during contracted hours
- You will work for us and only us; you may not source for other e-commerce sellers at the same time
- Every lead you submit is checked. Padded or copied lead sheets end the trial.
- Include the words "BIG CHEESE" in your application subject. Applications without it are ignored. This is to make sure you have read the post.

TO APPLY:
Respond with the subject line above and include ALL of the following. Applications missing any of these are not read:

1. A brief description of why you are the best candidate and how you can help us grow.
2. Every sourcing method you use, step by step, in your own words. Which retailers, which discount and cashback routes, which Keepa filters, how you stack them. "I use Keepa and SAS" is not an answer.
3. How you manufacture discount. Give us a real example of a deal where the shelf price did not work and you built the margin yourself: which codes, cashback, gift card or loyalty discounts you stacked, in what order, and what the final buy price and ROI came to. Legitimate, publicly available discounts only.
4. 2-3 real UK product leads you have found in the last 7 days that did NOT come from a deal list, ---------- feed or the top page of a scanning tool: retailer purchase link, Amazon link, buy price including delivery and any discount applied, sell price, ROI, net profit after VAT and fees, estimated monthly sales, SAS and Keepa screenshots, how you found it, and a short description of why it is a good lead. This is mandatory, not optional, and it carries the most weight in our decision. Leads we recognise from public lists count against you.
5. Your track record: for your last one or two UK clients, roughly how much did they spend per month on your leads, and what ROI did those leads return? Do you have your old lead sheet for us to see example leads?

If you have a CV, portfolio or anything else that demonstrates why we should hire you, include it. Shortlisted candidates get a short video call and a paid two-week trial working real leads.
